I am an experienced lactation specialist with 20+ years of clinical experience in midwifery, child health, breastfeeding and lactation. I’m driven to solve the preventable challenges families face caring for babies and young children. As Head of Maternal Child Health for the HelpMe Feed Foundation, I enable care, research and best practice to be implemented through HelpMe Feed. I work as part of a diverse global team from my home in coastal Western Australia.HelpMe Feed is the world’s leading breastfeeding support app. In 28 languages, it bridges the gap between face-to-face and online support, providing short videos and tele-health tools to connect mothers and families to health professionals and volunteer support around the world.Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life and continued breastfeeding up to two years of age is the gold standard recommended by UNICEF and WHO. Global evidence has proven unequivocally it is the best investment for optimal growth and intellectual development of a child. We’re confident that the quality support resources and tools developed by HelpMe Feed will move the dial on global breastfeeding rates.If you would like to learn more about the HelpMe Feed Foundation, HelpMe Feed app, our research and our mission, I encourage you to get in touch.
