Shona Cassels - Lactation Consultant IBCLC (Lactation Consultant)
FEEDING-SLEEP-PARENTING
Practical, gentle, holistic. Let me help you find your happy feed!

I have over 15 years of supporting breastfeeding families, including over 10 years as an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) here on the Gold Coast. I can assist with sore/cracked ni***es, painful breastfeeding, difficulty latching on (positioning and attaching); mastitis, blocked ducts and/or breast pain; colic/reflux; tongue ties and lip ties; low milk supply or oversupply

; breast refusal or fussiness; breastfeeding after breast reduction or augmentation (implants); relactation or inducing lactation; concerns about growth/weight gain; sleep issues; expressing/pumping; returning to work/study while breastfeeding; and weaning! I provide accurate and evidence-based information about breastfeeding, sleep and parenting, together with skilled, experienced, nurturing and practical support. No matter what challenges you are experiencing, together we can make a plan to help you reach your breastfeeding and parenting goals.

Iโ€™m so looking forward to being a part of this event on May 2nd ๐Ÿ’œ

โญ๏ธ The research is clear: the system wasnโ€™t built for mums, and we need more support.

Enter - a grassroots organisation born from doctoral research into the real lives of working mothers - led by PhD candidate, Psychologist, and mum Afrouz Shoghi.

On Saturday 2nd May, weโ€™re bringing together some amazing local expert speakers to talk honestly about what it really looks like to navigate work and motherhood - and share with you some essential tools that will make a big difference to your life.

If youโ€™re a mum juggling kids, housework, paid work and everything in between - we SEE YOU and weโ€™d love you to join us for our first ever event.

Because this isnโ€™t a womanโ€™s problem to solve โ€” itโ€™s everyoneโ€™s problem to solve.
