👶 Staff Spotlight | World Breastfeeding Week 🤱
As part of World Breastfeeding Week, we're shining a light on our amazing lactation consultants, our compassionate experts helping families every day at Western Obstetrics and Mums and Bubs Clinic.
Today we’d love to introduce you to Stephanie Emmons, Midwife and IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant).
Stephanie completed her nursing degree in 2013 and began her career at Royal Perth Hospital. While working there, she also studied midwifery through ECU, training at King Edward Memorial Hospital. Since 2017, Stephanie has worked across all areas of maternity care at St John of God Midland, from labour and birth to postnatal care and the neonatal nursery.
Her passion for supporting others has extended beyond the hospital too, volunteering with Canteen, a children’s cancer support foundation, and even travelling to Africa in 2019 to volunteer as a midwife educator.
After becoming a mum herself in 2020, Stephanie's passion for breastfeeding support and education deepened. She understands firsthand how beautiful, and challenging, this journey can be. Now, as a fully qualified lactation consultant, she brings both personal empathy and professional knowledge to every appointment.
Stephanie is available for lactation consultations at both Western Obstetrics and Mums and Bubs Clinic. Whether you're just starting out, experiencing bumps along the way, or simply looking for support, she's here to help.
