I’ve just returned from an unforgettable experience in India, where I joined the LWR medical mission camp at The Duncan Hospital in Bihar.. and it has truly changed me.

As an administrator in the Operating theater, I had the privilege of witnessing life-changing cleft lip and palate surgeries up close. Watching each child go into theatre, and seeing them come out with a new chance at feeding, smiling, and thriving, was humbling in a way I’ll never forget. The skill, compassion, and dedication of the surgical team reminded me why global healthcare work matters so deeply.

After the camp, Mumbai gave me a glimpse into a world far different from my own. From navigating crowded local trains to sharing simple, flavourful street food with the team, every moment broadened my perspective. It grounded me. It reminded me of the privilege I have.. in my life, my work, and the resources I often take for granted.

This trip has deepened my appreciation for the patients I care for back home, and for the resilience of communities everywhere. It reinforced my commitment to serve with empathy, to teach with intention, and to meet every patient exactly where they are.

Grateful for the opportunity. Grateful for the people I met. Grateful for the work we were able to do.

Love Without Reason.. thank you for reminding me what impact truly looks like.

Until the world is cleft free and there are no more sold!

✨ Exciting News! ✨

After months of dedication, studying, and hands-on learning, I’m proud to share that I am now officially a South African Certified Lactation Consultant (SACLC) 🤱🏽👩🏽‍🎓

The journey wasn’t easy, it included about 60 hours of online lectures, 100 practical hours, countless assignments and a challenging 3-hour exam.. but it was absolutely worth it.

Supporting mothers and babies on their feeding journeys has become such a huge passion of mine, and this certification allows me to serve families with even more knowledge, confidence, and care.

Thank you to my amazing friends and fellow LC's Amber Kukard and Anna Le Grange for your advice, support and help. Here’s to empowering more parents and helping more little ones thrive! 💕

Happy Women's Day 💕🇿🇦

Breastfeeding success relies on strong support from family, friends, healthcare workers, and employers.

In South Africa, where many moms face challenges like work return and social pressures, supportive environments empower mothers to continue breastfeeding.

Let’s build a world where no mom has to choose between nourishing her child and her daily life. Share your story, advocate for breastfeeding-friendly spaces, and stand with mothers in your community.

Together, we can create sustainable support systems that help every baby thrive.

Thank you for making it to Day 7 of 💕

Day 6 of

Today we're talking about supporting working moms

In South Africa, the Basic Conditions of Employment Act: Code of Good Practice mandates critical support for both pregnant and breast‑feeding employees

• Clinic Access: Employers must allow time off for antenatal and postnatal clinic visits during pregnancy and after birth.

• Breast‑feeding Breaks: For the first six months of a child’s life, breast‑feeding employees are entitled to two 30‑minute breaks each working day to breast‑feed or express milk.

These aren’t favours, they are your rights. Your body is working overtime to grow and support new life.. and the law is on your side to support you through this season. ❤️

Don’t be afraid to ask, advocate, and take the space you need, for you and your baby.

You are not alone. You are seen. And you are doing amazing!

Breastfeeding isn’t always easy!

It's day 5 and we're focusing on some of the challenges moms may face while breastfeeding.

Sore ni***es, low milk supply, or returning to work? You’re not alone! These are common challenges.

Seek help early, the right support makes all the difference.

Remember that selfcare is NOT selfish 💕

The Golden Hour: the First Hour After Birth ✨

That first hour? It’s pure gold. Skin-to-skin contact during the Golden Hour helps your baby adjust to life outside the womb, stabilises their breathing and temperature, and naturally encourages the first latch.

Starting breastfeeding within this hour increases success rates and helps build a deep bond.

If that hour slips by, don’t worry, there is support to help you and baby find your way.

Celebrate the power of those first moments this World Breastfeeding Week!
