I spent 11 years in Perth, Australia, working predominantly in Mental Health, as a Community Support Worker with Perth Homecare Services & at Fremantle Hospital as a Registered Nurse. Since moving back to Zimbabwe and having a family of my own, I have gravitated towards working with babies, young children & their families and have worked at 2 local preschools. I am excited for this next chapter & strive to make a difference in the lives of breastfeeding mums, their babies & families. My role is to provide breastfeeding counselling & support to families thinking about breastfeeding, or to those already breastfeeding, but may have questions or issues, including but not limited to - issues with correct latch, milk supply, baby’s milk intake, blocked milk ducts & mastitis. As a Counsellor I do not make medical diagnosis’s & will make referrals to the relevant health professionals when necessary. I also provide education & support with expressing, how to use a breast pump, hand expressing & safe milk collection & storage options. I am available for education, health events & baby showers.
