Lactation Councilor

Many books will tell you that breast/chest feeding is the most natural thing in the world. For many though breast/chest feeding can be extremely challenging. Gemma herself knows these challenges and after her own breastfeeding experience wanted to train and certify so she could help other parents understand how lactation works and what to look for in identifying a successful feed. Gemma underwent the 90 hours of formal training and completed the additional 30 hours of in person practice. Her certification is through Childbirth International and is recognized globally. Since certifying, Gemma has been helping parents through their lactation journey.
