About me

Hi there! I'm Catherine, a passionate advocate for early childhood development and well-being. With a unique blend of expertise in both lactation consulting and speech pathology, I'm dedicated to supporting families in nurturing their little ones from the very start. As a lactation consultant, I empower mothers and families with evidence-based guidance and compassionate support to establish and maintain successful breastfeeding relationships. I believe in the profound benefits of breastfeeding for both infants and mothers and strive to make this journey as smooth and fulfilling as possible. In my role as a speech pathologist, I specialize in pediatric feeding/swallowing disorders, helping children overcome challenges with mealtimes. By leveraging my knowledge of infant feeding dynamics and oral motor development, I provide holistic support to families, addressing feeding difficulties at the breast, bottle and beyond. My ultimate goal is to foster healthy growth and development in children while equipping parents with the tools and confidence they need to support their child's unique needs. I am committed to making a positive difference in the lives of families every step of the way. Let's embark on this journey together, nurturing happy, thriving little ones and building stronger, more connected families along the way.
