Hi there, my name is Angela, Mum to 2 young kids and wife to Alan. We live in Cork, Ireland.
I qualified as a general nurse 16 years ago and I have been a midwife for 14 years.
I have worked both nationally and internationally since qualifying. I was nominated for Midwife of the year award for my work as a midwife in Australia. While working in Perth, Australia I was part of the opening team of a brand new hospital.
Through my work as a midwife I discovered a passion and love for infant feeding. I saw a lot of conflicting advise given to new parents and I decided to become an IBCLC so that I could expand my knowledge base and provide an evidence based practical approach in helping families. I qualified as an IBCLC in 2021.
I have helped many families in their infant feeding journeys.
I have had my own two very different infant feeding journeys. One combination fed with breastfeeding, expressed breastmilk and formula and the other exclusive breastfeeding for 2 years and counting!
My passion is to help families with their infant feeding journey (exclusive breastfeeding, exclusive pumping, combination feeding, exclusive formula feeding) whatever path that may be for them.
