WHERE AND HOW I WORK
A FLEXIBLE RANGE OF CONTACT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE AS WE WORK TOGETHER INCLUDING
HOME VISIT
I offer home visits for families in Manchester and surrounding areas, get in touch with your postcode to see if this would be the best option for you.
WALK WITH ME
Sometimes walking helps a conversation to flow
VIDEO CONSULT
Suitable for a wide range of breastfeeding concerns.
COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
Face to Face
I am providing face to face contacts in line with government guidelines. This includes having PPE and screening questions on household wellness. I will bring my own refuse bag and any waste items including PPE will be bagged on leaving your home and placed in your waste with your consent. This is to protect you and any other families I visit homes. I will bring hand sanitiser and ask that you have a place for washing my hands with soap and water. If this is your preferred option get in touch with your postcode and I will check if I can visit you at your home.
Remote contacts
Video consults work well but do have limitations, to mitigate these I will request photos or videos of your baby feeding along with an intake form before our session. There are creative ways to guide you when it comes to comfortable latch and positions.
