Sweet Baby Love
Midwifery, Lactation & Early Parenting Support
About me
My name is Chantelle. I am a Registered Endorsed Midwife and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I have been a Midwife for 9 years and a Lactation Consultant for 2 years. I am honoured to work in partnership with women, babies and families throughout their pregnancy, birthing and postnatal journey. I am passionate about ensuring all clients are able to make informed choices regarding their care. I also have a keen interest in supporting women to have a comfortable pregnancy and am a certified Spinning Babies Aware Practitioner.
As a Lactation Consultant I am passionate in supporting women to achieve breastfeeding success with their precious new baby/ies, including specific interest in oral tie assessment and muscle tension and alignment therapy.
I also have a background in early childhood and early parenting, having worked in both early childcare and more recently in an early parenting facility. I am passionate about assisting new parents transition into their parenting role and providing support and advice with newborn and infant nuances, specifically sleep challenges.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my golden retriever, Maisie, going to dance classes, seeing musicals and having brunch with friends.
I look forward to meeting you, and getting to know you and your family.
