Let me help you get the joy back in your breastfeeding journey
Breastfeeding is a beautiful and complex experience, especially when faced with challenges like pain, nipple damage, and concerns about your baby's growth.
I understand the deep desire to breastfeed your baby and form that special connection.
The support you have had so far has left you feeling helpless and unsure where to go next.
I'm here to offer you gentle guidance and support on this path. My approach is rooted in evidence-based Gestalt principles, focusing on effective milk transfer with fit and hold, to increase supply and make breastfeeding a comfortable and rewarding experience for you and your little one.

Hey there, I am Dr. Lauren Fisher. A General Practitioner with further training in Breastfeeding Medicine.
If I am honest, I’m totally over breastfeeding advice that leads to poor outcomes for mums and babies.
I was shocked at the amount of poor advice given to me as a new mum and how common it is for mum’s to not be supported on how to optimise breastfeeding effectively. Many mums have a desperate desire to breastfeed but are not given the tools to do so effectively.
I know first hand what it’s like to feel guilt and worry that you are not providing your baby with what they need and have witnessed the heartbreak that women feel when their breastfeeding path has not gone smoothly.
That’s why I use up to date evidence-based principles to get better breastfeeding outcomes for mums like you.
Are you ready to change the narrative of your feeding journey?
Let me help you steer clear of breastfeeding pitfalls
Only 50% of mums exclusively breastfeed at 6 weeks and 16% at 6 months, many due to nipple pain and a poor fit and hold.

Nipple pain is a symptom of an underlying problem. Seek professional support early if you are struggling with nipple pain, ‘gas’, or a fussy baby.
