Lactation Consultant Bristol
Welcome!
I’m Jess, an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) with over 10 years’ experience as an NHS midwife supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the early days of parenthood.
For the past four years, I’ve been providing private lactation support, helping families navigate feeding with confidence and compassion.
Becoming an IBCLC means completing advanced training and assessment in human lactation and infant feeding - it’s the highest level of qualification globally in this field. IBCLCs are recognised specialists in the clinical and emotional aspects of infant feeding, and we work alongside parents to find practical, personalised solutions that truly work for them.
My approach is gentle, holistic and non-judgemental, I know that every family’s feeding journey is unique, and there’s no one “right” way to do it.
I support families in Bristol, Bath and the surrounding areas.

Virtual: £60
Antenatal Feeding Preparation
Bristol: £75
Bath: £125 (includes additional travel time)
A relaxed, one-to-one session to help you prepare for your feeding journey. Sessions are completely tailored to you and can cover topics such as:
-
How breastfeeding works and what to expect
-
Latching and positioning techniques
-
Expressing and milk storage
-
Formula preparation and combination feeding
-
Building confidence and setting realistic expectations
These sessions are ideal for first-time parents or anyone wanting to feel more informed and prepared before baby arrives.
For families outside my local area, those who prefer remote support, or for those looking for a more affordable option.
Each session provides the same level of care as an in-person visit- a detailed feeding assessment, troubleshooting, and practical guidance- all from the comfort of your own home.
After the visit, you'll receive a comprehensive written summary and plan, along with two weeks of text support for ongoing reassurance.
