Support for your parenting journey

Hi, I'm Karli. I'm a mum of three, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a postpartum doula, with a background in paediatric occupational therapy.

Becoming a parent is such a huge transition. It's not just about welcoming a new baby, but also about finding your feet in a new role, adjusting to a different way of life and navigating all the changes that come with it. I believe parents deserve just as much care and support through this transition as their babies do.

I know that feeding a baby isn't always as straightforward as we expect, and those early weeks and months can bring plenty of questions and unexpected challenges. My approach is practical, warm and evidence-based. I take the time to understand what's happening for you and your baby, what matters to your family and what you're hoping to achieve. I'm not here to tell you there's only one right way to do things.

I also believe we're not meant to do this alone. Having people around you who you can turn to for advice, reassurance or an extra pair of hands can make such a difference. Asking for support isn't a weakness. It's part of building your village, and something I really encourage families to embrace.

Alongside lactation support, I offer daytime and overnight postpartum care, as well as personalised antenatal education to help families prepare for life with a newborn. From understanding feeding and normal newborn behaviour to practical skills like bathing, swaddling and settling, I love helping parents feel more prepared and confident as they find their feet.

Whether you're looking for some practical breastfeeding education before your baby arrives, navigating feeding challenges or simply needing some extra support in those early months, I'd love to help.
