About Justine
I have been supporting families since 2011 when I was accredited as a breastfeeding counsellor with one of the national breastfeeding organisations. I am also a Certified Lactation Support Provider (CLSP) and an Infant Feeding Support Worker. I am also a recognised postnatal doula with Doula UK since 2016.
I am also a Founder Trustee of Cambridge Breastfeeding Alliance, co-run a number of breastfeeding support groups and work as an infant feeding support working around Cambridgeshire. I'm also a Developing Doulas Companion/Mentor supporting new doulas.
I support parents to feel confident and informed in their feeding journey -whatever that looks like for them.
My approach is always individual, non-judgemental, and rooted in evidence-based information. Whether you are breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, combination feeding, expressing, or supplementing, I am here to help you find what works best for you and your baby.
I have worked with families across a wide range of feeding experiences and understand that every journey is different. My role is to provide clear, up-to-date information and supportive guidance, so you can make decisions that feel right for your family.
I also co-lead the local group of a national breastfeeding organisation and am part of the national social media team.
I am a co-founder and trustee of Cambridge Breastfeeding Alliance and am one of the breastfeeding counsellors working at the weekly Breastfeeding Drop-in in Cambridge and providing online support. I also provide breastfeeding support at a number of groups in the area.
I have completed extensive training in infant feeding, including ongoing specialist training in expressing and flange fitting, and I am a Certified Lactation Support Provider (CLSP). Keeping my knowledge current and evidence-based is central to the support I offer.
I am part of Doula UK, Cambridge Doula Collective, Developing Doulas and Cambridgeshire Doulas and am a Companion/Mentor for new doulas with Developing Doulas, and offer specialist one-off sessions around infant feeding.
I hold a current DBS check, insurance and emergency paediatric first aid level 3.

"Justine's help was crucial to us helping us to fully enjoy the first few months with our little girl. The combination of her experience, lovely approach and huge knowledge about breastfeeding gave us the support we needed to get through a difficult start and still feel like we could enjoy those initial few weeks together as we got used to being a new family. Her sensitive approach meant we were comfortable and enjoyed having her as part of what is a very personal family time. We are incredibly grateful for her wisdom, sensitivity and kindness, and can't recommend her support postnatally more highly."
