Vision of Empowered Lactation with Emma

Empowered Lactation with Emma was birthed in 2019, out of love and a sincere care for women during what is often a painful, tired and stressful experience.

I truly believe that a prevention is better than a cure. Growing in education and support before baby arrives, is such a positive step towards breastfeeding. By building on your own knowledge and learning the 'how' and 'why' of breastfeeding, you can feel empowered and trust the partnership between you and your baby, just as you did when growing your baby during pregnancy.

When we develop realistic expectations based on accurate information and the reassurance of 'normal' (realising our own individuality's), we can reduce the risk of common complications often experienced and grow healthy baby's and mums with a holistic approach.

Ultimately this strengthens your bond with your baby, and EMPOWERS you to have confidence in your breastfeeding journey.

About

About Me- Emma Maher

I am an IBCLC who has a deeply loved passion to support women in their breastfeeding journey in motherhood.

My professional experience includes nursing, midwifery and child and family health nursing. Combining these experiences together provides a range of skills for me support women and their partners during this often fragile transitioning of welcoming a baby to their family.

A little about me personally - I'm also a wife to my handsome husband and Mum to my three young children who are super busy! Ranging in a 10 yr age gap - I'm back in baby world, walking this journey along side you.

I love being outside in the fresh air, discovering nature and being active. I value health and truly believe it should be a holistic approach, reducing toxins in the home, moving our body & clean eating.
