I am a dedicated Infant Feeding Specialist with a strong passion for supporting families through the earliest stages of their journey.

​​​

In my role as a specialist neonatal dietitian, I closely monitor your baby's growth and feeding progress, identifying challenges early and delivering targeted, individualised interventions to support optimal development and healthy outcomes.

​

As a certified lactation consultant, I help parents confidently establish and maintain breastfeeding, offering expert guidance and practical, hands-on support every step of the way. I also provide tailored advice on bottle-feeding, ensuring each family receives personalised care that reflects their individual needs and goals.

​

I am committed to promoting the health and well-being of both parents and babies through compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic support.

"We met with Michaela after struggling to get the support we needed through the NHS for our little one. However, once we found her EVERYTHING changed for the better. From the first meeting she was friendly, supportive, and gave us instant advice and a plan on how to get to where we needed to go. Her multidisciplinary knowledge across breast feeding and nutrition, meant our little one got the best of both worlds and my wife finally got the right support. We cannot praise Michalea enough for her incredible support and advocacy, she gave us back the confidence we had lost and now our little one is thriving better than ever. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Michaela!"
