Paediatrician & Lactation Consultant
Specialised paediatric and lactation services for parents, caregivers, babies and children.
Individualised lactation support for women with a history of cancer, or active cancer in pregnancy.
Telehealth and home visits.
My private practice is currently limited to mothers with a history of cancer, and their babies.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and have previously been treated for cancer or have received a recent cancer diagnosis, I would be delighted to assist with your infant feeding choices and paediatric care. I provide telehealth services for lactation support Australia-wide. Paediatric home visits are restricted to patients in metropolitan Melbourne and are considered on a case-by-case basis.
ABOUT ME
I am a General Paediatrician and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with more than a decade of paediatric experience.
I love working with young children and believe every child should be supported to reach their full potential, irrespective of individual difference or adversity.

MY SERVICES
Supporting mothers affected by cancer
LACTATION SUPPORT
As a Paediatrician and IBCLC, I am uniquely placed to provide lactation support to mothers affected by cancer. I will conduct a comprehensive medical history and lactation assessment, and discuss your infant feeding goals. Together we will establish an individualised feeding plan for your baby with utmost consideration given to infant safety in the context of your past, present and future treatments.
PAEDIATRIC HEALTHCARE
I provide paediatric care to infants and children of all ages, across all levels of medical complexity.
I have a special interest in neonatal care after cancer in pregnancy. I provide a nation-wide telehealth service to address your questions about infant health and feeding after cancer treatment. For Melbourne-based parents with a personal history of cancer, I can provide a home-visiting service to perform your infant's 6-week check, a routine examination of your baby's physical health and wellbeing.
