Meet Our Team
Our team of trustees and volunteers is made up of passionate, caring individuals who are committed to supporting families and promoting positive infant feeding experiences. With diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, they play a vital role in guiding our work, running our sessions, and helping our charity thrive. Together, they bring energy, empathy, and expertise to everything we do.
This charity was one of my biggest dreams, to support women along their infant feeding journey with informed decisions.
I was told I wouldn’t be able to breastfeed, but I went on to nurse my child for 3.5 years. That journey became the inspiration behind my mission to support others. When I’m not talking about breastfeeding, I’m either reading about it or running up and down the South Downs thinking about it! I believe that every drop counts and that every breastfeeding journey, no matter its length - is a success story.
I’m a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS) and Certified Lactation Counsellor (CLC), a proud mom to a beautiful little girl, and the slightly reluctant human of one very stubborn cat. In my work life, I’m also a proud business owner of a breastfeeding support service in East Sussex.
I'm a trustee because I'm passionate about supporting parents and increasing breastfeeding rates. I first got into this work during my university studies, where my dissertation explored ways to increase breastfeeding rates among teenagers and young parents, a topic I've always cared deeply about.
I have two beautiful daughters, a 14-year-old and a toddler, both of whom I breastfed, and I love practicing attachment parenting. I have recently trained as an ABM breastfeeding peer supporter and love helping mothers with their feeding journey. When I'm not busy with family or charity work, you'll likely find me running or at the gym.
I’m a trustee for this charity because I’m deeply passionate about supporting women and families through the transformative journey of parenthood. As a mum to two young daughters, with a 12-month-old and a 3-year-old, and a proud stepmum to two bonus babies, I’ve experienced first-hand the importance of having a strong support network.
My work as a postnatal and sling peer supporter reflects my commitment to empowering parents, and I feel strongly about advocating for women’s birthing and feeding rights, especially the importance of making informed choices about our bodies. Currently one year into a fulfilling breastfeeding journey with my youngest, I believe in nurturing confidence and community through shared experiences. When I’m not busy with family life or charity work, you’ll find me at the gym, playing rugby, socialising with other mums, reading, or dancing around the kitchen.
Trustee, Postnatal Mental Health Peer Supporter & Babywearing Peer Supporter
I’m a first-time mum to my one-year-old son and also a proud stepmum to a seven-year-old. We live near Hailsham, where I enjoy reading, walking, and spending time with my horse (although riding is a rare treat these days!). In my professional life, I am a document controller for a global infrastructure firm and run my own virtual assistant business supporting local companies.
Becoming a trustee for SCBfS is something I’m really proud of. My own breastfeeding journey had a difficult start, with challenges like weight loss, tongue tie, and low supply. Despite that, it grew into something I’m deeply passionate about. I'm grateful to be part of such a supportive and growing community, and I look forward to helping other families feel informed, encouraged, and confident in their own experiences.

I am stay-at-home mum to five wonderful children, from teenagers to a toddler, including two amazing stepchildren. We’re a blended family full of energy, love, and life’s ups and downs. Our home is beautifully chaotic, filled with the joys and challenges of raising neurodiverse children, and we’re also on a home-educating journey.
I’ve lived through the emotional rollercoaster of having a premature baby, time in NICU, birth trauma, postnatal depression, and anxiety. The struggle has been very real and some days, it still is. That’s why I’m deeply passionate about supporting other mums.
Here at Sunshine Coast Breastfeeding Support, I’m proud to stand beside other parents, sharing my story and holding space for theirs, because no one should feel alone in the hardest moments of motherhood.
I have been working as a midwife for the NHS and privately for 8 years, working in and around London, but recently moved and settled in Hastings.
My passion for supporting family's started early in my career but grew during my time as a home-birth midwife. I had the privilege of 'stepping back in time' and was able to spend many hours with my case-loading family's in the comfort of their own home and watched as they went from newly qualified parents to confident mummas! I completed my IBCLC training in 2023 and qualified at the beginning of 2025.
In my (little- as I love my jobs so much!) spare time I like to read, walk on the beach (very new and exciting for me to be living by the sea now!). I enjoy socialising with my family and friends, especially my nephew and my God children, and my little furry 'son' Rèmy the Pomapoo.
