About Me
Hi, I’m Lola.
I’m a Registered Midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a deep passion for supporting families through pregnancy, feeding, and the postnatal period. My approach is calm, inclusive, and trauma-informed, with a strong belief that parents deserve care that feels respectful, personalised, and supportive. Not rushed or overwhelming.
I’ve always been drawn to pregnancy, birth, and babies. Despite living with chronic illness and taking a non-traditional path into training, I pursued midwifery through Trinity College Dublin, graduating with a First-Class Honours degree and completing an Erasmus placement in Denmark.
I began my career in postnatal care just before the COVID-19 pandemic. Supporting families during that time showed me how vital genuine, one-to-one care is especially when parents are recovering from birth, navigating feeding, and feeling vulnerable or isolated.
During my years at the Rotunda Hospital, I specialised in postnatal and theatre midwifery. I developed a particular interest in supporting families through caesarean births, protecting early bonding and skin-to-skin, and helping to initiate feeding in theatre and recovery. Championing what is normal, meaningful, and human, even in clinical settings, became one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
Becoming a parent myself deepened my understanding of infant feeding even further. I experienced the realities of jaundice, slow weight gain, blood sugar monitoring, teething, and the emotional ups and downs that can come with feeding challenges. In 2024, I qualified as an IBCLC, allowing me to combine clinical expertise with lived experience to support families in a way that feels practical, empathetic, and empowering.
Whether you’re preparing for feeding, navigating challenges, recovering after birth, or simply looking for reassurance, I aim to offer clear information, genuine compassion, and care that feels steady and non-judgemental. I’d be honoured to support you wherever you are in your journey.
