Hello, I'm Beryl.
I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and I am so glad you are here. My journey to becoming a lactation consultant is deeply personal, rooted in my own experiences as a mother and my commitment to helping you discover your own innate strength.
As a mother of two, I experienced the transformative power of trusting my body firsthand, leading to two natural, medication-free births - including the incredible, empowering home birth of my second child. My own beautiful and ongoing breastfeeding journeys with both my children have been a source of immense joy and connection. To read more about my personal birth stories, you can find them on my blog.
These experiences revealed my true calling: to support other families with the same compassionate, evidence-based care. Since 2021, I have dedicated myself to this path as a Lactation Counselor and Childbirth Educator. I furthered that commitment by achieving the IBCLC credential in 2025 - the gold standard in lactation care - backed by over 1,000 hours of clinical breastfeeding counselling.
My approach is holistic and heart-led. While I am deeply guided by evidence-based information, I also hold space for the profound emotional and personal journey of feeding your baby. I see the whole picture: not just a feeding challenge to be solved, but a parent and a child learning to communicate and connect. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel unconditionally supported, your choices are respected, and your confidence can grow.
My mission is to be your partner in this journey, helping you navigate with confidence, find your voice, and create a story filled with milk, guided by love, and brightened by laughs.
I can't wait to support you.
I believe in the natural wisdom of your body and your baby. My role is to equip you with evidence-based knowledge, so you can navigate your journey with confidence, trust the process, and advocate for the choices that feel right for your family.
My Qualifications & Approach
My Guiding Beliefs:
Trust the Foundation: Your body and your baby are wired with natural, intuitive wisdom.
Empower with Knowledge: Accurate, evidence-based information is the key to confident choices.
Advocate from a Place of Strength: I support you in finding your voice to make informed decisions for your family.
Follow Their Lead: Honour your child's unique pace and trust the process, in feeding and in life.
I blend the science of lactation with the art of mindful connection
A Holistic Approach:
Mind, Body, and Baby
My support is rooted in a unique trifecta of expertise: as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), a Hypnobirthing Childbirth Educator, and a Certified Hypnotherapist. While I am deeply grounded in evidence-based information, my approach cares for you not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as a whole person.
My philosophy is built on a foundation of profound, biological trust: trust in the innate ability of a body to nourish and a baby to communicate its needs. My own journey into motherhood solidified this belief, and now I am dedicated to creating a safe space for you to connect with your unique strength and your baby's cues.
I believe the empowerment that leads to a positive birth - through informed choices, self-awareness, and trust in one's own wisdom - is the very same empowerment that fosters a confident feeding journey. My role is to be your guide, equipping you with evidence-based knowledge and support as you make informed decisions and honour your child's unique pace, every step of the way.
