About me

Certified Lactation and Sleep Consultant in Dubai

My name is Lisa, and I am a Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Paediatric Sleep Coach, Baby Massage Instructor and Starting Solids Facilitator based in Dubai and serving families worldwide. I believe in empowering you with the knowledge and tools to help you in your parenting journey. This includes sleep coaching guidance, breastfeeding support, creating a loving bond through baby massage classes and sharing knowledge to help you feel fully prepared for weaning onto solids with your little one.

I offer comprehensive guidance, assistance, and troubleshooting across all aspects of infant feeding, from establishing breastfeeding, to exclusive pumping and weaning from the breast.

With nearly two decades of experience as a paediatric and neonatal nurse, I have worked in diverse healthcare settings worldwide, including UK, USA, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and now Dubai, which has equipped me with a wealth of knowledge in different cultures. Throughout my career, my focus has always been on supporting parents, imparting knowledge, and empowering them to care for the most important thing in their life – their child.

Transitioning into the roles of a sleep coach and lactation consultant from a senior nursing role has allowed me to continue to help parents, in whichever capacity they need while dedicating the time and attention necessary to truly make a difference. I am grateful to have found my passion, and to have had my nursing career lead me to where I find myself, as I truly love what I do and the difference it makes to the families I work with.

My core values

Empowering

I aim to empower families with the knowledge they need to feel confident in helping their child learn lifelong, healthy sleep skills and set solid nutritional foundations. My goal is to help you create a plan that works best for you and your family’s needs.

Holistic

My plans look at the whole picture. I believe that a holistic approach is key to helping families get the best results. I’ll provide unbiased advice with no judgement or guilt. I’m here to help you help your child. My plans don't just solve your immediate 'problem', but aim to set you up with lifelong parenting skills by looking at your family unit as a whole.

Supporting

I am here to support you throughout our journey together and will provide helpful guidance and advice along the way. I understand that as a new parent, or even an experienced parent, this can be a stressful time – so my goal is to make it as easy for you as possible to achieve secure attachment, restorative sleep and successful feeding for your child.

Tailored

All of my consulting packages are always tailored to your individual family needs, considering factors such as age, developmental milestones, nutrition and lifestyle. We will also discuss your parenting style so that you are completely comfortable with the advice I give to you.

“My mission is to empower you to understand how sleep, bonding and infant feeding/nutrition go hand in hand, and how you can help your child develop healthy feeding & sleep habits.”
