Yesterday was a full-circle moment. 🧡

I had the privilege of stepping back into the lecture hall to share some real-world insights with the fifth-year MHSc Chiropractic students at the University of Johannesburg.

So grateful to Dr Hay, for the opportunity to connect with the next generation of chiropractors, share a little of what practice has taught me about paeds and pregnancy, and hopefully inspire them the way these lectures once inspired me. ✨

There’s something really special about teaching where you once sat. 🧡

Breastfeeding is about more than just the "latch"

Just because your baby latches doesn't mean they're latching well.

A good feed isn't just about getting milk in..it's about comfort, function, and efficiency. Your baby's neck movement, jaw function, body tension, and feeding position can all influence how they feed.

As a Chiropractor and Lactation Consultant, I assess the whole feeding picture, not just the latch.

Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest difference. 💚

💚 World Breastfeeding Awareness Week is here! 💚

I'll be sharing daily breastfeeding insights, all week long.

Today's reminder: Breastfeeding is natural like learning to walk, not like breathing. It takes time, practice, and support. Both you and your baby are learning together.

Some tenderness in the early days can be normal, but ongoing pain isn't. If breastfeeding doesn't feel right, seek support early..it can make all the difference.

You don't have to struggle to succeed.

Contact your nearest Lactation Consultant for support.

Change the Birth, Change the Life 🩷

This weekend filled my cup in every way.

Three incredible days of learning, growth, and inspiration alongside some truly amazing friends and colleagues.

I'm so grateful to have completed the practical training component of the Webster Certification, together with advanced training in Adjusting for Birth and Perinatal Care. Every session strengthened my ability to better support pregnant mothers, babies, and their birth journeys through Chiropractic care.

A heartfelt thank you to the organisers Paediatric Chiropractic Africa , for bringing this opportunity to South Africa.

Jen Santos and Kristen Hosaka , it has been an absolute privilege to learn from you both. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, passion, and experience so generously. I can't wait to put it all into practice.

What if supporting breastfeeding wasn't just a lactation consultant's job?

This weekend in Zambia, I had the privilege of speaking to Chiropractors from across Africa and around the world about how we can become stronger allies for breastfeeding families. From understanding infant feeding challenges to recognising the role we play in supporting mothers and babies, every healthcare professional has the power to make a difference.

Honoured to share this message, learn from incredible colleagues, and contribute to advancing family-centred care across our continent 🇿🇲✨

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month 💛

Living with endometriosis can be incredibly challenging, and everyone’s triggers can be different. For me, cutting out/reducing things like alcohol, dairy, caffeine, and heavily processed foods made a huge difference in my symptoms and inflammation.

This isn’t a cure, but small lifestyle changes can sometimes help make the condition more manageable.

Reading 'Heal Endo' by Kate Edmonds really changed my outlook on how food affects my endo. I hope it helps you too!

If you’re navigating endometriosis, know that you’re not alone. Awareness and shared experiences matter 🎗️
