​Tell me more about your offerings!
Like you, I am a parent. I would go to the ends of the earth for my babies.  I was heartbroken, afraid and desperate to help my baby who faced a behavioural feeding aversion.

My journey to find help took too many wrong roads including over-diagnosed medical conditions and doctors not truly listening.

I created NC for parents who are struggling with their baby who will not eat and has no medical reasoning for it. My experience is first hand and my consultancy continues to support parents around the world. I am not a doctor. I look holistically at your baby and provide a bespoke feeding plan to support your baby’s eating habits.  From that point, we can work together to find peace, joy, and freedom from feeding aversion.

Now for logistics: 

• What areas of the city do you serve?

International baby - 100% virtual. I’ve worked with clients in Canada, UK, USA to Singapore and South Africa. Unfortunately, baby’s across the globe are developing feeding aversions.

Meeting Kat and Kenji you can't help but feel their connection, their big smiles and warm attitude bring you right into the fold. 

Sharing a meal, watching some hockey and getting to know each other we fell into comfort easily. With every day growing nearer to meeting little Malia.

Getting the call and swinging by in the dead of night, and giving the bad news of "not time yet, go back to bed and rest before working so hard...". I dropped off a TENS and headed for a nap as I had a sense things would turn a corner shortly...

As dawn broke and I weaved through the commuter traffic, my knowing was confirmed. Things were rocking and a rolling for Kat. Kenji had to "holy shit!" look on his face of witnessing a powerful active labour and Kat was deep in labour land.

Getting her comfortable in her tub, and seeing if it would change her labour pattern - spoiler alert, she was going full steam ahead. I quickly made the call to Krysta (her cousin and photographer) and her midwives (the awesome team at Canopy). 

Colleen rushed over and Krysta got into traffic herself, the team arriving as I was furiously blowing up the birth pool for Kat to get more comfortable in.

​With everyone realizing Kat was seeming like she was progressing steadily and rapidly, Colleen gave us the confirmation that we were close to being able to push. Transferring into the birth pool with more room, I gave Kat hip squeezes as she opened and roared powerfully. Kenji staying close by with cold compresses, and such loving words. And Krysta swiftly and so silently, photographing every phenomenal moment.

With a loader and more guttural roar than before, me and Colleen gave each other a look - we know that sound. Kat's body started pushing and taking her over into the next phase. Her amniotic sac emerging, and repeated deep strength into her pushes. Making sure to lean back, and take her breaks when they came.

If you are ever in need of a photographer, please do check out Krysta Shore - we absolutely love her! She melts into the background and still manages to get "the shot". Following your flow, energy and birth, what more could you want?
