Hi i'm Kate
I am a qualified Speech Pathologist & International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.
My Story
Since graduating I have worked in many different locations including in the city and rural locations. My work has led me in many directions and I have been fortunate enough to gain a large skill set in both adult and paediatric settings.
I re-located to Port Macquarie in 2019 where I enjoy spending time with my family and friends soaking up some sunshine going on hikes and to the beach. There is also nothing quite like a sunset picnic!
My true passion and focus is working in the paediatric feeding space. The joy of helping families in challenging times, particularly with newborns is a precious privilege within my work. I work with breastfeeding clients, nasogastric tube weaning, oral aversion, paediatric feeding disorder and ARFID clients. I also have extensive experience with paediatric speech and language.

- Board Certified Lactation Consultant
- MSPA (Member of Speech Pathology Australia) & CPSP (Certified Practicing Speech Pathologist)
- Responsive feeding- Feeding Therapy Australia
