About Me
I am a Brazilian feeding specialist who left my home country over eight years ago in search of new adventures.
I graduated more than a decade ago and certified as a lactation consultant after moving overseas.
Now based in Northern Ireland, UK, I offer consultations online across the Emerald Isle, through home visits, and in-clinic in Malahide.
I enjoy cooking, reading, and walking (when the weather allows!) - and thankfully, I love driving. If I could, I’d travel the world by car.
As an IBCLC and nutritionist, I advocate for breast milk as the optimal first food while supporting all feeding journeys, including those who can’t or choose not to breastfeed.
PERSONAL
Since graduating, I have gained experience in diverse clinical settings, which has broadened my perspective and approach. I have worked in hospitals, community health centres, and private clinics, specialising in paediatrics and mental health as a nutritionist. I am also a researcher in the field of infant feeding, continually exploring ways to improve lactation and nutritional care for families.
From preemies to teenagers, I have been helping families to feed their children and overcome various challenges related to milk and food intake.
After becoming a certified IBCLC, I began offering private breastfeeding consultations and continuously update my knowledge through specialized courses and conferences. I am also a member of the Association of Lactation Consultants in Ireland.
