Orla provided so much advice in our 30 minute consultation. I felt I could ask any question and Orla was very positive and open to my previous experience and giving such useful advice for our next arrival. I would strongly reccomend Orla for a refresher call or certainly for first time mums also to help planning their breastfeeding journey.

I first came across Orla on Instagram and immediately found her so likeable and relatable. I messaged her a few times before booking a consultation, and she was always so helpful, kind and personal in her replies — which really stood out to me. After working with her, I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is so understanding, non-judgemental and genuinely supportive of whatever your feeding journey looks like- mine was pumping for twins. I particularly love that she encourages every effort, no matter how big or small. Sometimes breastfeeding support can unintentionally feel a little “all or nothing”, with a strong focus on one particular approach. Orla is the complete opposite. She recognises that every mother and baby is different and helps you find what works for you, without ever making you feel like you haven’t done enough. She combines so much knowledge with genuine warmth and compassion, and I always came away feeling encouraged rather than overwhelmed. I’m so grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a lactation consultant.

I couldn’t recommend Orla enough to any new or potential mums. I completed an online consultation with Orla and she was so patient, professional and knowledgable. After our session I felt full of confidence and was delighted with the care plan that Orla sent over shortly afterwards.
