How I can help you feed your baby

Most families come to me for breastfeeding support. Here's where I help most often — and my nutrition background is there whenever you need it.

Breastfeeding & latch support

Painful feeds, a fussy latch, low or oversupply, blocked ducts or mastitis — we sort out what's happening and make feeding comfortable again.

Prenatal breastfeeding prep

Get ready before baby arrives. Learn what to expect in the early days and how to set yourself up for a confident start.

Returning to work & pumping

A practical plan for pumping, storing milk and keeping your supply going as you head back to work.

Nutrition support, when you need it

As a registered dietitian I can also help with maternal nutrition, introducing solids and family eating — feeding and food advice from one person who knows your story.

In-home visits

Hands-on support where you and baby are most comfortable, across Somerset West, Strand, Gordon's Bay and the Helderberg.

Virtual consultations

Expert guidance from anywhere — ideal for prenatal prep, quick questions and follow-ups.

“Roxy is such a beautiful soul. She truly cares. Thanks to her I breastfed my firstborn for 18 months. Then my second was born prem with complications, and she was there every step of the way — for my concerns about his feeds in ICU, and emotionally too. I am forever grateful. You were part of my village.”

Common questions

When should I see a lactation consultant?

Any time feeding feels hard — painful latch, worries about milk supply, a baby who isn't settling or gaining well, or before baby arrives if you'd like to feel prepared. The earlier we work together, the easier most challenges are to solve.

Do you come to my home?

Yes. I offer in-home visits across Somerset West, Strand, Gordon's Bay and the wider Helderberg, so you and your baby stay comfortable. Virtual consultations are available too, wherever you are.

Are you a registered professional?

I'm a SACLC-certified lactation consultant and a registered dietitian, so feeding and nutrition guidance come from one trusted person. You'll receive an invoice you can submit to your medical aid for possible reimbursement.

What areas do you cover?

Somerset West, Strand, Gordon's Bay, Stellenbosch and the surrounding Helderberg for home visits, and anywhere in South Africa or beyond for virtual sessions.
