…And everything inbetween. Breastfeeding can feel deeply instinctive and unexpectedly overwhelming at the same time.

Whether you’re pregnant and preparing to feed your baby or navigating challenges after birth and beyond, you deserve calm, compassionate support that meets you where you are.

At The Mindful Mama Mentor, I offer personalised breastfeeding support in West Sussex (and online worldwide) helping mothers feel confident, informed, empowered and emotionally supported throughout their feeding journey.

My approach blends practical breastfeeding guidance with mindfulness-based support, recognising that feeding a baby isn’t just physical it’s emotional too. From latch difficulties and feeding pain to anxiety, self-doubt or previous feeding experiences, there is space here for the full picture.

Whether breastfeeding feels straightforward, complex, joyful, heavy (or all of these at the same time). You don’t have to figure it out alone. Support isn’t a sign something is wrong or a failure, it is a neccesity to enable you and your baby to learn the skills required for a successful, pain-free feeding journey.

What Is Mindful Breastfeeding?

Present Moment Focus

Mindful breastfeeding encourages parents to be fully present during feeding, paying attention to their baby’s cues and their own bodily sensations.

Emotional Regulation

Mindful breastfeeding emphasizes the importance of managing stress and anxiety, which can negatively impact milk production and the parent-child connection.

Relaxation and Bonding

Mindful breastfeeding incorporates relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and guided visualizations, to promote calm and facilitate bonding.

Trust in Intuition

Mindful breastfeeding encourages parents to trust their instincts and make decisions based on their baby’s needs and their own comfort levels.

Holistic Approach

Mindful breastfeeding considers not just the physical aspects of breastfeeding but also the emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of the baby and breastfeeding parent.

"Adele is a very special kind of person. A giver in the true sense. She lightens up the room and gives her depth of knowledge and love freely, it is a wonderful thing. Adele really knows how to help me tap into my spiritual being - thank you!"

"Adele worked during our session to easily address all the issues and talk through the options I had. She quickly helped baby get a much better latch by making some small tweaks, enabling much less painful feeding almost immediately."

"From the very beginning and throughout our session Adele made me feel very at ease and comfortable, along with offering expert support and guidance. I felt in safe hands. It was such a positive experience and has helped my breastfeeding journey so much."

"I would highly recommend Adele to anyone looking for support during their breastfeeding journey. Her calm approach put me and my baby at ease, I felt listened to, and with her expert guidance has enabled me to continue breast feeding my son - pain free! I feel so lucky to have had Adele’s help, and would recommend to any mama."

"Since meeting with Adele I feel better equipped to deal with the emotional challenges of breastfeeding and through this I think I am more likely to meet my goal of breastfeeding until I choose to stop, rather than feeling like I have to stop like last time. I also feel confident that Adele is the right person to support me with my feeding journey when baby arrives, and it is making a huge difference to my anxiety knowing I have this wonderfully skilled woman in my corner!"

“We put so much effort in to preparing for baby - but what we often need as mothers is that investment in and support for ourselves. I would highly recommend Adele to anyone looking to feel empowered, held and supported as they prepare for their feeding experience with their baby. All my concerns were addressed and Adele went above and beyond my expectations, equipping me with techniques, knowledge and my ‘toolkit’ for breastfeeding. ”

“I cannot thank Adele enough for our work together, it has really changed my perspective on breastfeeding again. I wanted to try again but really felt quite frightened as I found it so challenging before, but with Adele’s support I know I am strong enough and have the tools I need to give me the best chances of success.”

“I had a bit of a tricky start to my breastfeeding journey due to my baby being poorly in her first few days of life. Adele was very helpful in guiding me through my concerns and made me feel heard and supported. Adele is full of knowledge and had some new ideas for me to try.”

“Adele has a beautiful, non-judgemental way of offering support around breastfeeding. What I admire most is her ability to meet each woman where she is, with compassion, practical knowledge and intuition. She understands that breastfeeding isn’t just about feeding; it’s about trust, bonding, nurture and emotional support. "

“Feeling empowered after attending my first circle with Adele, something totally out of my comfort zone. Truly inspiring and totally refreshing to be comforted with views that you thought may not be acceptable or ‘normal’ with other women going through breastfeeding journeys.”
