Breastfeeding Support Groups, Podcasts & Events in West Sussex
Rooted in the Community
Community has always been at the heart of what I do. I believe that no parent should navigate the challenges and joys of feeding their baby in isolation, and that some of the most powerful support happens not just in a one-to-one session but in a room full of people who truly understand what you are going through. Showing up in spaces where parents gather, share, and find their people is something I feel genuinely privileged to do, and it is as much a part of who I am as the work I do with individual families. Whether you find me at a local group, on a podcast, or at an event, my hope is always the same: that you leave feeling a little less alone and a little more supported in your journey.
In Person | Local Groups
The Milk Spot Breastfeeding Group
Every Monday from 10am to 12pm at Graylingwell Chapel in Chichester, the Milk Spot is a free, welcoming drop-in breastfeeding group where parents can come along for support, connection and conversation. The group runs throughout the year with the exception of bank holidays, so whether you are a few days postpartum or further along in your feeding journey, there is always a place for you here. I volunteer at the Milk Spot because I believe that community support is one of the most powerful things a new parent can access, and I would love to see you there.
The Village West Sussex
The Village is a parenthood gathering that takes place every Wednesday from 10am to 12pm at Graylingwell Chapel in Chichester, running throughout the year including school holidays. Co-run with a wonderful group of fellow birth workers, it is a space for parents to come together, share experiences, and feel less alone in the beautiful and sometimes overwhelming world of parenthood. Whether you are brand new to parenthood or navigating the toddler years, The Village is here to hold you.
Podcasts
Postpartum Prep Podcast with Ceridwen
I have had the pleasure of joining Ceridwen on the Postpartum Prep Podcast twice, and both conversations sit very close to my heart. In Episode 37, The Missing Piece in Breastfeeding Prep, we explored the emotional, mental and relational side of preparing to breastfeed, including breastfeeding grief and trauma, the mind-body connection, and how partners can play a meaningful role in the feeding journey. In Episode 38, Postpartum Anxiety and Stress Relief, we moved into the postnatal period with a gentle, grounding conversation on calming techniques, nervous system regulation, and simple mindfulness practices you can use even while holding your baby. Both episodes are available to listen to on Spotify via the links below.
Milk, Mayhem & Madness Podcast With Chloe
I joined the Milk, Mayhem and Madness podcast with Chloe from Nos Da Baboon for an open-hearted and honest conversation about my own journey, including my experience with mental health, how my path into becoming a Mindful Breastfeeding Practitioner began, and some of the stories and themes that have shaped my work with families. It is one of the more personal conversations I have shared publicly and I hope it resonates with anyone who has ever felt that their experience deserved to be spoken about more honestly. You can listen on Spotify via the link below.
Talks & Q&As
I am passionate about taking breastfeeding and postnatal support into the spaces where parents already gather, and I have had the privilege of being invited to speak, answer questions and hold space at some wonderful local events and classes. I have joined Basking Babies Portsmouth and Little Lemurs in Chichester for breastfeeding Q&A sessions, bringing relaxed and informative conversation into the groups where parents already feel at home. I also held a Circle as part of The Village West Sussex, an in-person gathering at Graylingwell Chapel in Chichester exploring the impact of breastfeeding on relationships and how mindfulness can support you through that experience, a conversation that felt both necessary and long overdue. Events and gatherings like these are close to my heart because they create space for the kind of honest, open dialogue that parents rarely get the opportunity to have, and I hope to host and contribute to many more in the future. If you run a parent and baby group, class or event and think your community would benefit from a breastfeeding Q&A, talk or circle, please do get in touch.
