About me
Hello, I'm Esther.
I am the founder of Maternal and a London-trained, NMC-registered midwife and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), with over ten years of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. My background includes work across NHS maternity services, health visiting and enhanced infant feeding support, giving me a strong foundation in both clinical and community-based care.
I offer midwife-led, home-based support designed to complement NHS care, providing calm, personalised guidance during what can be a vulnerable and transformative time. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice, professional expertise and a deep respect for each family's individual journey.
Alongside my work as a midwife, I specialise in infant feeding support, offering thoughtful, non-judgemental guidance for breastfeeding, formula feeding and combination feeding. I believe families deserve time, clarity and compassionate support to make informed choices that feel right for them.
Support is available in English and Spanish.
What families say
Dad
London
"Before the birth I wasn't sure how to help my partner. Esther made everything clear and gave us practical advice. I felt more confident and involved, and it helped us both feel ready."
Mother of 1
Richmond
"Breastfeeding was always my plan, but after a forceps delivery my baby wouldn't attach properly. I had sore nipples, my baby was losing weight, and we had to supplement with formula. Esther came and gave us a few tips that really made the difference — and now things are going so well."
Parents of twins
Kingston
"With twins we were worried about how feeding would work. Esther showed us how to position them, how to tell if each baby was getting enough, and helped us create a plan that actually worked for our family. It was such a relief to have clear, calm support at home."
Mother of 1
London
"I was having milk supply issues and it was affecting my baby's growth. Esther helped me so much — my supply increased, and my daughter finally started to gain weight. We are so relieved and feel much more confident now."
Mother of 2
Twickenham
"After my c-section I felt I didn't have enough milk. I didn't see any colostrum, my baby was losing weight, and we had to give some formula. When Esther came, she showed me simple changes that made a huge difference. My baby started gaining, and I finally felt breastfeeding was working."
