Welcome to The Confident Mother with Sherry Bevan
I know how it feels to be overwhelmed with expectations and responsibility when you become a parent. To experience pain and guilt when this is supposed to be the most joyful time in your life.
And I get how feeling like that affects your confidence and self-belief.
I expected to be filled with love and joy after the birth of my first daughter. Instead I faced overwhelmingly dark times as I battled with postnatal depression.
When I spotted an advert in a mother and baby magazine that the Department of Health was offering grants to train breastfeeding counsellors, I applied straight away.
I eventually qualified in 2010 with the University of Bedfordshire. I had found my calling! I spent 4 years part-time in the NHS as a breastfeeding counsellor, alongside my career in technology, working 6 days a week to fit it all in!
In 2012, I took a leap of faith, quit my highly paid IT job and set up my independent practice so I could help more parents.
Would you like my help?
If you’re struggling to feed your baby with confidence and ease, I’m here to support you, no matter where you are on your feeding journey. Whether you’re breastfeeding, expressing, formula feeding or doing a combination.
Before your baby is born, I offer antenatal consultations on Zoom, antenatal classes in person and online breastfeeding refresher classes.
Postnatally, after your baby is born, I offer postnatal support calls on Zoom which are free and available no matter where you are in the world.
If you're local to me in London Borough of Bromley, I offer confidential home visits.
Plus I’m available every week at Baby Cafe Bromley which is a free drop-in service.
