About

Gentle Guidance. Confident Beginnings.

Supporting you through one of life's most important transitions.

I'm Angie Epstein - a Registered Nurse with over 20 years' experience in Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU), paediatrics, and child and family health nursing across hospital, virtual and community settings. I'm also a Certified Infant Massage Instructor, and a proud mum of three beautiful adult children.

My current work as a Registered Nurse, Child & Family Health Nurse (CFHN) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) spans both community clinic care for families and Tresillian, a specialised family-centred residential service.

I feel privileged to support families through the transition into parenthood - a time that can be both joyful and overwhelming. My approach is compassionate, respectful, and non-judgmental, creating a space where you can feel heard, informed, and supported.

With a strong clinical background and a calm, reassuring style, I offer personalised care for breastfeeding and infant feeding, sleep and settling, and early parenting - always centred around your family's needs and goals.

Services

How I can work with you

Whether you're just getting started or navigating a specific challenge, there's a session designed for you.

15 min · Phone

Complimentary Intro Consultation

A short phone call to understand your situation, answer initial questions about the service, and make sure you're booked into the right kind of support. A chance to connect, clarify your goals, and feel confident about the next step.

Video call

Virtual Lactation Consultation

A personalised one-on-one video session where we assess feeding, positioning, latch, and any challenges you're experiencing. You'll leave with practical guidance, a clear plan, and ongoing strategies you can put into practice at home with confidence.

In person

Face-to-Face Lactation Consultation

An in-person consultation offering hands-on support with feeding — including latch, positioning, attachment, and a baby assessment. Ideal for more complex concerns or when physical guidance is helpful, with tailored advice and a clear, supportive plan.

Holistic Support

Adjusting to Parenting

A holistic, personalised session designed to support you through the early stages of parenthood. We go beyond feeding to cover your baby's whole routine — feeding, sleep, settling, and play — while building your confidence as a parent. With flexible timing to suit your needs, we explore what's working, what's not, and create a realistic, gentle plan that fits your baby and your lifestyle.
