Naomi Hull, RN, MPH (Nutrition), Cert IV Breastfeeding Education (Counselling), International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). 

Hi, I am Naomi and have been working with women and their families for over two decades in the Ashgrove area and have been an IBCLC since 2010. I have two kids who are now young adults, a Rhodesian Ridgeback and 7 chickens. I believe all women and their families deserve to have the support they need and access to evidence-based correct information. 

When I was a new mum myself, I discovered that having information from a consistent and trusted source made all the difference. Which is why I love meeting women when they are still pregnant to check they have the information they need to get off to a great start. 

I am committed to help breastfeeding mums solve any issues they may be having, whether it is sore nipples/breasts, introduction of solids, unsettled babies, returning to work, or positioning and attachment, and more. With the myriad of information out there, you might even want to just check in and get reassurance that everything is on the right track.

I am available Monday – Thursday in the clinic. Online consults can be arranged after an initial consultation.
