IBCLC Breastfeeding Support & Tongue Tie Assessments in Perth

Welcome to The Matrescence Nurse, where compassionate, evidence-based breastfeeding support and maternal care come together to guide you through the profound transition into motherhood, a journey known as matrescence. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Child Health Nurse and Oral Myofunctional Therapist based in Perth, I am dedicated to supporting and empowering families as they navigate the many changes and challenges that accompany this unique stage of life.

​

At The Matrescence Nurse, I recognise that motherhood is not simply a new role but a profound transformation encompassing physical, emotional and psychological growth. Whether you are seeking breastfeeding support, a tongue tie assessment, oral myofunctional therapy, infant massage or guidance with your baby's feeding and development, my goal is to provide compassionate, individualised care that helps you feel understood, supported and celebrated.

Whether you're preparing to welcome your first baby or growing your family, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Together, we'll work towards your goals through personalised care, evidence-based education and practical strategies tailored to your family's unique needs. My aim is not only to help overcome the challenges you may be facing today but to build your confidence, strengthen your connection with your baby and support your family's long-term wellbeing.

​

The name Matrescence reflects my philosophy that every mother's journey is unique. You deserve care that acknowledges your individual experience and provides a safe, nurturing space where you can ask questions, feel heard and make informed decisions with confidence. It is a privilege to support families across Perth through pregnancy, breastfeeding, early parenthood and beyond.

About Me

Hi! I'm Kim, Child Health Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and proud Mum to my two lovely daughters. With a passion for empowering and supporting women through the incredible journey of motherhood, I've had the privilege of helping families navigate the pivotal early years of their children's lives. From conducting comprehensive health assessments to offering invaluable parenting and breastfeeding advice, I've been there to support children's development from birth through their school-age years. As the founder of The Matrescence Nurse, I'm committed to providing comprehensive support and guidance to women embarking on this transformative journey of motherhood.

​

As an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant, I offer expert guidance to breastfeeding mothers, helping them navigate challenges and achieve their feeding goals. As a mother of two daughters, I deeply understand the joys and struggles that come with becoming a mum. This personal experience fuels my passion for empowering other women on their motherhood journey.

​

My passion for empowering women led me to create The Matrescence Nurse, a platform dedicated to the concept of matrescence—the transformative phase of becoming a mother. Understanding that this period can be as challenging as it is rewarding, I aim to provide the support and knowledge women need to thrive during this time.

​

In addition to my nursing and lactation consulting services, I am also a qualified Remedial Therapist. Initially a hobby, my passion for remedial therapy has grown into an integral part of my practice, allowing me to offer therapeutic treatments to women, including pregnant women, to help them manage the physical stresses of motherhood.

​

At The Matrescence Nurse, my goal is to guide women through the challenges of matrescence, ensuring they feel supported, understood, and empowered every step of the way.
