Lucy lives in Weymouth with her husband and 2 boys, who are 2 and 4 years old. Both of Lucy’s sons were born at Dorset County Hospital following induction of labour, her second delivered by emergency C-section. Lucy trained as a peer supporter in 2013 and went on to certify as an IBCLC Lactation Consultant in June 2018. Her passion for supporting women came from her early experiences of motherhood where she learnt first hand how important it was to feel valued and listened to as a new mum. Before moving into breastfeeding support Lucy worked for Sure Start Children’s as an activity worker for nearly 7 years, and before that she worked in a preschool and trained in early years.
