Mindful Breastfeeding was created by Anna Le Grange, who is an established lactation consultant with over 17 years experience working with families
I created this Antenatal Breastfeeding Workshop as I have seen so many families struggle with breastfeeding over the years I have been supporting parents. So many Breastfeeding Mums will say “if only I had known before” or “I wish someone had told me that”. There is SO much you can learn in advance to protect your Breastfeeding journey and make it easier to navigate, Knowledge is power, information is key and support is essential. It takes a village, although breastfeeding is the most natural way to feed your baby it’s not always the easiest. It’s a skill that you and your baby will learn over time. My 1-2-1 Breastfeeding Course provides you with emotional, practical and physical tools to use, alongside evidence, information and great resources. It is ideal to book this workshop in the later stages of your pregnancy

To book your private one to one Mindful Breastfeeding Workshop, please contact me direct to arrange dates and times that suits you, either via e mail, message or phone. Daytime, evening and weekend bookings are available. This course is offered online so you can relax in the comfort of your own home. Once your payment has been made and your sessions are booked in the diary I will send out your registration forms course materials in the post
Inclusions:
> 4 hours of 1-2-1 education with me, an experienced breastfeeding educator and Mindful Breastfeeding Practitioner. These 4 hours are spilt over 2 sessions (2 hours each session). Please ask your partner/husband/support person to join you as support with breastfeeding is important. You are also very welcome to attend sessions alone if your partner is unavailable or if you are a single parent. It’s ideal to space your sessions at least a week apart so that you have time to digest everything you learnt and can come back with questions. If time is short don’t worry, we can book the sessions close together
> The Lemon Tree Breastfeeding Workbook. This includes everything you will learn with me during the Breastfeeding Workshop, containing plenty of resources, information, activities and more. Your Breastfeeding Workbook will be helpful in the early days when you might want to recap on topics such as latch, nappy output, troubleshooting etc
> Ongoing links and videos via whatsapp until your baby arrives
> Relaxation and audio tracks to support you on your journey
A 1-2-1 workshop gives you the chance and space to explore breastfeeding in depth with plenty of time to ask any questions and plan your journey. We can focus on specific areas or topics that are important to you and by working 1-2-1 you can book at a convenient time that suits you if you need to work around work/family life.

Mindful Breastfeeding Workshop Testimonials
The learning environment along with the course content exceeded our expectations
Rebecca & Matt | First baby
“We’ve been lucky enough to attend both The Lemon Tree’s Hypnobirthing & Breastfeeding Classes and they have all been amazing. Being first time parents is really daunting but Laura put us both completely at ease and provided us with the tools we needed to feel confident. The learning environment along with the course content exceeded our expectations and we both learnt a lot more than we thought we would. Having Laura to contact outside of class is also fantastic and she has been a great support to us when we had any questions or concerns, especially after midwife/hospital appointments. We would both highly recommend the workshops and can’t thank Laura enough :-)”
Surrey
This workshop is absolutely essential
Emma | First Time Mum & Midwife
“As a midwife I was unsure whether this breastfeeding workshop would be beneficial or not as I already have significant knowledge on breastfeeding. However, it was delivered so well and was a great refresher for me that it was totally worth it. To someone wanting more knowledge this workshop would be absoloutely essential to them and their partner. I cannot recommend this breastfeeding workshop enough. P.S. – Laura is also so lovely and approachable”
Lingfield
Lots of time to ask questions & no bias opinions
Emma & Alex | Expecting their first baby
“Another really useful course from The Lemon Tree in a friendly relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Lots of time to ask any questions with no bias opinions and always lots of options given with time and space to think/explore. I was more apprehensive about breastfeeding than birth due to so many negative stories and comments but Laura’s workshop really dispelled all of these and made it all seem possible. The mindfulness aspect of the workshop was so useful and a strong reminder that being relaxed is the best way to be and also look after YOU as part of the journey. Thank you”
Woldingham
The Lemon Tree Workshop was so much better than the NCT Course
Louise
“We started the workshop with zero idea of breastfeeding and have come away with so much information. More importantly the importance of breastfeeding and not to give up if there are challenges & where to find support. There was so much helpful information & support resources. I did the NCT breastfeeding workshop as well as part of our NCT course but The Lemon Tree workshop was so much better and so much more informative . Even learning about the anatomy of the breast, a baby’s mouth, how latching should be etc – something I found the most helpful that NCT didn’t even touch on”
