Families come to me when feeding has begun to dominate daily life. When the bottle is met with resistance. When distress becomes woven into every feed. When confidence thins and instinct no longer feels like enough.
My work centres on bottle aversion and feeding distress - the point at which feeding becomes guarded, protective, and emotionally charged. This is precise, delicate work. It sits at the intersection of physiology, regulation, skill, and relationship.
Over years of clinical practice, one truth became impossible to ignore: feeding shifts when safety, capacity, and trust are restored at the point of feeding itself.
From that work, I developed the Calm Bottle Method™ a signature framework shaped through years of close clinical work with babies experiencing bottle aversion and feeding distress.

From that work, I developed the Calm Bottle Method™ a signature framework shaped through years of close clinical work with babies experiencing bottle aversion and feeding distress.
The Calm Bottle Method™ is the method I developed from all these years in clinical practice and the latest evidence base; it’s the framework that underpins all of my work with bottle aversion and feeding distress.
It was shaped through direct clinical practice and the evolving evidence base. It reflects the patterns, protective behaviours, and shifts I have observed repeatedly in babies whose feeding became guarded after painful, overwhelming, or dysregulated early experiences.
Rather than challenging refusal directly, the Calm Bottle Method™ reshapes the feeding experience itself so that safety, predictability, and capacity return together.
The method weaves together:
• Feeding mechanics and pacing
• Nervous system regulation
• Trust between baby and parent
• The emotional environment surrounding feeds
• The physical realities of how a baby feeds
This is a relational, physiological, and developmental method that allows feeding to reorganise at its core so resolution can form.
