About Pinky

As an author, speaker and Lactation Consultant with over 40 years’ experience supporting families, I’ve dedicated my life to helping mothers navigate the beautiful — and sometimes challenging — journey of breastfeeding and early parenting. I’m deeply passionate about empowering women to trust their instincts and respond confidently to their babies.

I’m a TEDx and international keynote speaker, presenting across Australia, the US and New Zealand, and the proud author of four best-selling books published by Penguin Random House, including Parenting by Heart, Sleeping Like a Baby and Toddler Tactics. I also host webinars and podcasts supporting parents and professionals worldwide.

As the founder and creator of an award-winning range of natural and organic foods designed to nourish breastfeeding mothers, I’m also an internationally award winning  businesswoman and mentor. Through my Business Bootcamp for Lactation and Postnatal Professionals, I help passionate practitioners build thriving private practices with integrity and impact.

As a mother of five and grandmother of six, I bring not only professional expertise but deep real-world experience. My approach is honest, practical and grounded — cutting through the noise and unnecessary pressure, keeping things simple, and always allowing room for humour (because without a few laughs, motherhood can have you rocking in a corner, crying ugly tears).
