Catherine Holmes
I first trained as a peer supporter in 2014 with my local service, and started volunteering with them as regularly as childcare arrangements permitted, as well as giving support online. When my son started nursery and I had a little more time, I retrained with the ABM as a Mother Supporter and then as a Breastfeeding Counsellor. I now do a combination of face-to-face and online support as well as regular sessions on the national breastfeeding helpline.
