Rhiannon Kelly

What is your name and role at MAMA?

My name is Rhiannon and I work as a lactation consultant (IBCLC) here at MAMA.

What inspired you to work at MAMA?

I actually started working at MAMA as a second midwife supporting the primary midwives while also working towards getting my IBCLC qualification. I now work as a lactation consultant here as that is what I feel called to do at this time. When I became a mother myself, I received incredible care as a client of MAMA and it was an obvious choice to continue working with such an amazing team.

What are you passionate about at MAMA?

I absolutely love how well-rounded the services are here at MAMA are for women and their families. There is a strong sense of community and focus on providing holistic, individualised care.

What are your favourite things at MAMA?

I especially love facilitating some of the free feeding drop-in sessions that run twice weekly, they are such a great opportunity for women to seek some general advice and support from an IBCLC and meet other mothers. Hearing about MAMA offering this free service was one of the things that originally drew me to work here.

Where would we find you outside of MAMA?

You would usually find me spending time with my Husband and son. We are animal people so we love appreciating the beautiful wildlife around us. If I have moments to myself, you might find me crocheting, reading, playing video games or weightlifting.
