Zen Bub - Breastfeeding, sleep and settling, early parenting consultant

At Zen Bub, we understand that breastfeeding and parenting is a tough gig. And we believe it is much more enjoyable if played as a team sport! Our aim is to support you to achieve your breastfeeding or sleep goals so you can live your best parenting life!

We’re passionate about helping mums feel empowered in their skills, knowledge and parenting choices. We apply the latest evidence based research to our individually crafted holistic care plans which aim to complement your own parenting expertise.

We offer a range of services and can provide bespoke packages on request. Consultations are offered in the comfort and convenience of your own home. Standard COVID risk precautions and appropriate health PPE will be offered at your appointment.

We are located in Bangalow, within the Byron hinterland and hope to reach as many families across the northern rivers, north coast of NSW, and southern Gold Coast areas as possible. We are happy to travel to areas further afield such as Brisbane and Gold Coast metro areas and beyond, however this may incur a reasonable travel fee. Please ask us if you are unsure. Virtual consults can also be arranged on request.
