Cordelia Uys
NCT BFC
NCT-trained Breastfeeding Counsellor offering infant feeding support in Northwest London
I began my working life as a journalist, but after the births of my three children, I developed a fascination for all things birth and breastfeeding related and decided to train first as a birth doula and then as an NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor. My husband and I have lived in Queen’s Park, London for 26 years.
I regularly attend conferences and courses on breastfeeding, infant nutrition and child development, to keep myself up to date with new research. I am fluent in French and Italian.
I’m a founding member of NWL Breastfeeding, a private Facebook group for London-based breastfeeding mothers. We now have over 2900 members.
I found breastfeeding my three boys, who are now grown-up, very fulfilling, and I love helping other women have a positive experience of breastfeeding.
I offer antenatal breastfeeding preparation, home visits for breastfeeding support, introducing solids workshops and parenting classes.

Reviews
“Cordelia – you made my transition to motherhood so much easier; you are very gifted and we will be forever grateful for your time, energy, gentle approach, endless knowledge and above all, your passion for the special bond between mother and baby”
“It is no exaggeration to say that Cordelia has saved the sanity of many women, who desperately wanted to breastfeed but were having significant difficulties. Using a calm, compassionate and evidence-based approach, Cordelia tailors the approach to the family and the child and she has a remarkable success rate.”
“Truly, without Cordelia me and my growing family would not be as healthy or happy as we are today. She supports and wisely guides mothers at their most vulnerable moments so they can weather any storm. We would be lost without her breastfeeding knowledge, guidance and support. She is the most loving and genuine woman as well. Making her a truly unique and special person and volunteer.”
