Nurture & Nourish

Niyati Patel Cribbins,
Lactation Consultant &
Pediatric Occupational Therapist 

About Me

This is your unique journey and I would love to be a part of it.

 

Hello I'm Niyati, a London-based Lactation Consultant and highly experienced Pediatric Occupational Therapist (OT).  I have over 20 years of experience as an OT working on the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and in the community working with children who have special needs and disabilities as well as premature infants, including twins and triplets.  


There is no doubt, at times, a parenting journey can be stressful and difficult.   I can help troubleshoot multiple problem areas, from breastfeeding to bottle feeding as well as weaning, dressing, bathing, sleeping and/or playing to help your days and nights be lighter and brighter.  I can also support you with motor skill development and interacting with your child to make the most of your time together.

​

I am passionate about walking alongside parents to offer an individualised and holistic approach to care for your young children. You are your child’s expert and I feel strongly about supporting parents with a family focused approach and evidence based advice. 

During this tumultuous yet joyful time in your life, I will offer essential support and help you navigate your nourishing and nurturing choices, whatever your family circumstances.  

​

I offer an accessible and affordable appointment structure, to make it easier to access my services. Appointments can be booked by the day or by the hour and can include  a review of your current circumstances, your routine, problem areas and concerns.  We can then move on to seek ways  to alleviate those sticking points, enabling you to embrace your role as a parent, build your confidence and enhance your time with your little one.

Testimonials

"Having a baby arrive 3 months early is a scary thing for any new mother, and trying to breastfeed on top of that was a long emotional journey. Niyati provided me and my baby with so much practical advice and emotional support during our long time in hospital. She was calm, knowledgeable, reassuring and positive, and enabled me and my baby to confidently breastfeed after nearly three months of tube feeding."
