Hello, my name is Debbie

I am a Rural Generalist GP, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and mother of four in South West Victoria.

​

I believe that rural families deserve quality, caring postnatal care whatever their postcode. My goal is to provide holistic, respectful, evidence-based care that is in alignment with your values and goals.
