Kia ora, I'm Anna and I trained as a breastfeeding peer supporter in Wakatipu three years ago. I was driven by a desire to better understand breastfeeding, connect with other mums, and gain peer support skills that I’ve found useful far beyond feeding. I am a mum of two with a heart for community, I juggle parenting with chairing the Wakatipu Toy Library and recently launched my own photography venture, Pop-in Portraits - Queenstown.
Peer Supporters are not medical professionals, but are volunteers trained to provide information and support through common challenges to the normal course of breastfeeding.
