I was so excited to book Niamh as a guest on my podcast because of her depth of knowledge in both lactation and social care work, and she was amazing! Niamh was flexible with scheduling, prompt and prepared on the day of, and just a joy to interview. Best of all, Niamh gave thoughtful answers to my questions in a conversational and relaxed way that my podcast audience loved. I highly encourage you to book Niamh for your show!

“In late 2021, Niamh was invited to speak to our employees about breastfeeding (and available supports) as part of our employee support network. In preparing for the seminar, Niamh was very keen to understand the particular requirements of the our employees so as to be as inclusive and supportive as possible. We were provided with a copy of the presentation in advance, to ensure it met the needs of attendees and aligned with the goals of the workshop. Niamh’s style of communication is very gentle and kind, while at the same time imparting her considerable knowledge and experience in a clear way. Niamh enabled us to offer a highly informative and positive seminar about breastfeeding, which we hope to include on a more regular basis, as a valuable resource for employees.”

"I want to say a big big thank you for presenting tonight. I know it is a huge subject, and I loved your focus from in-utero baby to new life, and the extensive role of Oxytocin, plus the take home message of skin-to-skin care."

"Portlaoise Community & FRC highly recommend any individual or group to have Niamh Cassidy from My Baby Beginnings to facilitate a session with them prior to babies arrival. Many of the mums on our group zoom session were first time mums to be an very nervous. All gave feedback stating that they felt more informed, in control and relaxed after participating in the session. Niamh provided very good handouts and links that were relevant for the mums to be. The zoom session worked really well during these COVID time but I think it would work well in the future too as it takes away travelling time and expenses after a days work for expectant mums. Niamh set the tone well, making it a safe place for participants to ask questions and interact throughout the session. As organiser of the session, I found communication with Niamh very clear and efficient."

Before I did this course I had wasted a lot of time online trying to figure out how to set up a small business in Ireland and I was unsure of what I needed to do. The course was so easy to follow, straight to the point with room for our questions. After the course I felt confident in moving forward with my business and had some concrete tasks to do. I would recommend anyone in Ireland who needs to set up a small business to do this clear and concise course.

Mother Support, Counseling, & Vicarious Trauma in Lactation Care with Niamh Cassidy, MA, IBCLC

Episode description:

Join me for a conversation with Irish IBCLC and antenatal educator Niamh Cassidy of MyBabyBeginnings. We're discussing mother support groups, building counseling skills, vicarious trauma as it relates to lactation work, and so much more. With a background in social work from her pre-lactation days, Niamh brings a sense of order to what lactation counseling requires and a gentle but firm reminder of what can happen when we don't prepare ourselves to manage vicarious trauma experienced in our line of work.
