A short introduction after years of being in this space.
This is me - Anne. A german midwife and IBCLC lactation consultant in private practice living in Canberra/Australia.
I have supported thousands of families in my career since 1994 and am observing an increasing sense of loneliness in new Mums and families. The feeling of overwhelm and struggle in a world that is fast paced and information over abundant.
This place is for YOU. I hold space, post content about topics I come across everyday and create content to answer questions.
And amidst the seriousness and struggle, maybe we can have a little laugh too occasionally?

From Anne, director of @evolvemidwiferyservices

♻️We have been accepting and donating breast pumps as a way to support Mums in need and also allow a positive “pay it forward” mentality in our community of Mums 🤰🏽🤱🏻🤰🏼🤰🏿🤱🏽

When donating a pump remember that we are busy, caring people and any pump that is not clean, not functional will sadly end in the bin as we cannot ensure the quality is safe for another Mum to use.

🙏🏻Saying that we are grateful for all donations over the years and especially happy to have helped Mums out with a pump when needed and breastmilk bags also to the mums who donated their time and milk so others could benefit. ♥️

So if you live in ACT or surrounds, have a clean, functioning pump that you no longer need- please reach out via DM- drop off to my clinic in Deakin is the preferred method of getting the pump to us due to logistics.

Love-comment-share-save for later.

Anne

Being a #midwife …..
One of the greatest blessings of my life. Being invited to the most vulnerable journeys, witnessing families being born, I never take this for granted. Listening, sitting, holding space. I hold a deep gratitude for a life already filled to the brim with purpose and blessings. #ibclc #ibclclactationconsultant #midwife #evolvemidwiferyservices taken in Australia by @evolve_midwifery

This was me….the happy cheerful chatterbox who often was told that I talked „ a lot“…..well, guess what , #thegirlwhowastoomuch did not stop talking and I did not stop listening, as stories are my life- as a #Midwife and #IBCLCLactationConsultant. I still love seeing the stories of early parenting unfold and see the miracle that every baby is evolve.
Always in your corner.

In Episode 13, I speak with Anne Endres (@evolve_midwifery), Canberra midwife and IBCLC lactation consultant. Anne has supported many women across Canberra in their feeding challenges and is widely considered a bit of a "boob whisperer".

Anne looks beyond the latch and sees the whole woman. We talk about why feeding is so emotionally loaded, the reasons breastfeeding can get hard, how Anne supports women through it, and what you can do before birth to prepare for your own feeding journey.

Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, or find the link in bio.

Saturday I spend some time with Parris from the podcast @thewomenwhoguidedme . All I can say is that with some kindred spirits chatting is effortless. We discussed many things about #breastfeeding, #mothering, #matrescence and yes- I may have been emotional at times.
One of the questions she asked me was why would people seek my support- what would be common reasons to seek out a private #IBCLC #Lactation Consultant. Listen in to find out more.
You are never alone- keep walking Mumma. You can do hard things and you know when you need to change plans. with love from Anne taken in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory by @evolve_midwifery

🌿 World Breastfeeding Week
Breastfeeding is often described as „natural.“
But natural doesn’t always mean easy.
For some families, breastfeeding begins gently. For others, it takes patience, support, tears, learning and time. And for some, despite every hope and every effort, the journey unfolds differently than expected.
This World Breastfeeding Week, I’d like to celebrate something bigger than breastfeeding itself.
✨ The parents who keep showing up.
✨ The babies who teach us to slow down and listen.
✨ The quiet moments of connection that can’t be measured in minutes or millilitres.
As a midwife and IBCLC, I’ve learnt that there is no single „right“ breastfeeding journey.
There is only your journey.
My role has never been to tell families what they should do.
It is to provide evidence-based information, create a safe space for questions, support informed decisions, and walk alongside you as your confidence grows.
Whether you’re preparing during pregnancy, navigating the early weeks, feeding a toddler, returning to work, mixed feeding, expressing, overcoming challenges, or gently bringing your breastfeeding journey to a close—you deserve care that is free from judgement and full of compassion.
This week, let’s celebrate every family who is doing their best.
Because when parents feel supported, informed and heard, everyone benefits.
Happy World Breastfeeding Week. 💛
