About Tors Pearcy, IBCLC

WHY I’M WELL PLACED TO SUPPORT YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY

When I first became a mum, I desperately wanted to breastfeed—but I struggled. My nipples bled, and despite using shields, every feed felt painful and overwhelming. That’s when I discovered an incredible midwife who, in her own time, supported new parents through breastfeeding. Her kindness and expertise changed everything for me.

That experience ignited a desire to “pay it forward,” so in 2014 I began volunteering on my local maternity ward. Within a few years I became a qualified Peer Supporter (2017) and then a Breastfeeding Counsellor (2018) with the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers, also helping out on the National Breastfeeding Helpline UK. I co-ran Carmarthen’s Llaeth Mam Breastfeeding Group, expanding our in-person gatherings and growing an online community that offered real-time support.

Then 2020 hit. Overnight, our in-person meetings stopped—but our Facebook group exploded. It was clear that parents everywhere needed specialist support more than ever.

Determined to help on a larger scale, I embarked on the most rigorous lactation qualification available worldwide: the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

To earn my IBCLC credential, I completed 14 health-science courses, 95 hours of lactation-specific education, and documented over 1,000 hours of clinical support. In July 2021, I was thrilled to learn I’d passed the four-hour exam with a score above 90%—one of the proudest moments of my life.

I now offer one-to-one specialist support as an Infant Feeding Specialist and IBCLC—and I’ve branched out to include tailored bottle-feeding consultations and holistic sleep coaching, too.

Every day I draw on my personal journey and clinical training to provide judgement-free, evidence-based care. My mission is simple: to empower you with practical strategies, heartfelt encouragement and the confidence to feed and care for your baby exactly the way you want.
