A Journey Still Being Lived
Adele’s passion for breastfeeding support is deeply personal.
She became a mother in 2022 and is still breastfeeding her daughter, living daily inside the realities, emotions, and complexities that come with it.
Through her own experience, she saw just how often families are failed by antenatal and postnatal care.
Support is limited.
Information is fragmented.
And emotional care is often missing entirely.
This gap is what motivates Adele most.
She believes families should be encouraged to prioritise support over stuff during pregnancy and postpartum because no amount of equipment can replace informed, compassionate guidance.
Acknowledging the Emotional Landscape
Adele’s work extends far beyond technique.
She is deeply committed to supporting those experiencing breastfeeding grief and trauma, conversations that are often overlooked or minimised.
She also shines a light on paternal mental health and the vital role partners play in supporting women during matrescence.
Her approach is holistic and mindful, recognising that feeding journeys are emotional, relational, and deeply personal.
Every experience deserves to be acknowledged.
Every story deserves care.
Building a Business While Holding a Baby
Like many women building heart-led businesses, Adele has been doing so with very little financial backup while also being a stay-at-home mother.
Running her practice means being everything: accountant, marketer, content creator, networker, and website builder all while learning these roles in real time.
Without the structure of a traditional workplace, accountability and deadlines can feel especially challenging.
Comparison creeps in easily, particularly when watching others in the same field grow faster or more visibly.
Still, Adele keeps going.
Learning.
Showing up.
Visibility, Doubt, and the Balancing Act
Right now, Adele’s biggest challenge is visibility.
She knows there is a need for her work, families want and deserve this kind of support but reaching her ideal clients through marketing, SEO, and website creation feels like a steep learning curve.
Balancing business growth alongside home life is a constant negotiation.
And alongside it all, self-doubt and procrastination sometimes show up hand in hand, amplified by perfectionism that both fuels her passion and slows her progress.
Yet even in the overwhelm, Adele feels the pull of possibility.
This business matters.
And she knows she is the one who can build it.
Support as a Form of Care
At the heart of Adele’s work is a simple truth: breastfeeding support is not a luxury.
It is essential care.
Through mindful guidance, emotional presence, and deep respect for each family’s journey, Adele helps parents move through feeding with confidence, connection, and compassion ,whatever that journey looks like.
At Reignelle, we honour women like Adele: those who hold space where systems fall short, who lead with gentleness and courage, and who build meaningful work one mindful step at a time.
Because when parents are supported, truly supported, it changes everything.
