OUR TEAM
JORDANA EDWARDS
Hi, I'm Jordana, CEO and Founder of The Breastfeeding Tea Co.
Hi, I’m Amanda, our in-house Naturopath with over 20 years’ experience as a Naturopath and Medical Herbalist, and I’m Jordana’s Mum!
After my first visit to a naturopath about 25 years ago, I knew this was something I had to know more about. After three years of full-time study and winning the Best Overall Naturopath Award, I began to practice in the profession I still love and believe in with a passion. Over the next twenty years, I worked hard to develop a high level of knowledge in the naturopathic field and to maintain the highest standard of care.
I have had my own practice during that time but have also been privileged to work alongside other experienced practitioners, including doctors. Much of my focus and interest has been on the health of the digestive tract (gut) – the old saying “your health begins in the gut” is so true. Your gut influences every aspect of your health and when everything in that area is balanced and healthy, you feel so good and over time, notice other health problems start to drop away.
Stress and stress management, depression and anxiety, hormonal imbalances, immune system problems, pain management and cardiovascular problems are other areas in which I have worked extensively.

RENE SANDEMAN
Hi, I’m Rene. I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Midwife and Breastfeeding Counsellor.
Whilst working with families as a midwife, I realised I was so passionate about the importance of breastfeeding and how difficult it can be for some mothers and babies, and have since had the honour of working with a vast amount of families over the years, to help them overcome the many different challenges breastfeeding can present. My experience ranges from antenatal education and expressing, through to all other aspects of breastfeeding issues such as damaged nipples, engorgement, low supply, low weight gain, oversupply, nipple shields, tongue tie, mastitis, blocked ducts, vasospasm, blebs, thrush, breast refusal, re-lactation and the list goes on!
Personally, I have been lucky enough to have breastfed all six of my wonderful children, each one unique. My goal in life is to use both my experience as a mother, volunteer and health professional to educate, promote and support mothers breastfeeding one, two or more babies at the same time. I love my work and find it so very rewarding helping a mother and her baby share a positive breastfeeding journey together. Visit Rene's website or Facebook page
DR PETRA WATSON, B.Chiro DACCP
Hi, my name is Dr Petra and I am a Chiropractor and mother to one beautiful daughter. My husband and I run an vibrant and wholistic family practice in Pottsville, northern NSW. Much of my clinical focus is on pregnancy and paediatrics, and I am one of a few Chiropractors to have completed the Australian College of Chiropractic Paediatric Diplomate (DACCP).
My passion for maternity and paediatric based care began during my own pregnancy in 2013. Within one month, I had become a new mother, a recently graduated chiropractor and had just moved back to Australia from New Zealand. Navigating the beginning of my career, while battling my own breastfeeding difficulties, it became apparent to me how crucial it is to support women through their pre and post natal journey — physically, biochemically and emotionally.
Breastfeeding, albeit, an amazing, natural process between a mother and her newborn, can be a challenging one. My objective is to assist both mother and newborn to ensure that this often difficult process can be as easy as possible.
