Lactation Education Services

Supporting Your Breastfeeding Journey with Expert Guidance

Whether you're an expectant parent preparing for breastfeeding or currently nursing and looking for support, a Lactation Educator is here to guide you every step of the way. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge, resources, and confidence to make informed decisions about infant feeding that are right for you and your baby.

What is a Certified Lactation Professional?

A trained professional who provides education, encouragement, and support to individuals and families regarding breastfeeding and human lactation. While not a clinical provider like an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), a Certified Lactation Professional is a key resource for evidence-based information and early breastfeeding support.

How a Certified Lactation Professional Can Help:

Certified Lactation Professionals provide non-judgmental support tailored to your unique needs and goals. Services include:

Prenatal Education

• Preparing for breastfeeding before birth
• Understanding the benefits of breastfeeding
• Creating a breastfeeding plan
• Learning how the body makes milk
• Latching and positioning techniques
• Managing expectations for the early days

Postpartum Support

• Troubleshooting early breastfeeding challenges
• Supporting milk supply and feeding schedules
• Encouraging skin-to-skin bonding and newborn cues
• Teaching proper latch and positioning

Identifying when to seek additional clinical help:

• Ongoing Support and Resources
• Weaning guidance and nutrition transitions
• Returning to work and pumping tips
• Navigating common concerns (e.g., sore nipples, engorgement)
• Offering referrals to IBCLCs, pediatricians, or support groups when needed

• First-time parents

💬 Why I Don’t List Prices

Every journey into parenthood is unique, and so are your needs. I offer personalized support tailored to you and your family—not one-size-fits-all packages. Because of this, I don’t advertise set prices online. Instead, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation so we can explore what level of support is right for you. 💛

✨ Flexible payment plans are available—because support should be accessible.
