💛 Lactation Support Rooted in Compassion & Real-Life Experience
Serving Northeast Ohio with heart | In-Home + On-Location Lactation Consults

hey mama! nice to meet you!


Whether you’re planning ahead or trying to figure out feeding in the thick of postpartum, you’re in the right place. I know the middle-of-the-night Google searches, the second-guessing, the sore nipples, the guilt, the tears, the “Is this normal?” and the fear of getting it wrong.

You’re not doing it wrong—you just haven’t had the support you deserve yet. That’s where I come in.

I’m Brittney, Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, Rainbow Mama of two severely tied food allergy babies, and your go-to girl when breastfeeding gets hard, confusing, or overwhelming. I come alongside you with Mama Gut respecting, evidence-based lactation care, guidance, and the kind of honest support that feels like a warm cup of tea and a deep breath.

Together, we’ll figure it out; no shame, no pressure, no one-size-fits-all plans.

lactation services that meet you where you’re at

Personalized, private support in the comfort of your home (or a cozy local location if you prefer). Whether you’re struggling with latching, milk supply, pain, pumping, tongue/lip ties, or just need reassurance; we’ll sit down, troubleshoot together, and create a plan that actually works for you.
Perfect for:
 Newborn feeding challenges, slow weight gain, bottle refusal, pumping plans, weaning questions, clogged ducts, ties, and everything in between.

The best time to prepare for breastfeeding is before your baby arrives. These private or small group sessions are packed with everything you didn’t know you needed—from how milk supply actually works to what to expect in those foggy first days. Think of it as your confidence-building crash course in all things feeding. includes a beautiful digital guide made just for you. ideal for first time Mamas, VBAC Mamas, and anyone who had a thought start last time.

Breastfeeding isn’t a one and done skill and you don’t need to handle every bump in the road alone. Sometimes, one visit isn’t enough—and that’s okay. Breastfeeding is a journey with bumps, curves, and detours. I offer flexible follow-up options so you feel supported through each stage—whether it’s 3 days, 3 weeks, or 3 months after we first meet.

Whether you’re exclusively nursing, combo feeding, pumping, supplementing, or preparing to wean, your feeding journey is valid. My job isn’t to judge or pressure—it’s to help you feed your baby in a way that feels right for your body, your baby, and your season.

my philosophy and approach

There’s no agenda here—just evidence-based care and lived experience from someone who’s been in the trenches of postpartum and understands that feeding a baby is about so much more than milk.

I believe in the power of a calm presence, clear education and steady support. and I believe you already have what it takes, sometimes you just need someone to remind you.


I bring:
• Trauma-informed, judgement-free care
• A deep respect for the mother-baby connection
• Step-by-step guidance you can actually use
• Support for the emotional side of feeding too
This isn’t about “just try harder”—this is about building confidence, connection, and peace.

I specialize in

• In-home newborn feeding support
• Lactation after birth trauma or NICU stays
• Allergies, reflux, ties, and high-needs babies
• Gentle feeding transitions and informed weaning
And yes, siblings, chaos, and unwashed dishes are welcome during consults. I’m a mama too. I get it.

Kind Words

Sadie- Twin Mama of 5

I called Brittney to help me figure out comfortable tandem nursing positions for my 3 day old twins. She asked what kind of nursing pillows and supplies I had ahead of time and came prepared to help with an individualalzed plan specifically for nursing twins with the type of pillows I had. Her bedside manner was fantastic. She came into our safe space with such patience and kindness. And truly helped me figure out a comfortable position that I used for months. I’m so thankful for Brittney’s services especially at such a vulnerable time and would recommend her to anyone embarking on a nursing journey.
