support in every stage of motherhood

Before Baby’s Arrival

Prenatal Breastfeeding Class

Learn more about breastfeeding preparation and how to get off to a good start! We will discuss what is important to focus on in the first few days and weeks with your baby.

After Baby’s Arrival

In Home Lactation Consults

Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn’t mean it’s naturally easy! It is a skill both you and your baby are learning together and sometimes you need a little extra guidance, that’s where I come in! When things aren’t going quite according to plan, we troubleshoot to help you meet your breastfeeding goals right in the comfort of your own home.

in person support group for mamas in all stages

the biggest impact on how long a Mother is able to breastfeed is the amount of support she gets during her journey, that support can come from a partner, a parent, a friend or a group of friends that meets once a month and talks real life motherhood, asks the hard questions and walks alongside you in their own journey. We hope to be the latter! So come join us and soak up some knowledge before birth and spend time with us after baby’s arrival as you both grow, learn and roll with all the unpredictability of life with a baby.

hey mama! nice to meet you!

Whether you’ve stumbled into my corner of the internet in the middle of the night with tears in your eyes ready to throw in the towel, find yourself chasing that gut instinct that something just “isn’t right” or are planning ahead for babies arrival and want to be prepared for all the things, you’re in the right place!

let’s chat a bit about what’s going on and see if we can’t work together to help you meet your breastfeeding goals!

FAQ

Got Questions?

it’s always the right time to get better informed! I recommend attending a class in your late second or early third trimester and starting to build your support network by getting to our free monthly meetups!

yes! whether you’re planning on breastfeeding after you give birth, have a newborn you’re still getting into a rhythm with or your nursing a toddler all Mamas are welcome! come meet us at 1900 Krumroy Rd Akron, OH at 6pm the fourth Thursday of each month. (Resuming January 2025)

you’ll get a pre-consult HIPPAA compliant online form that tells me about you, baby and what you’re experiencing, I’ll also ask what kind of tools you have to help in breastfeeding (pillows, pump (whether manual or electric) and what your overall goals are, if you’ll be returning to work and need to pump, basically all the info I need to make sure you feel confident by the end of our time together

I highly recommend reading some books or listening to podcasts during your pregnancy as well as getting to our support group while you’re still pregnant, there are also group and private breast-feeding courses that cover everything from A to Z without fueling your anxiety, even with all the best laid foundation sometimes you just need a little extra support and that’s when you call me and we make a plan to help you reach your breastfeeding goals

If you head over to these blog posts you’ll find my favorite podcasts, books, courses and support groups that I try to keep as up to date as possible!
