Who we are

 

We are team of IBCLC Lactation Consultants specialist providing care in all of Gwinnett County, Alpharetta and Atlanta 

When I envisioned the essence of Gwinnett Breastfeeding it is a space where a women’s body and innate ability is always honored and championed. In this space she can always come to learn, to gather, to share in her journey with other women. She will grow as she navigate the newness of motherhood. Not forgetting self but welcoming motherhood. Our space should always be a safe space. Within our walls, I welcome women to have the physiological and emotional support they are seeking in lactation.

Lactation

We are rooted in the knowledge that women are able to breastfeed their infants and most have access to lactation care witnin their community. We are committed to providing inclusive and comprehensive lactation care to all families that we consult with. We provide unique blend of holistic and clinical  evidence-based support to families. While families come to us for feeding help their individuals goals are different so we support you to make their own informed choices in infant feeding. We meet families where they are at and support them in a judgment free way. This means that we address all feeding to help your baby feed well.

Breastfeeding is a beautiful experience for parents and children. Nonetheless, it can be complex and sometimes difficult to navigate alone. Having the support of an experienced and supportive lactation consultant to guide you through any immediate concerns is of great value.

Holistic Doula

I became a doula because I wanted women to have continued support, a sound physiological understanding of their pregnant body, and be empowered to make the right decisions for their body.  There is so much that takes place with your body and emotional state while pregnant. You should be able to explore what is happening with your pregnancy outside of a short office visit.

Pregnancy and birth is more than three trimesters, and three stages of labor.  Every women should have a committed doula to support her throughout her pregnancy & birth.
