About Lactation Consultants
-
What Is a Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)?
IBCLC’s, or International Board Certified Lactation Consultants, function and contribute as members of the maternal-child health team. We can provide care in variety of settings, and make referrals to other health professionals and community resources. IBCLC’s have underwent many hours of classes and training, to be able to provide expert breastfeeding and lactation care.

What People Are Saying
Jessica is a long time friend and nursing colleague. I trust that she could help my baby and I when we desperately needed lactation support. She asked all of the right questions and figured out our problem very fast. She was non judgmental, empathetic and sincere. Her follow up and attention to detail were a nice added bonus. I would recommend her to any friend needing lactation education and support.

Jessica has been my go-to for all my breastfeeding concerns. She’s very knowledgeable and she’s very prompt with responses. She is passionate about helping new parents reach their feeding goals and tailoring care plans to their specific needs/concerns. I would highly recommend her to new moms and seasoned moms alike!

Jessica was amazing to work with! She took the time to fully understand all of my concerns and come up with a treatment plan that was customized to my situation. She was friendly, caring, and went above and beyond my expectations. I look forward to continue working with her and would highly recommend her services to anyone who is struggling with breastfeeding!

Jessica was very knowledgeable and helped me when I just could not get my baby to latch. She provided a relaxed and comfortable environment where she worked with me and my baby until we found a solution that allowed me to breastfeed my baby. From the moment you walk into her office you can feel her warmth and the passion she has for what she does. And even in the days following our appointment she checked up on us multiple times to see how breastfeeding was going and to provide help if we needed it. I would recommend Jessica to anyone who is having difficulty breastfeeding their baby.
