Mother Nurture Consulting + Wellness

I’m developing a new program designed to transform how we approach lactation care—moving beyond the clinical; the charts, the formal mentorship. It’s time that we prepare the next wave of lactation professionals to examine systemic barriers, limiting beliefs, and personal narratives and move toward a more regenerative model of care.

This is still in the creative and development stage, and I want your insight to make sure it truly meets the needs of our field.

By participating in this survey you’ll have the opportunity to:

🗣️Share your experiences and challenges in lactation work

🗣️Influence the design, topics, and delivery of the program

🗣️Help shape an approach that’s rooted in truth, equity, and sustainability

Comment LACTATION for the link to the survey.

Something is stirring.
Not another course. Not another credential.
A return. A remembering. A reclamation.

For lactation professionals who feel the fire of change in their belly…
For those who want their work to nourish more than milk—it must nourish us.

The roar is rising.

Comment EPIC and I’ll send you a survey to help me continue to shape this offering.

Volume 2 is going to be WILD!!!!

The Momazine – Motherhood Rewilded

We’re launching Volume 2 of The Momazine, a digital zine for mothers, birth workers, radical nurturers, and anyone who lives at the intersection of caregiving and resistance.

The theme for Volume 2 is “Motherhood Rewilded” and it invites voices that challenge the norms, break open the scripted narratives, and reclaim mothering as a radical, rooted, and regenerative practice. We want stories, essays, artwork, poems, and reflections that explore:

👊The wild, untamed aspects of motherhood — the messy, powerful, and sometimes uncomfortable truths.

👊Healing from cultural disconnection and returning to ancestral or embodied wisdom.

👊Acts of resistance against systems that try to control, commodify, or silence mothering experiences.

👊Reimagining community, ritual, and connection in mothering outside dominant frameworks.

👊Intersectional perspectives that honor identity, justice, and inclusivity in the maternal journey.

👊Personal and collective transformations that awaken deeper belonging to the earth, body, and lineage.

Whether your piece is raw, lyrical, critical, or hopeful — if it speaks to rewilding mothering in any form, we want to hear from you.

Tell us how you resist. Tell us what you carry. Tell us what needs to be burned or buried or reborn.

ATTENTION:
.nossel JulieOwono — this is a picture of me pumping for my medically fragile baby. It was in fact, the only thing keeping me going and the only thing keeping my mental health intact while he fought for his life. I cannot imagine the regret I would have felt if I had been swayed by an influencer on one of your platforms, telling me how easy and convenient formula feeding is, and how quitting for my mental health was the right thing to do.

Mothers are whole, creative, and wise. The decisions they make about how to feed their babies should be between them and their healthcare provider and family. Not influencers hoping to make a buck off of sponsored content on your platform. I hope you hear us loud and clear— Meta must not amplify or profit from content that contributes to health misinformation and undermines child and maternal well-being. End predatory formula marketing on Meta now—including influencer content disguised as support or mom to mom relatable sharing—as this is often the MOST harmful!

In conversation with a friend yesterday, she shared with me the root meaning of the word taboo. I did some further research and turns out she’s right!

The word “taboo” originally meant sacred.

Not shameful.
Not inappropriate.
Sacred. Set apart. Powerful.

Breastfeeding threatens systems that profit from disconnection, control, and dependency.
It’s not taboo because it’s wrong—
it’s taboo because it’s sovereign, ancestral, and unruly in its devotion.

Every latch, every letdown, every public nursing session
is a quiet revolution.
A reclamation of what they tried to strip from us.

Let them call it taboo.
We’ll call it holy.

Have you heard? Medela will no longer manufactor, sell, or market bottles and teats. This is causing a stir online so let’s break it down!

1. Always question the motives of a for-profit company. My hunch is that one of the primary motives here is to be more WHO Code compliant so that they can enter spaces where this compliance is required such as conferences.

2. No longer marketing bottles would have been enough to be compliant. But most likely the company decided “hey if we’re not going to market them then guess what we’re not even going to sell them!” The Code does not say anything about selling, only marketing. The company itself opted to take it a step further.

3. It’s a slippery slope to say “well if all companies do this, and there aren’t any bottles and then we can’t feed our babies”. First of all, all companies won’t do this, second of all, this type of comment detracts from the actual importance of the conversation we should be having which is about MARKETING.

🗣️There could be a world where products like bottles and formula could be sold, but not marketed. Imagine1:1 recommendations from your healthcare provider or IBCLC on feeding products rather than having companies telling you what’s best? That’s the point of the Code 🗣️

So why are people getting so worked up when the topic is MARKETING?

Because people expect every post to hold the full story. What I mean by this is, when you read something and it doesn’t resonate with you because that wasn’t your live experience you immediately feel excluded.

So in response to feeling excluded, many people respond with things like “but what about” and “this is not the case for everyone!”

But it is not the job of the content, the creator of the content, the announcement, or even the data to hold every possible version of the story. This is centering yourself, and in many cases, your own trauma and again missing the point of the actual conversation. Which is about MARKETING.

So is this a good move on behalf of this company?

Yes.

It is starting up a very important conversation. But, it is our job to actually have the right one.

Retreat announcement!

November 6-9 2025
Rooted & Resourced Birthworker Retreat
Montego Bay, Jamaica

Who it’s for:

Rooted and Resourced is for those who were called to birth and lactation work for a reason...because you felt the power of birth in your bones.

Because feeding a baby felt like ceremony.

Because tending to new life felt like tending to the world.

But too often, birth and lactation work demands everything of you—your time, your body, your heart—without offering the restoration, support, and community you deeply need.

And it starts to wear on you. Rooted and Resourced is the remembering!

We will explore:

Motherwork as Leadership:
Reframe invisible labor. Center care work as powerful, and sacred.

Birth, Grief, and Regeneration:
We’ll explore how your own stories and thresholds—loss, identity shifts, postpartum unravelings—can become sources of wisdom, not wounds to hide.

Reclaiming Ritual & Restorative Practices: You’ll leave with rituals you can bring back into your life and practice to ground, clear, and sustain you and your clients.
