Did you know Kelleen is IBCLC certified?! 🙌🏼

IBCLC stands for International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. An IBCLC is the highest credential for health care professionals specializing in lactation. This requires specific education in lactation & health, 500 clinical experience hours, and passing an exam!

This means we can help you with your pregnancy, labor, and birth.. but she can also help you with your infant feeding issues! We recommend a prenatal lactation visit to create a plan for your feeding journey, discuss your medical history, check your fl**ge size & learn your pump. Then once your baby is here she can help with latch, positioning, milk supply, and more! She offers home visits for the early days if needed, or can see you in office to help you achieve those feeding goals!

We offer all of our services separately or as a complete package! We want you to have whatever support YOU want. If you just want lactation support, just birth doula support, just want to encapsulate your placenta, or just want a breastmilk necklace.. let us know and we will provide you with the best care we can offer to fit your needs! :)

Reach out to book or if you have any questions! 🫶🏼

Did you know you don’t have to get cervical checks? You do not HAVE to consent to them and they can be denied anytime you do not want one.

They aren’t really necessary most of the time. You could go from a 4 to complete in a couple hours. Or you could be at a 3 for weeks. They only tell you where you are in that point and time, but they do not predict anything. I have seen so many mamas just get disappointed and discouraged by that silly number, when it doesn’t mean a thing! Your cervix is not a crystal ball!

Now i’m not saying never get a cervical check. They can be helpful in some cases depending on your health status, and if YOU feel comfortable getting one. But there are risks with them as well like risk of infection, premature rupture of waters, and false expectations of labor progression or when labor will start. We are all about informed consent here! Do what feels right for you!

And if you ever do want to skip one, “no” is a full sentence. 🙂

Madison’s C-section story 🤍

Tiffany’s Cesarean Birth Story 🤍

“On November 21, 2023, my partner and I drove to my 37 week appointment with my hospital bag in car and the car seat installed, not knowing if that would be the day I was admitted for a c-section or not. The week before, I was told that I was 1cm dilated and 70% effaced. When checking me, my OB realized that my baby was breech and VERY settled in that position, so we went ahead and scheduled a c-section for December 1st, although she was fairly certain that I would be staying after my appointment the following week. Sure enough, at 37 weeks, I was 2.5cm dilated and 80% effaced and would be staying to have baby later that day. After a somewhat complicated c-section (baby’s head was wedged under my ribs and placenta), at 5:07pm November 21, 2023, our boy was finally here! Our sweet Lewis Ronald weighed 7lb 14oz and was 20” long.“

Thank you for sharing your story with us! 🫶🏼

This girl right here is a prime example of what I always tell people… it is never too late to switch providers!!!!

With a “big baby” ultrasound and the holidays looming around the corner, her OB (that’s she’s had for 7+ years and 3 previous vaginal deliveries might I add!) wanted to schedule her for a c section. She knew that wasn’t what she wanted, so she reached out to me for advice.

My advice? Find a new provider! Your doctor works for YOU. If you don’t see eye to eye? It is never too late to switch.

This mama switched care at 37 weeks and 3 days. Away from the doctor she was familiar with… to a completely new hospital, and even a new type of provider (midwives!) I am so proud of her for stepping out of her comfort zone and standing up for herself and her wishes!

Because of her strength and persistence, she was able to have the completely pain-med free vaginal delivery she had hoped for.

Keep standing up for yourselves ladies! 💪🏼

Special thanks to her incredible nurses and midwives that believed in her! ❤️

Laine’s birth story:

On june 6th at 40 W 5 D, i woke up at 4 am to some very mild period like contractions, I wasn’t sure if it was the real deal or braxton hicks so i timed them and they were roughly 10-15 mins apart until 9 am. Then they disappeared leaving me feeling disappointed considering I just had the “membrane sweep, induction, NST testing / ultrasound” talk with my midwife and had many eager folks texting me for updates that I didn’t have, daily.

The next morning June 7th at 40 W 6 D, I woke up at 3 am with contractions again, more intense than the morning before. This time they were closer together, coming about every 5-10 mins. I woke jimmy up
around 6:30 and told him it’s go time.
