The Village IBCLC

Lactation Consultant and In-Home Postpartum Nurse. Supporting families in Grande Prairie, AB. Nips & Sips Holiday Edition is OPEN! Register now! Hi, I’m Nicole.

I am a maternity nurse, lactation consultant (IBCLC) and prenatal teacher. I worked on the maternity unit welcoming babies into the world for most of my nursing career until I had my precious little boy in 2020. Although my son was the best thing that has ever happened to me, his arrival, and the postpartum period with him really shook up my life. Two months after his birth, the world went into full shutdown for the pandemic. It was at this time I learned how important a village was because mine was stripped away. After the first year of my motherhood experience, I realized it can be one of the most isolating and lonely times in a parent’s life. And I know that’s hard to talk about, because while we absolutely adore our children, and love parenthood, sometimes it just sucks (and that’s okay). I knew there was something I could do to help new mothers who don’t have that village. Whether its lack of support, not having family close by, or just needing someone who “gets it” we all deserve support and community in this new season of life. My mission is to support you.

“It takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to support a mother.”

🌿 What can you expect in a lactation consultation with me?

Feeding support is more than just checking a latch.
It’s about understanding your story — your birth, your baby, your body, and your goals.

During a consult, I look at:
✨ The history — what’s been happening so far
✨ The physical clues — ni**le condition, milk flow, baby’s rhythm
✨ Making a plan — because you won’t have to figure this out alone

Every detail tells me something about your feeding story — and how to make it feel better for both of you. 💛

✨ Some words that mean the absolute world to me.

Every visit matters — not just a feeding plan, but for the connection, the calm, and the confidence that comes when a mama finally feels seen and supported.

This work fills my heart. 💛

Come with me to the Grande Prairie Women’s Show 💕

A weekend filled with connection, laughter, and so many familiar faces — families I’ve worked with, and new families just beginning their journey 🥹

Events like these remind me why I started The Village. From the grandparents saying “oh I wish I had this back then” to the 2nd time moms saying “I want to give myself more support next time” I am here to remind you, we deserve that.

Thank you, GP, for showing up with so much love and excitement for The Village 💛

Next up: Nips & Sips – Holiday Edition 🎄
