WHY TRAIN WITH ME?
Becoming an IBCLC isn’t just about logging hours. It’s about developing clinical judgment, confidence in complex cases, and the ability to support families with skill and compassion. My mentorship is designed to build both competence and independence.
Clinical Depth & Complexity
Gain exposure to postpartum hospital units, NICU support, clinics, and tongue tie cases including premature infants and medically complex feeding challenges.
Structured, Progressive Training
Move intentionally from observation to supported participation to independent clinical thinking. The focus is skill development, not passive shadowing.
Building Your Lactation Practice
Gain insight into the practical side of lactation consulting, including client communication, documentation, care planning, and how to begin establishing your own practice within the community.
Teaching & Leadership Exposure
Opportunities may arise to observe or participate in community breastfeeding workshops, supporting the development of public speaking skills and group education confidence.
