Find a Lactation Consultant Near Me in Christian Island, ON

Hello and welcome to Flowerbud Lactation! My name is Amanda and I am a lactation consultant with a background in Neonatal ICU and pediatrics nursing. After spending several years supporting families through the toughest times as a NICU nurse, I discovered my passion for infant feeding and breastfeeding. My philosophy is centered around compassion, kindness, and non-judgmental support. I believe in empowering parents with knowledge and helping them feel confident in their feeding choices. What sets me apart from other lactation consultants is my specialization in maternal mental health. I am passionate about supporting moms who are struggling with anxiety, depression, baby blues, PTSD (abuse or sexual trauma), and other challenges. I am dedicated to creating a safe and comfortable space for parents to share their experiences and seek guidance. At Flowerbud Lactation, we provide personalized care and support to help families achieve their feeding goals. We believe that every parent deserves access to quality lactation support, and we are committed to making that a reality. Thank you for considering Flowerbud Lactation, and we look forward to supporting you on your breastfeeding journey.

I have spent my entire career as a Registered Nurse helping families navigate pregnancy, feeding, and postpartum. My experience spans from hospital Labour and Delivery to community nursing with Toronto Public Health's Healthy Babies Healthy Children program, the Ocama Collective and Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre. I look forward to helping you feed your baby!

Hi! I am a Naturopathic Doctor and IBCLC, focused on providing inclusive, judgement-free support for infant feeding. I'm also the founder of Your Downtown Doula is a collective of Naturopathic Doulas who provide education and support throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. We believe that every family deserves a positive pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience.

My name is Natasha, pronouns she/her, mom, gardener, and life-long learner. My mission is so simple: to provide accessible and non-biased support for all people navigating journeys of lactation and infant feeding. I am a Toronto-based International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Certified Lactation Counselor (CBI), completed the Mohawk College Breastfeeding Program, and I am a DONA trained postpartum doula. My doula training directly informs my feeding support style, allowing me to be present and engaged, never rushed, and always there for you. I have no agenda in support other than to help each client understand their own goals and work together to achieve them. The feeding journey looks different for everyone, and there is not one right way to do it.
