About me

Hi! I am Christie Ziomek, BS, IBCLC - the face behind Flourish Feeding. I am a Mom to two wild boys, a Degreed Nutritionist and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. My mission as a Lactation Consultant is to provide an inclusive and safe space where parents can find a sense of calm and confidence. My goal is to help you feel empowered to follow your feeding goals that are best for your family and lifestyle. There is no one sized fits all answer to infant feeding. I believe it takes two (parent and baby) to find the right feeding solution and every families journey has their own twists and turns along the way. When I am not with you, you can find me by the beach, running, gardening, doing crafts or having dance parties with the kids or taking on too many DIY home projects. I am here to help you and your baby thrive and flourish through your journey!
