Find a Lactation Consultant Near Me in Fort Collins, CO

Hi, I'm Koko! I serve Longmont and northern Colorado as a birth and postpartum doula. I offer placenta encapsulation and lactation counseling. I see in birth such a beautiful demonstration of love. The love of a mother as she uses her strength, the love of a partner in support of labor; and love of God for us as we travel through the whole process. I am blessed with the beautiful opportunity to help others welcome the precious gift of new life into this world. My life is guided by Catholic faith, marriage, and my life’s vocation of motherhood. I am DONA trained and certified through the Catholic Doula Program as both a birth and postpartum doula.

I found my love and passion for supporting families and children in 2002 when I began my career as a Nanny.  I would frequently found myself supporting newborns/infants as a Nanny and chose to transition to a Newborn Care Specialist officially in 2021.  As of 2023, I have supported over 30 families with their childcare and newborn development. In order to bolster my experience and skills, I sought educational opportunities that specialized in newborn/infant care.  I have completed course offerings from Newborn Care Solutions in both Foundational and Advanced levels and am an Elite, CACHE certified NCS; along with being a trained doula and working on my certification for lactation counselor, I continue learning and growing my knowledge through safe sleep courses and many other trainings pertaining to newborns. I look forward to hearing from you to see if I am a good fit!

Hi! My name is Meredith, and I am a Lactation Consultant. I have an 8 year old son and 6 year old daughter- and loving this stage of childhood they are in! My husband and I are originally from the Austin area in Texas, but have been here in Colorado for over 14 years now and love anything outdoorsy, dogs, family time and I love reading most genres of books. I have been a nurse for over ten years, serving many different patient populations. One of my favorite areas of nursing was as a mom baby nurse- which I did for 2.5 years- and found a passion for helping with breastfeeding and giving support to all different kinds of feeding plans. I have been an IBCLC for 3 years, and it’s been my favorite nursing career to date! My philosophy is to always support the families’ needs and wants- which I believe can look many ways to help babies thrive and grow, while also protecting the mental and physical health of the mom. I have worked with families who are triple feeding, combination feeding, have a baby or babies in the NICU, exclusively pumping, struggling with an oral tie, using a nipple shield, low supply, oversupply, using a supplemental nursing system, premature birth, wanting to wean, nursing a toddler and more. I love educating and supporting families before and after having a new baby- and every season can bring new challenges. I feel honored when I get to work with a family during this season of life because it’s such a vulnerable and special time to get to be a part of- and I personally know how important good support is during this time.

I have been a registered nurse specializing in perinatal care since 1990. In 2015, I became an IBCLC and began working full-time as an inpatient lactation consultant. In 2019, I expanded my skills by studying craniosacral therapy under Carol Gray. Over time, I integrated craniosacral therapy and lactation consulting at the Recovery Lounge while interning with Amanda Glenn, gradually preparing for retirement from my hospital position. In May 2024, I retired and shifted my focus to the Recovery Lounge and Spa, where I now combine lactation consulting with infant craniosacral therapy, as the two practices complement each other to foster a more joyful breastfeeding experience.
