Hi there! I'm Catherine, a passionate advocate for early childhood development and well-being. With a unique blend of expertise in both lactation consulting and speech pathology, I'm dedicated to supporting families in nurturing their little ones from the very start. As a lactation consultant, I empower mothers and families with evidence-based guidance and compassionate support to establish and maintain successful breastfeeding relationships. I believe in the profound benefits of breastfeeding for both infants and mothers and strive to make this journey as smooth and fulfilling as possible. In my role as a speech pathologist, I specialize in pediatric feeding/swallowing disorders, helping children overcome challenges with mealtimes. By leveraging my knowledge of infant feeding dynamics and oral motor development, I provide holistic support to families, addressing feeding difficulties at the breast, bottle and beyond. My ultimate goal is to foster healthy growth and development in children while equipping parents with the tools and confidence they need to support their child's unique needs. I am committed to making a positive difference in the lives of families every step of the way. Let's embark on this journey together, nurturing happy, thriving little ones and building stronger, more connected families along the way.

I am a pediatric nurse (RN, BSN) and lactation consultant (IBCLC). I've been a nurse for 5 years and have been serving as a lactation counselor for 5+ years prior to gaining my IBCLC credential in 2023. Before becoming a nurse, I studied maternal and infant nutrition. I am also a mother of two, so I have been in your shoes trying to navigate new motherhood and feeding. I hope to serve as a valuable resource to my clients and provide you with the most up-to-date, evidence-based information possible. I want you to have all the facts and be empowered to make your own decisions that are best for you and your family.

Hello to all! My name is Meggan Taylor and I am a certified Birth and Bereavement Doula. I service all of Florida! Birth is a passion of mine. I love seeing moms empowered and leaving my care knowing they did it! I became a doula after the birth of my last daughter. The difference from my first birth and having birth trauma to my last and feeling empowered is exactly what I want for every mom who enters my care. Birth is natural and beautiful. In my spare time I am photographer and run a boutique.
