Find a Lactation Consultant Near Me in Lima, OH

I’m an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). That’s just a fancy way of saying I know a lot about boobs and breastfeeding 😉 At times, breastfeeding can be really challenging but my goal is to meet and support mommas where they are, providing help and encouragement along the way. My passion is to help save lives, one at a time, through the miraculous gift of mother’s milk.

My name is Kristin McKee. I am a child of God, a women, a wife to an amazing husband since 2020, and a mother to two sweet little boys and an angel baby gone way too soon. I am a Labor and Delivery nurse since 2020; user of the Marquette Method NFP model since 2020; a Natural Family Planning Instructor through the Marquette University since 2022 and Certified since 2024; a Certified Lactation Consultant since 2023; and lastly, a women, wife, and mother navigating this world in the most natural and holistic way for my family.

My name is Josie Patton. I'm a wife and mom of 4 boys including a set of twins, all of whom I have or am currently breastfeeding. I obtained my CLS in 2021 after the birth of my second son. I had a lot of struggles with my first and although we made it to our goal for nursing it took a lot of work on my behalf to make it happen. I knew then that I wanted to be the person who helps other families in our community that have nursing/feeding struggles. By Design Lactation came to life when I took my step of faith that God had big plans for me to make my dream of helping others come true. I wholly believe that we are designed to provide life and then sustain it after birth. Most women who struggle to breastfeed are not incapable of doing it they just lack support and/or knowledge, I strive to break those barriers to help families reach their feeding goals!

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. 💕 Let me take a moment to introduce myself! My name is Callie Kraft. I am a Registered Nurse in Postpartum and an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). I am also mom to an amazing 2.5 year old boy and expecting baby brother this December! 💙💙 My passion for breastfeeding started almost 3 years ago when I began my own breastfeeding journey. Breastfeeding has so many amazing and wonderful and beautiful moments but it also has moments where you just need help and support! I want to be that help and support for you. My purpose here is to help you meet your breastfeeding goals - whatever that may be, however long that may take!

Hi Everyone! My name is Grace Hultquist and I’m a Lactation Consultant based out of Warsaw, IN! I travel up to one hour to see patients in the comfort of their own home. I have the privilege of working for Milk Guide where we accept most insurances so families can receive my care at no cost! In addition to working at Milk Guide, I also work at Aeroflow Breast Pumps where I have the pleasure of helping families all over the US! All of the families I work with locally will be through Milk Guide. I have one little man at home that I breastfed for 16 months - the first half pretty traditionally and the 2nd half I actually exclusively pumped for him! No matter where you may find yourself on your lactation journey, I can certainly relate! I can help with any lactation related concern, but particularly love parts of lactation related to TOTs (tethered oral ties), pumping, latching, and prenatal education! Looking forward to helping you meet your feeding goals!

Hi, my name is Chante Shine. I am a wife, mother and cancer survivor. It was after my own two wildly different but equally amazing birth experiences I realized that I had a passion for birth. For years afterward, I helped to guide my friends through their birth journeys but after my life changing struggles in 2022 I decided, life is short and there is not a minute to waste! So, in 2023 I decided to make it official and get my Birth Doula Certification. I also went ahead and added Postpartum Doula, Breastfeeding Counselor and Childbirth Educator Certifications to my agenda! I am currently working my way through these classes, and I could not be more excited and thrilled to start working with expecting parents such as yourselves!

I am a passionate and experienced Lactation Consultant with over 16 years of experience helping women succeed on their breastfeeding journeys. I have always had a passion for learning more about breastfeeding in college and decided to go onto to become an IBCLC shortly after. Once I experienced breastfeeding my four children, I found that each breastfeeding journey was much different. I found that breastfeeding is not just about the benefits and nourishment for the baby, but the empowerment I felt made me more determined to help other moms achieve that same feeling. I received amazing support from other lactation colleagues and my fellow mom-to-mom community, which made me even more equipped to give moms peer and professional support rooted in evidence-based practice. I am dedicated and excited to be providing families with the tools they need to achieve their own personal feeding goals. I offer virtual and home visits for prenatal and postpartum moms, breastfeeding education classes, back to work classes, and nutrition and breastfeeding classes.

Hi I am Maria, and I came to doula work after working in childcare for 8 years. After spending time with parents who had relatively no postpartum care or support, I soon started my training to bridge that gap. I believe that the postpartum period is one of the most crucial stages of pregnancy. Many parents experience feelings of loneliness, confusion, and exhaustion and it is Maria’s top priority to help parents feel their best during your fourth trimester. Maria believes that every family who wants a doula should have one. Promoting a judgement free zone, she happily works with families and individuals of any age, race, & gender. Instilling confidence and nurturing a new family is what makes Maria excited to go to work every day. Maria has been trained as an EMT, birth and postpartum doula, certified lactation counselor, and is working on her IBCLC certification which she plans to finish by winter 2025.

Hey there, my name is Jasmine Johnston and I’m from Cincinnati, OH. I am a Full Spectrum Doula and Wholistic infant feeding and lactation consultant. I am a proud gardener and crocheter. I also enjoy yoga, herbalism, vegan food, and wholistic health. I’m not new to care taking, I Have 10 Nieces and Nephews and I’ll always say my younger sister was my first baby. However, it was through my first born that I was reborn myself. While pregnant, I gained a passion for birthwork and gardening. I began to understand the importance of getting connected with earth’s essence and supporting each seed towards their fullest potential. In gardening, each seed knows exactly what to do when given the right environment to flourish. I believe in that philosophy for birthing people. I aim to support women in their fully informed power and connection to self through the ancestral ways of breastfeeding, birthing, and wholistic wellness.

Hi there! I'm Jill, and I'm an IBCLC and a holistic sleep specialist. I work with families to get to the root of their feeding and/or sleep challenges. Unique from other sleep consultants, I work with families to help understand & address the root cause of their baby's night wakings without ANY form of separation-based sleep training. My approach centers attachment and is informed by neuroscience & infant brain development, as well as biological feeding norms. Because I specialized training in lactation care, oral function, and nutrition, I have helped hundreds of families identify missed (or dismissed) issues affecting sleep and improve their child's health & well-being for life.
