About me

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.
