Sherilyn Johnson has always had a special love for babies. Growing up in Alaska with six siblings, she learned the importance of family and caregiving from an early age. After marrying her husband, she earned her nursing degree and began her journey in Maternal Child Health in 1985. Together, they raised five children and now feel blessed to have 9 grandchildren. In 2003, Sherilyn became a Lactation Specialist at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, WA. By 2006, she became an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). With experience in labor and delivery, mother-baby care, and lactation support, Sherilyn has dedicated her career to helping mothers and babies thrive. She has also shared her knowledge as a guest lecturer on lactation at WSU and has led mother-baby support groups. In 2014, Sherilyn and her family moved to central Washington. Seeing a need for more lactation support in her community, she fulfilled her life long dream and opened a private practice breastfeeding clinic. Cuddles and Cream Lactation was born in July, 2019.
