Why an IBCLC

Deep training in the mother-baby dyad, not just the basics.

Carrie's training meets the gold standard for lactation care: hundreds of hours of in-depth lactation education and hands-on clinical training.

She holds advanced training through the Oral Habilitation of the Breastfeeding Dyad masterclass, letting her both assess and support tongue-tie and other oral restrictions many consultants aren't trained to catch, with referrals for collaborative care when that's the right next step.

Care that sees all of you

Affirming care for every kind of family.

All identities, family structures, and feeding goals are welcome here. LGBTQIA+ affirming support isn't a footnote; it's the starting assumption for every family who walks through the door.

Whatever brought you here, prenatal planning, a painful latch, a return to work, the goal is the same: a plan that cares for your baby's needs and yours.

In their words

Real families, real results.
