Hi, I’m Caitlin!
I’m a passionate Certified Lactation Counselor® and Lactation Advocate.
—
SHE / HER / HERS
I help lactating individuals, and their families, overcome self-doubt, societal stigma, and physical pain barriers so they can make empowered decisions and feed with complete confidence.
I’m an ALPP Certified Lactation Counselor®
Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice, Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides a national certification program in breastfeeding and human lactation for nurses, physicians, dietitians, WIC personnel, peer counselors, independent lactation counselors, and others.
Process
I meet clients virtually or in person at home/hospital.
Together we uncover a detailed history for the parent/child through careful listening, and keen observation—I gather as much info on their situation as possible, then pair it with my extensive lactation knowledge to create a personalized plan that meets my clients’ needs.
Style
I am a compassionate helper.
I’m also a scientist, mother, advocate, or ‘Lactivist’. I offer a safe space for clients to be heard and seen, and deliver problem-specific solutions that work for them and their families. I’m a fierce believer in the power of people and their bodies, and that when we help to empower and educate lactating people, we make life a bit happier/easier.
Personality
Resourceful, fierce, and optimistic.
I’m diligent, creative, and untiring in my quest to find individualized real-world solutions and to always keep learning. I've been a fierce defender of what is right my entire life. I’m optimistic that big change is possible, at both the individual level and on the larger societal level.
Advocacy and Activism:
All lactating people and families deserve skilled and knowledgeable support to help them meet their goals. Unfortunately, not everyone has equal access or any access to the care they deserve and need. Through my work testifying and meeting with state senators and representatives, I seek to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding/chestfeeding individuals and our society at large, by helping to pass legislation that helps our whole community, and especially those most in need.
“Success is only meaningful and enjoyable if it feels like your own.”
