My specialties are with supply issues (both low and over) and pumping/flange sizing.

I love working with moms in every stage of breastfeeding from pregnancy through weaning and helping you meet your goals.

Hi, I’m Katie—an IBCLC dedicated to supporting families with compassionate, evidence-based care. I received my lactation training through Metropolitan State University of Denver and have spent the past eight years working as both a birth and postpartum doula, supporting more than 100 families through some of the most tender and transformative moments of their lives. I come to lactation work with a foundation in Nutrition, holding a bachelor’s degree from UNC.  I have three kiddos of my own—each with their own unique breastfeeding journey. These experiences deepen my understanding that every family’s path is different, and every goal is valid. I truly love being welcomed into people’s homes and consider the postpartum period a sacred space. My approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and meeting families exactly where they are—whether they’re navigating challenges, exploring their feeding options, or simply seeking reassurance. When I’m not working with families, you can find me snowboarding, traveling, reading, cooking, and hanging out with my little crew, hopefully outside, having an adventure!

Hello everyone! My Name is Kirsten Halstead. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with more than 25 years of lactation support experience, and a Registered Nurse with over 35 years of experience in maternal child nursing, I can provide you with the care and support to help you meet your feeding goals. I understand the importance of providing support for parents as they navigate the joys and challenges of breastfeeding. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it! Human milk is the best nutrition for baby humans, as it is specifically tailored to their needs. Breastfeeding is also a learned skill that is traditionally passed down through families. In the past, all babies were breastfed and new parents had the support of their own family members to guide them through the process. Today, many parents may not live close to their extended families, and the availability of formula has led to a decline in breastfeeding knowledge and rates. It's important to remember that breastfeeding is a natural and beautiful thing, and with the right support and resources, most parents can learn to breastfeed successfully.

Love Lactation,LLC Meet your Lactation Consultant Heather Cordova IBCLC I have been a lactation consultant for more than 13 years and have worked with families for over 30 years. I strongly believe that everyone should have access to professional care, and I am passionate about providing that support to families. Feeding your baby is a deeply personal experience, and I am dedicated to helping you reach your feeding goals. My approach is personalized to fit each individual’s unique path and special journey. Since earning my Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, I spent 29 years with the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, offering both nutrition education and lactation support. In 2011, I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and I have been in private practice for over 14 years. I am married, with two children, both of whom I breastfed for a full year. My daughter, now an adult, has significant special needs. When I was breastfeeding her, I needed extra care and professional support to reach my goals. Without that guidance, I’m not sure I would have been able to continue providing her with human milk. This experience drives my passion to ensure others have access to the same level of care and support.
