As a Registered Nurse with extensive birthing center, neonatal ICU (NICU), and postpartum experience- I understand that breastfeeding doesn’t always come naturally-and that’s okay. Having worked in hospitals for over 15 years-I can help you navigate your breastfeeding journey from pregnancy to postpartum and up to the 1st year of life. I have worked at Vassar Medical Center and Northern Dutchess most recently but also have experience working in other cities and countries where breastfeeding was highly valued. I am also a Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher, and love animals. I enjoy living upstate and truly believe in a holistic approach to care but also have the medical background to support the needs of more complex families and dyads.

Hi, I'm Sydney, a perinatal Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Cousultant, and mom of two toddlers.

Hello! I have been a lactation consultant for 13 years and was an RN on a postpartum unit for 16 years as well. Helping moms and babies is my passion and I truly love what I do! I believe in giving you the education and tools you need to have a successful breastfeeding journey. I give compassionate and expert care and will create a plan for you and baby based on your unique needs and concerns so it's tailor-made, just for you!

With over a decade of experience supporting families, I’ve seen firsthand the joys and challenges of breastfeeding/chestfeeding; including the unique journey of induced lactation. My mission is simple: to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence you need to reach your feeding goals no matter where you are in your journey. Why I Do This Work: Infant feeding is one of the most personal and impactful experiences a parent can have, and that includes parents who are nurturing babies through induced lactation, adoption, surrogacy, or as a non-gestational parent. But it’s not always easy, and too often, families are left feeling overwhelmed or unsupported; especially when their journey doesn’t look “typical”. That’s why I created LatchLine: to make expert, compassionate, and inclusive lactation support accessible to all families, no matter where they live or what challenges they face.

As a Certified Birth Professional and Lactation Consultant Provider, I am privileged to offer my expertise to women and families in the Atlanta, Savannah, and South Carolina regions. My approach to childbirth is holistic, encompassing physical support before, during, and after labor, while also advocating for the birth woman and her family. Outside of my professional endeavors, I cherish spending quality time with my family and indulging in leisurely walks with my fur baby, Diamond.

Hi! I’m Amber Tejeda, a Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and founder of Living Proof Lactation. I have over 11 years of nursing experience, including caring for babies and families in the NICU, and six years of experience as an IBCLC. My own experience as a NICU mom to a premature baby has given me an even deeper appreciation for how overwhelming feeding journeys can feel, especially when things don’t go as planned. My approach to lactation care is compassionate, evidence-based, and centered around YOU and your baby. Whether you’re preparing to breastfeed, navigating pumping, working through latch or milk supply challenges, or finding your way through a more complicated feeding journey, my goal is to help you feel informed, supported, and confident. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to feeding, and you deserve care that respects your goals, your circumstances, and your family’s needs. I’m here to meet you where you are, without judgment, and help you find a feeding plan that works for your family.

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!

Welcome to Mother Trees. I am a Registered Nurse, Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Pre and Perinatal Psychology Educator and Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapist., located in Newcastle, WA. Birthing a new soul is a sacred rite of passage. In our busy world we have forgotten how to be fully present to receive this gift. Unfortunately, most hospital births feel far from empowering or sacred. Deliveries are often induced, creating a faster paced timeline that can make communication between mom and baby more confusing and difficult. Taking time to slow down and listen deeply to your baby, your partner and yourself can be immensely rewarding. It is not what we normally do, so having a guide is helpful. This is the service I’ve been providing to new parents for more than 30 years. I have worked with thousands of breastfeeding families in hospital and home settings. It brings me great joy to provide support and direction during your transition into parenting.
