Every parent has the right to breastfeeding support. Breastfeeding is natural but a learned skill for a mother and baby. Let Let me be your loving support as you start your journey as a mother. You need to know what is normal newborn behavior and that you are doing a good job! During my 10 years doing inpatient lactation, I have worked with thousands of new families including well and high risk moms and babies. I have 40+ hours of training to work with tongue tied babies pre- and post-release.

My name is Stephanie Smith, I am a LPN and IBCLC- International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I live with my family on our farm near Marshall Junction, where we raise chickens, ducks and emu (yes, Emu, feel free to ask me why!) and a bunch of farm cats. I enjoy caring for all our animals and gardening, and stay busy with our kids in a variety of school activities and sports. Professionally, I’ve been a nurse for 20 years, working in OB/GYN for the past 14 years. I became a Certified Lactation Counselor in 2016 and then continued my education to earn my IBCLC in 2025. My experience is in both hospital postpartum and outpatient clinic, caring for moms and babies throughout the first year and beyond. I often thought how much easier it would be for families if I could just show up and sit with them on their couch and help them- and now I can! I offer home visits to help with latch issues, milk supply concerns, flange fit and pumping support and more!

I'm a social worker by education. I've spent the last 14 years working with low-income families to empower and encourage sustainability and health literacy. I became interested in birth work when I began working on a project to reduce infant mortality. I realized that many birthing persons do not realize all of the decisions that they have to make before, during and after birth. And that they do, and should, have a say in all of these decisions. I want to help families make informed choices that will enhance their birth experience and bring a healthy person into the world safely. I am super invested in helping folks secure their breast/chestfeeding relationship. Whether you are the birthing person, the adoptive parent, the non-gestational parent or just a supportive partner, we can talk about how to make your lactation journey successful. I successfully induced lactation for my first daughter as the non-gestational parent and am really excited to be able to share my lactation knowledge and journey with others. Trainings: Certified Birth Doula (DONA), International Board Certified Lactation Counsultant (IBCLC), Certified Spinning Babies Parent Educator (SBCPE), Certified Child Birth Educator, Child Passenger Safety Technician, Parents As Teachers Educator, Licensed Master Social Worker I live in the midwest, 2 cats and 2 daughters.

Hi! My name is Kylee Carlisle. I have had the privilege of working with families since beginning my career in labor and delivery in 2008. During this time, I found a love for education and breastfeeding support. I have 4 sweet babies of my own and the struggle and awe of breastfeeding them I have discovered the joy in helping others navigate their own breastfeeding goals.
