Hi everyone! I’m Sarah, an IBCLC and the founder of Sweet Nectar Lactation & Infant Feeding Support.

I believe every baby and parent deserve care that’s both evidence-based and deeply compassionate, and that’s what I aim to provide. If you ever need guidance, reassurance, or just someone to help make things a little easier, I’m here for you.

Hi, I’m Amanda! Mama of 2 boys, Registered Nurse, Childbirth Educator, IBCLC and Sleep Consultant! I have over 10 years experience in Maternal Child Health, including labor and delivery, postpartum support, and pediatric care. My own personal struggles of entering into motherhood brought my attention to the gaps in the current system as well as the lack of support for mamas and new families which propelled me to share my expertise out in the community. I am committed to providing evidence based information and judgement free support. If you are looking for someone to come alongside you, encourage you, and be a part of your team during this transition, I would be honored to support you!

Hello there! I am a both Certified Lactation Counselor with Milk Guide Lactation and a Certified Postpartum Doula.

I’d love to help you have an empowered postpartum experience!

Hello, my name is Allison Smigiel I am a registered nurse and lactation consultant. My nursing practice started because I wanted to find another way to support parents as they go through the transformational process of pregnancy and parenthood. I believe in empowering women and families by providing evidence-based information, partnership, and support to help them achieve their goals. My love for Obstetrics started after I saw my first birth in nursing school; I have spent the majority of my 16 years as a nurse working in labor & maternity units, and as a lactation consultant.

My name is Caroline Mugwe, and I am a caring postpartum night doula dedicated to supporting families during the overnight hours. I provide calm, reliable newborn care so parents can rest and recover with peace of mind. My support includes feeding assistance, diaper changes, soothing techniques, and gentle sleep support throughout the night. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment that helps families feel supported, confident, and well-rested during the postpartum period.

Babies have always been my passion! Like Tisha said, I always knew my career would be working with babies. I applied to nursing school knowing I was going to work in OB and that's exactly what I did. After having my first child in 2014 I realized the need for more lactation consultants. I struggled a lot with him and had no one to turn to for answers, so I began doing my own research. I was determined to make this work. And that is how my lactation career started! I started my lactation training not even knowing if I would be able to get a job doing what I had become so passionate about. My family and I made some life changes and everything fell right into place. Tisha and I always casually talked about starting a business but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would actually happen. But here we are! I absolutely love my job and could talk about breastfeeding all day long. I strive to do everything I can to help each mom meet their personal breastfeeding goals. I am very passionate about tongue ties and food allergies in breastfeeding since I personally experienced that with my 2 nursing journeys. Breastfeeding does not come naturally for everyone and it definitely isn't as easy as some think. That's why I have made it my life mission to educate every mom and give them all the tools and support needed to be successful!

Hi I'm Natalie. I am so glad that you're here! I am a board certified lactation consultant and mother of two. My passion is helping families feed their babies and navigate the journey into motherhood. My approach is simple, I meet families where they are at and then I help them grow their vision to meet their feeding goals. Each family is unique and I take care to honor their choices and paths to success. Success looks different for everyone. To me success is achieving a goal, even if it changes along the way, and overcoming challenges and obstacles that might come up. I look forward to working with new families and babies everyday and hope to see you soon!

Patrycja Ptak BSN,RNC-NIC, IBCLC I've been a nurse in a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for nearly 20 years, and have supported breastfeeding in the NICU/Postpartum Units as an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) for 10 years. On my journey, I recognized early on the importance of empowering mothers with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate feeding related challenges.

I have been an internationally board certified lactation consultant since 2020. I strive to help families succeed to reach their breastfeeding goals. I take a holistic approach and seek alternative therapies to helping parents and babies thrive in the newly postpartum period.

Becoming a lactation consultant has been a deeply personal journey for me. I remember the challenges I faced seeking accessible breastfeeding support and the frustration of finding that care wasn’t always within reach. I feel that no family should have to navigate these hurdles alone. I graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Communication Disorders (speech-language pathology). After my husband and I welcomed our first child, I discovered my true passion in breastfeeding and lactation. I then completed my Certified Breastfeeding Specialist certification in 2020. I began a clinical internship in 2022 at Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem, Utah, where I worked until 2024 in the mother-baby unit, NICU, and pediatric settings. I became an IBCLC in 2024 and started my private practice. My greatest joy is being a mom to my four children. I've experienced nearly every positive aspect of lactation, as well as its many challenges. My passion lies in offering support that is free of judgment and tailored to fit your family's unique lifestyle.

I own and operate a birthing practice in Missouri and Kansas. My birthing practice is named My Ancient Birthing to commemorate my love for my God and also to embody and recognize ancient birthing practices. I am also an activist for the fair treatment of minorities; therefore, my practice serves as a pillar in supporting this paradigm. I am an ante, intra and postpartum doula AND midwife, a fertility and birth practitioner through DONA and I specialize in small surgical circumcision(s), lactation coaching and maternal fitness. I have a plethora of accomplishments through my work in My Ancient Birthing, but among the greatest achievement was being interviewed by the Voyage Magazine on March 5, 2026. I was able to introduce my birthing practice to people who are not privy to it and be a reminder for those who were already aware. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
