Hello! I'm Miranda Perotti, a dedicated IBCLC, BSN, RN. As a lactation consultant, I've embarked on a journey fueled by my passion for supporting breastfeeding families and empowering them to achieve their feeding goals. With a background in nursing from Abilene Christian University, I bring nine years of invaluable experience in the Women's Health field, evolving from a labor and delivery nurse to an IVF nurse coordinator, and finally finding my calling as a lactation consultant after the birth of my first daughter. My journey into lactation consulting was inspired by the incredible support I received from my own IBCLC during my breastfeeding journey. Facing numerous challenges early on, her knowledge and guidance were pivotal in helping me navigate through the hurdles. Now, I'm driven by the desire to pay it forward and assist other families in their feeding journeys with the same level of care and expertise that I received. With a holistic approach to lactation support, I believe in the power of knowledge and support above all else. Less is more, and I strive to empower families with the confidence and skills they need to succeed without relying on unnecessary accessories or interventions. What I find most rewarding about supporting breastfeeding families is witnessing the joy and fulfillment when they meet or exceed their original feeding goals. I tailor my support to meet the unique needs and preferences of each family. By understanding their daily life, work, cultural practices, and family dynamics, I develop personalized plans that are realistic and achievable. When mothers feel uncertain or overwhelmed about breastfeeding, I offer a compassionate ear and work collaboratively to navigate through the challenges. I often recommend the Koala hold, laid-back feeding, or biologic nursing, as I've seen firsthand how these approaches can facilitate efficient feeding even in the face of early difficulties. Drawing from my own breastfeeding journey, which included experiences with preterm birth, a NICU stay, oral restrictions, and feeding success despite the hurdles, I offer reassurance and support to parents, reminding them that their current struggles are temporary and that brighter days lie ahead. Outside of my professional role, I find solace and rejuvenation in outdoor activities like gardening, camping, and hiking. I also love to try new foods! Join me on this transformative journey, where together, we can navigate through the challenges and celebrate the triumphs of breastfeeding parenthood!

Welcome to my corner of the internet! I'm Brandy, a dedicated Registered Nurse (RN) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a passion for helping mothers and babies on their breastfeeding journey. My career in nursing began in 2006, where I initially found my calling in the labor and delivery unit. Witnessing the miracle of new life and being a part of that special moment filled me with joy and purpose. However, it was my personal experience with breastfeeding challenges that truly ignited my passion for lactation and breastfeeding support. As a mother myself, I faced hurdles and uncertainties in my breastfeeding journey that led me to dive headfirst into the world of lactation science and support. This transformative experience sparked a desire to empower and guide other mothers through their own breastfeeding challenges. Becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in January 2018 was a pivotal step in my journey, solidifying my commitment to providing evidence-based care and guidance. In late 2020, I made the decision to transition full-time into private practice, allowing me to dedicate my expertise exclusively to supporting mothers and babies in their breastfeeding endeavors. With years of hands-on experience in labor and delivery, coupled with my specialized training as an IBCLC, I bring a unique blend of medical expertise and compassionate care to every interaction. I understand the physical and emotional aspects of breastfeeding, and I am committed to providing personalized guidance tailored to each mother's individual needs. When I'm not assisting mothers and babies, my faith and family keep me grounded. I'm a proud wife and mother of two wonderful sons. My own family experiences have deepened my understanding of the complexities of parenthood and the importance of a strong support system. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to being a part of your breastfeeding adventure.❤️

Hello, I'm Krysta Paulo, BSN, RN, IBCLC, and I'm honored to journey alongside families as they navigate the beautiful, sometimes challenging, world of breastfeeding. For the past four years, I've poured my heart into lactation support, drawing from a rich background in psychology and nursing. My journey into lactation consulting began during my time as a Mother/Baby and NICU RN, where I found myself drawn to the intricacies of breastfeeding. Witnessing the profound bond that forms between mother and baby during these tender moments ignited a passion within me to offer unwavering support to breastfeeding families. My approach to lactation support is grounded in a belief in individualized care and empowerment. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, I work closely with each family to create a plan that aligns with their unique goals and values. Whether it's virtual visits or in-person consultations, I meet families where they are, ensuring that their concerns, preferences, and aspirations guide our journey together. What I find most rewarding about supporting breastfeeding families is witnessing that magical moment when it all clicks - when a mother fully embraces her role and settles into her new identity with confidence and grace. It's a moment I cherish deeply, knowing that I've played a part in fostering that connection. Outside of my professional role, I find immense joy in being a mother and a small business owner. Creativity fuels my spirit, whether I'm working on projects with my Cricut or exploring the great outdoors. As for breastfeeding, it's not just a job for me - it's a deeply personal journey. Becoming a mother myself after becoming an IBCLC opened my eyes to the profound bond it creates between mother and infant. It's a sacred, irreplaceable connection that I wish every mother could experience. In the breastfeeding journey, I believe that the role of other family members, whether it's partners, grandparents, or siblings, is invaluable. Their support and understanding can make all the difference, providing a strong foundation of encouragement for the breastfeeding dyad. When a mother feels uncertain or overwhelmed about breastfeeding, I offer reassurance and guidance, reminding her that breastfeeding can look different for every mother and baby. Together, we explore communication signals and techniques that resonate with her unique situation, empowering her to trust her instincts and find her rhythm. As for techniques or methods, I advocate for a baby-led approach, embracing the natural instincts of both mother and infant. It's a journey of discovery and connection, guided by love and trust. In essence, my role as an IBCLC isn't just about offering lactation support - it's about nurturing relationships, fostering empowerment, and celebrating the beautiful bond between mother and baby. And I consider it a true privilege to be a part of each family's breastfeeding journey.

Hello! I'm Tania Nuezca, and one of my passions is supporting families through their incredible journey of parenthood, particularly in the realms of childbirth education and lactation support. I would like to share my background and a little bit about myself. With over a decade of experience as a childbirth educator, I've dedicated myself to helping families navigate the exciting yet challenging transition into parenthood. Along the way, I've taken additional classes to hone my skills, delving into topics like spinning babies, rebozo use during pregnancy and labor, bengkung belly binding, and neonatal resuscitation. It's all part of my commitment to offering comprehensive support to families during this transformative time. Based in Humble, Atascocita, and Kingwood, I'm here for families in these areas and also travel out to Houston to support families, offering both in-person and virtual visits. Whether it's convenient for you to have a home, office, or virtual consultation, I'm here to provide the guidance and support families need. Beyond my childbirth education background, I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). My journey to becoming an IBCLC was inspired by my own experiences struggling with breastfeeding my three children. Through my own challenges, I developed a deep empathy for families facing similar struggles and a strong desire to provide them with the support they need from the very beginning. With a holistic approach to lactation support, I believe in addressing the needs of the whole person. I find immense reward in helping families feel empowered and confident in their feeding choices, knowing that they have the knowledge and support to nurture their little ones. Outside of my professional role, I cherish spending time with my family and friends, exploring the outdoors, and embarking on adventures. One of my biggest passions is learning sign language for my two deaf children and to support the broader D/deaf community, from pregnancy to lactation. My current skill level is conversational sign but am working on fluency and medical terminology. When it comes to supporting breastfeeding families, I recognize the importance of involving other family members, such as partners and grandparents, in the journey. Their support is invaluable in bolstering parents' confidence and empowerment. As a mom of two children with a rare genetic condition, I've spent many hours researching. I also use this determination when supporting new families. I enjoy researching to find the right answer for you. I tailor my support to meet the unique needs and preferences of each family by starting with open communication and truly listening to their concerns. When a mother is feeling uncertain or overwhelmed about breastfeeding, I provide a compassionate ear and work with them to develop a plan that aligns with their wishes and makes them feel empowered. I often recommend techniques like baby-led latch and laid-back breastfeeding, as I've seen firsthand how these methods can help babies achieve a successful latch and make the breastfeeding journey smoother for both parents and infants. In essence, I'm here to offer compassionate, personalized support to families as they embark on the extraordinary adventure of parenthood. If you're in need of guidance or encouragement along the way, I'm just a message away. Let's navigate this journey together!

Hi Everyone, I'm Ashley, a Afro-Dominican & Puerto Rican mother to a 15 year old boy and a Certified Full Spectrum Doula and Lactation Counselor. Throughout my career, I have had the honor of supporting over 55 families and counting during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, helping them navigate all the transitions of bringing new life into the world. My passion for supporting families during this transformative time began when I experienced the birth of my own child. I realized the profound impact a skilled and compassionate doula can have on ones birthing experience because although I wasn't able to have a doula for my birth, I was able to teach myself and those supporting me the role of a doula during birth, which allowed me to achieve all of my birth goals. Through this passion, I have dedicated myself to supporting families through their pregnancy, birth and postpartum in a way that is personalized, empowering, and non-judgmental. I believe in creating a safe and nurturing space that allows families to make informed decisions and feel supported throughout their process. My approach is grounded in evidence-based research and tailored to the needs of each family. I provide emotional, physical and advocacy support as well as evidence-based education and access to resources you may need to help encourage a positive and fulfilling birth and postpartum experience. I am committed to continuing my education and professional development to ensure that I am providing the most up-to-date and effective care possible. Whether you're planning a home birth, hospital birth, or a birth center delivery and/or you're just looking for postpartum support, I am here to support you every step of the way. I look forward to the opportunity to help you achieve your ideal birth and postpartum experience.
