I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with more than 25 years experience. I have worked internationally to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding/chestfeeding. My strong clinical skills are coupled with program development, evaluation, and not-for-profit experience. My unique skill set allows me to offer a comprehensive healthcare approach to families. Family-centred care is the cornerstone of my service. I adopt a holistic approach to understand all factors that may impact the breastfeeding dyad, and I strive to provide culturally concordant healthcare. A lactation consultant is an essential member of a prenatal and family healthcare team. They play a pivotal role in infant feeding, particularly breastfeeding. I can support families in preparing to breastfeed, address feeding challenges (including supplementation), and offer continued guidance until weaning. I strive to protect maternal-child health, promote emotional well-being, and empower families to navigate the complexities of breastfeeding. Furthermore, my dedication to family-centred healthcare was strengthened when I completed a Diploma in Herbal Medicine from England. I offer one-on-one herbal consultations to mothers in the perinatal period. During the consultation, mothers are given a space to express their current health concerns.

Some people know me as the "Boob Doctor." It is a nickname I happily embrace because I love helping parents feel confident feeding their babies. Whether it is breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, or working through feeding challenges, I am here to provide compassionate, practical support. I believe healthcare should feel approachable, collaborative, and even a little enjoyable. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered, whether you're navigating hormones, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, or your baby's feeding journey. I'll always meet you where you are, with evidence-informed care and a kind ear. We might even share a few laughs along the way.

I strive to create a calm, judgment-free space where mothers and families feel comfortable asking questions, receiving support, and adjusting to life with a new baby.

Hi, I'm Whitney Moore, BSN, RN, CLC, a Certified Lactation Counselor serving families in Akron, Ohio and the surrounding areas. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Kent State University College of Nursing and completed Certified Lactation Counselor training through the Healthy Children Project, Center for Breastfeeding. I obtained my CLC certification through the Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice in 2025. I also experienced personal difficulties breastfeeding all four of my own children.

Hello! I’m a certified postpartum doula, trained Newborn Care Specialist, early childhood educator, and mother of two with over 10 years of experience supporting infants, young children, and families. I hold an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education and Art, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. My background includes extensive professional training in infant development, newborn care, safe sleep, breastfeeding, and family-centered support. I believe every family deserves compassionate, individualized, judgment-free care. My services focus on postpartum recovery, newborn care, breastfeeding and pumping support, infant feeding education, gentle newborn sleep guidance, and personalized routines. I have a special passion for supporting single parents, young mothers, families with multiples, NICU families, and those navigating unexpected or difficult birth experiences. My goal is to help parents feel confident, informed, supported, and empowered throughout their postpartum journey.

Long before becoming a doula, I understood the importance of supporting mothers because I had experienced motherhood myself. Today, as both a mother and grandmother, I've had the privilege of watching motherhood unfold across generations. Those experiences have given me a deep appreciation for just how significant birth is. Every mother is different. Every baby is different. And every birth story is different. That's why I believe good doula care begins with listening. I was drawn to doula work because I wanted to provide women with the kind of steady, compassionate support that can be so meaningful during labor and birth. My approach is especially centered around comfort care and birth coaching. I help mothers explore different labor positions, movement, relaxation and comfort techniques while also providing the emotional encouragement that can be just as important during labor. I don't believe my role is to take over your birth experience. I'm there to walk beside you. To encourage you when labor becomes difficult. To help you find another position when something isn't working. To remind you of your strength when you're tired. To listen to what you need. And, when desired, to pray with you and bring the comfort of our shared Christian faith into the birth space.

IBCLC of 6 years working collaboratively with my local community advocates to help mothers with all breastfeeding challenges in a safe loving environment.
