Bringing a baby into your life can be a beautiful yet, overwhelming experience. I've been a doula for 11 years and counting, so I've been doing this long enough to know that every family is different. Because of that, I like to get to know the families I work with so that I can support them in a way that is specific to their individual needs. I do not make the decisions for parents or tell them what to do, I empower them to have the confidence in their own parental decisions with evidenced based information, care and empathy. On top of being a doula, I'm a Childbirth educator, Certified Lactation Counselor, Nutritionist, Holistic Health Coach, Certified Sports Nutrition Coach, and Personal Trainer with specialties in pelvic floor, core health, prenatal and postpartum fitness. I bring all of my skills to families to support them in the way that is specific to their needs.

My name is Kristen. I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and pediatric Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with over 10 years of experience in hospitals, NICUs, community programs, early intervention, feeding therapy, WIC, and private practice. I currently spend time working in feeding/nutrition therapy for kiddos birth through 3 years old, then see clients for lactation education & support in home and virtual visits through my private practice, The Lactation Mentor. I have a strong clinical background and practice evidence-based care, but in a way that prioritizes your family’s unique needs. As a dietitian, I have had the absolute privilege of walking alongside families through every possible feeding scenario, and I believe this has shaped how I practice as a lactation consultant. I know and deeply believe that every feeding journey is unique, and there is no wrong way to feed your baby if you are given the tools and information to make informed decisions that work for your family. I have an empathetic and therapeutic counseling style, but I’m also a total goofball with a little touch of sarcasm. I never take life (or myself) too seriously, because life is too short to not be laughing! When we work together, you’ll find me making complex topics easy and fun by giving you relatable examples using a teaching style that meets you where you are. I am a fierce advocate and want you to have all the tools you need to be able to advocate for yourself. I know that, for you to be successful at this, you need to make a plan that works for you. I want to empower you to have the confidence to navigate the ups and downs of lactation even long after we’re done working together. I believe you have the right to make informed decisions in a medical system where the odds are unfortunately often stacked against you meeting your lactation goals. That’s where I come in! You’ve got this, and I’ve got you. Outside of my day to day, I am an avid reader, yogi, and artist, and enjoy exploring new coffee shops and breweries with my husband and our dog, where we live outside of Philadelphia, PA.

I'm Nicole, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a special focus on oral restrictions. Inspired by the special bond I formed with my daughter during our breastfeeding journey, I am passionate about helping other mothers navigate their own breastfeeding experiences. I've undertaken 95 hours of intensive lactation education through LER, complemented by 500 mentoring hours at a prominent lactation center. This rigorous training equips me to provide evidence-based care and informed choices tailored to your specific needs. My philosophy is simple yet powerful: I offer unwavering support, free from judgment, no matter your chosen feeding method. Whether you choose to breastfeed, pump, or opt for formula, your choices are respected and celebrated. Away from my practice, I'm a Disney enthusiast, finding magic in every adventure. As a self-professed homebody, there's nothing I love more than getting into my comfiest pajamas and indulging in a good TV show. And of course, I'm a proud mom to a beautiful daughter and two adorable pugs, each adding their own touch of joy and chaos to my life. At Rooted Maternal Wellness, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized care to each family. Whether you're dealing with oral restrictions, latch issues, or any other breastfeeding concerns, I am here to support and empower you throughout your breastfeeding journey.

Hi! I am a dedicated provider with over a decade of experience as a maternal child health nurse. Since becoming a certified International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2016, I have passionately devoted my career to supporting breastfeeding families, particularly in underserved communities. I have lived in New Jersey, Colorado, and Pennsylvania, and until the last year have worked in FQHC's and postpartum hospital floors. My work is deeply rooted in a holistic approach to birth and lactation, aligning with my personal philosophy and experiences. As a mother who breastfed my eldest daughter for two years (with a tongue tie!) and continues to nurse my toddler, I bring a wealth of personal and professional insight to my practice. I am excited about the prospect of tandem nursing my middle while pregnant with a third. My commitment to empowering families through compassionate, evidence-based care is matched by my enthusiasm for fostering environments where holistic and informed choices about breastfeeding and infant care are celebrated. A blend of professional expertise and personal experience uniquely positions me to support and inspire families on their breastfeeding journeys.

I’ve spent the past five years supporting families as a postpartum doula, walking alongside parents during one of life’s most tender and transformative seasons. As a DONA-certified postpartum doula, I believe it’s essential to care for families with compassion, patience, and understanding, helping them feel supported and confident in their new roles. I’m also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), guiding parents through feeding challenges while fostering connection and trust with their babies. With a certificate in pre- and postnatal nutrition health coaching and a Master’s in Nutrition from NUNM in Portland, Oregon, I blend personalized nutrition, lactation, and postpartum care to support families in body, mind, and heart. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing space where families feel seen, supported, and empowered through their postpartum journey. When I am not working you can find me traveling, hiking, paddling with friends and on rainy days you can find me curled up with a good book and my favorite tea.

Liz is an Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) trained body worker who has over 10 years of experience working with newborns and their families. Her unique perspective on family centered care comes from a compilation of knowledge that she gained by working in a Level III NICU, as a postpartum doula, as a lactation consultant and a body worker. Her philosophy is that every family should feel they are thriving, not just surviving, the adjustment to adding a new baby to the family. While a lot of her time is focused on the first three months after delivery, her support can span years as the family unit is ever evolving. Her specialties include oral function, assessment for oral restriction (aka lip/tongue ties), tension release with CFT, post NICU graduates, multiples, and medically complex infants. The most important factors that drive the care you will receive from Liz are 1) what are you goals as a family and 2) what is the root cause of any struggle you are experiencing. There will be no band-aid fixes provided and nothing short of comprehensive care provided. It would be an honor to be included in your postpartum journey!

Hello! I’m so happy to be here. After 14 years of experience as a nanny, I’m excited to bring my love for newborns and families into my work now as a postpartum doula. Helping parents navigate those early days and weeks with a new baby is truly one of my favorite things.

I’m also a Certified Lactation Consultant, and I especially enjoy supporting parents with breastfeeding and helping them feel confident as they find what works best for themselves and their baby.

I absolutely adore working with babies, and their safety and well-being are always my top priorities.
