Hi! I’m Natasha Mizner, RN, BSN, IBCLC and the Founder and Co-Owner of Good Life Lactation! I started my career working at the bedside as a mother/baby RN for 10 years. Helping thousands of breastfeeding dyads in those first few days after birth made me realize the importance of education and support for families in the postpartum period. Since 2021, I have experience in both the hospital setting and private practice as a lactation consultant. I opened Good Life Lactation in 2022 with the goal of providing non-judgmental, evidence based, quality support to families. In 2024, I brought Emily on as a co-owner to be able to reach more families. My husband and I have three daughters ages 11, 7 and 2. Our youngest gave us a challenge as an infant. We worked through silent reflux, oral dysfunction, bottle difficulties, weight gain concerns and had her tethered oral tissues released. It was a difficult first 6 months, but we made it through and she is thriving. As part of my commitment to providing the best possible support, I am passionate about continuing my education and staying up-to-date with the latest research and techniques in lactation consulting. I have advanced training in oral habilitation and tethered oral tissues (tongue/lip ties). When I hear stories about families who have gone through breastfeeding difficulties with little to no support- the potentially avoidable stress, pain and guilt that they experienced breaks my heart. Families deserve better! While I can't promise to solve all issues or guarantee a flawless feeding journey, I can offer my support and expertise to guide you. I consider it an honor to help families navigate feeding their little ones.

I am in-network with many insurance plans for lactation support as an IBCLC and work with The Lactation Network for insurance coverage verification and billing.

Along with birth doula services, I provide Webster-certified prenatal chiropractic care, postpartum recovery support, and professional lactation consultations.

I proudly serve families throughout Kennesaw, Marietta, Acworth, Woodstock, Smyrna, and the greater Atlanta area. I'd be honored to be part of your birth team! 🤍

My name is Maggie Mau, and I am a mom of two girls and two very sweet rescue pups, Hopper and Eleven. My partner is a longtime teacher for Saint Paul Public Schools and we have lived in the South Como neighborhood in Saint Paul for the last 15 years! As a family we enjoy camping, hiking and exploring our country’s beautiful national parks. It is not odd to find us hammocking up at Como park, picking mulberries and reading :) I enjoy running, gardening, reading and baking and hosting regular gatherings of family and friends. I have been in the Twin Cities nonprofit sector my whole career, and the passion that I feel for the success of individuals and families in our community is now being carried forward in a different, but equally important way – through the support and empowerment of families as they navigate their birth journeys. I believe in leading with empathy and deep listening, in order to best support families to create their own powerful birth experiences. I feel humbled and honored to be able to share space and offer support to you - the amazing parents and parents to be!

Hello everyone! My name is Parul, and I’m a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula based in Chicago, Illinois. I’m originally from Mississippi and have called Chicago home since 2009. I’m also a proud mom to a 21-year-old son! My journey into doula work grew from my passion for holistic wellness, mental health, and the connection between mind, body, and soul. Before becoming a doula, I worked as a holistic practitioner specializing in mental wellness and food as medicine, and these passions continue to influence the way I support families today. I believe nourishment, education, emotional well-being, and feeling supported all play an important role in the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. I especially enjoy supporting mothers who desire an unmedicated birth and helping them feel prepared, confident, and empowered through education, comfort measures, and holistic practices. I also love incorporating my knowledge of nutrition, Ayurveda, and mindfulness into my work with families. Outside of doula work, I love traveling, cooking, discovering new foods and cultures, and spending quality time with my friends and family. I’m a big believer in enjoying life’s experiences, continuing to learn, and always finding ways to grow both personally and professionally.

Greetings! I am Edine, a certified and licensed midwife, lactation consultant, and Spinning Babies Aware Practitioner. My midwifery philosophy emphasizes respect for the natural process of birth and the dignity of the mother and child, viewing pregnancy and birth as normal life events. My goal is to play a vital role in providing care for families in need, particularly in underserved areas where access to holistic care is limited. I respect and welcome healthcare rooted in traditional practices, beliefs, and values passed down through generations.

Hi, I’m Denisse Mejia, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), mom of two girls, and founder of Texas Breastfeeding Center. My connection to lactation began long before it became my career—I grew up watching and learning from my mother, who was also a lactation consultant, and later experienced motherhood and breastfeeding for myself. Those experiences shaped the way I care for families today: with compassion, curiosity, and an understanding that feeding a baby is about so much more than simply getting a “good latch.” My philosophy is that families deserve evidence-based information without judgment or pressure. There is no one-size-fits-all version of breastfeeding, postpartum, or parenthood, so I meet parents where they are and help them make informed decisions that feel sustainable for their family. I’m especially passionate about creating a space where parents feel heard, respected, and confident asking questions—whether we’re working through breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, oral function concerns, or simply figuring out what life with a new baby looks like. As a bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking IBCLC, I’m also deeply committed to making quality lactation care feel accessible and culturally responsive for the families I serve.

I’m Sam! I am an internationally board certified lactation consultant as well as a trained postpartum and birth doula. I always knew I wanted to work with babies and families and started off as a professional nanny. Then when I had my first and started breastfeeding I fell in love with it and was such an advocate for everyone to breastfeed. It wasn’t until my 2nd daughter that I even knew lactation consultants were a thing. I got referred to one and when I met her she changed the game. So I went to Henry Ford College to get my certification and graduated from the lactation program in 2022. I understand firsthand the challenges and joys that come with feeding your baby, and I’m here to provide compassionate, personalized care to help you feel confident every step of the way. Every feeding journey is different just like every baby and parent is.

Hi, I’m Avery. I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and, most importantly, a mom to two little ones who inspired my passion for supporting families during the early stages of parenthood. My own experiences with motherhood showed me just how beautiful, overwhelming, and transformative this season can be. I know firsthand how much parents want to simply soak in those newborn moments without feeling stressed, confused, or alone when feeding challenges arise. That understanding is what led me to this work. I truly believe that lactation support is not a luxury. It is a vital part of prenatal and postpartum care. Every family deserves access to compassionate, evidence-based, and affordable support during such a vulnerable and important time. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and supported as you navigate feeding your baby. Whether you’re preparing during pregnancy, working through challenges, or simply looking for reassurance, I’m here to listen, guide, and help you find what works best for you and your baby.

Continuous Labor Support: I’ll be by your side throughout labor, offering physical comfort measures, emotional reassurance, and advocacy so that you feel empowered to make decisions that align with your birth vision. Whether you're birthing at home, in a hospital, or at a birthing center, I'm here to guide you through the process with love and respect. Postpartum Care: After your birth, I offer support to help you transition into new motherhood.

I am deeply committed to helping you feel safe, confident, and supported at every stage of your pregnancy and birth. My approach is non-judgmental and focused on your needs and preferences.

Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula | Certified Childbirth Educator | Certified Lactation Specialist | Certified Placenta Specialist As a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, I provide calm, nurturing, and evidence-based support for families through pregnancy, birth, and the newborn stage. My goal is to help parents feel informed, confident, and cared for every step of the way. Grant + Leah 2/20/2026 "Mari was assigned to us as a replacement doula when our original doula had a conflicting delivery. Mari immediately reached out and was flexible to our needs in early labor. My wife was laboring hard in triage for 7 hours (there was a major rush at the hospital, we couldn't get a room or her planned epidural for that long) and doesn't know how she would have coped without Mari. She immediately brought a calm presence to our situation while also helping us get the situation under control and manage contractions with various techniques. Mari also helped us execute on our birth plan and encouraged us to get rest whenever possible. We would recommend Mari to anybody seeking a doula."

Hello! I am an IBCLC and Speech-Language Pathologist located in the Baltimore area. Ive worked in NICUs and well-baby nurseries for the past 20+ years and have loved every second of it. I am now meeting parents and babies in their homes to provide in home lactation and overall feeding help.

I am a passionate and experienced Lactation Consultant with over 16 years of experience helping women succeed on their breastfeeding journeys. I have always had a passion for learning more about breastfeeding in college and decided to go onto to become an IBCLC shortly after. Once I experienced breastfeeding my four children, I found that each breastfeeding journey was much different. I found that breastfeeding is not just about the benefits and nourishment for the baby, but the empowerment I felt made me more determined to help other moms achieve that same feeling. I received amazing support from other lactation colleagues and my fellow mom-to-mom community, which made me even more equipped to give moms peer and professional support rooted in evidence-based practice. I am dedicated and excited to be providing families with the tools they need to achieve their own personal feeding goals. I offer virtual and home visits for prenatal and postpartum moms, breastfeeding education classes, back to work classes, and nutrition and breastfeeding classes.
