Welcome to Mother Trees. I am a Registered Nurse, Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Pre and Perinatal Psychology Educator and Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapist., located in Newcastle, WA. Birthing a new soul is a sacred rite of passage. In our busy world we have forgotten how to be fully present to receive this gift. Unfortunately, most hospital births feel far from empowering or sacred. Deliveries are often induced, creating a faster paced timeline that can make communication between mom and baby more confusing and difficult. Taking time to slow down and listen deeply to your baby, your partner and yourself can be immensely rewarding. It is not what we normally do, so having a guide is helpful. This is the service I’ve been providing to new parents for more than 30 years. I have worked with thousands of breastfeeding families in hospital and home settings. It brings me great joy to provide support and direction during your transition into parenting.

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

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.

The Latch Link was founded to give mothers access to skilled, personalized lactation care that goes far beyond basic breastfeeding support.

Today, The Latch Link is a nationwide virtual lactation practice providing evidence-based breastfeeding and infant-feeding support from highly trained consultants. The team combines clinical expertise with a whole-mother approach, focusing on both feeding and the emotional and physical realities of new motherhood. All visits are conducted via secure telehealth and are typically covered 100% by major insurance plans, allowing families to meet with their consultant from the comfort of home with no added stress. From pregnancy through weaning, The Latch Link supports parents with everything from latch and milk supply to pumping, bottle feeding, oral function concerns, and more. The mission is simple: to give every mother the clarity, confidence, and support she deserves — no judgment, no confusion, just truly skilled care.

I operate a birthing practice. 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!
