Christina Johnson BSPH, CBD, CPD, CCLS, CLC, IBCLC. I am a mother of two. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health from Wayne State University in 2018. I became a Certified Lactation Counselor in 2018, completed the Clinical and Communication Lactation Specialist training in 2021, and then passed the International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant exam in 2023. I'm certified as a birth and postpartum doula by Lifespan Doulas. Love for my own family and my community has led me to focus on health education, promoting awareness of human lactation, and assisting in extending breastfeeding duration and exclusivity for the families I serve. I am passionate about accessible lactation care and enthusiastic about health and wellness promotion and youth development. My goal is simply to aid others in being healthy and keeping their family healthy. My expertise is in maternal and child health, emphasizing a positive breastfeeding experience and an active family lifestyle. I love to support parents in reaching their breastfeeding goals and guiding them when life circumstances limit their breastfeeding goals. The combination of these values led me to launch Lactation Lighthouse.

Christina was amazing! I was feeling so discouraged with my breastfeeding journey after having mastitis a few times and she was able to help me pinpoint what the causes might be. After meeting with her and following her suggestions i have been mastitis free and truly enjoying my breastfeeding journey. Christina is so knowledgeable, personable, and caring. She took her time with me and baby and made sure all my questions/concerns were addressed. I immediately felt comfortable with her and would use her services again! I highly recommend her!!

Hi I'm Natalie. I am so glad that you're here! I am a board certified lactation consultant and mother of two. My passion is helping families feed their babies and navigate the journey into motherhood. My approach is simple, I meet families where they are at and then I help them grow their vision to meet their feeding goals. Each family is unique and I take care to honor their choices and paths to success. Success looks different for everyone. To me success is achieving a goal, even if it changes along the way, and overcoming challenges and obstacles that might come up. I look forward to working with new families and babies everyday and hope to see you soon!

Recent review

working with Natalie from newborn to over one year has been absolutely invaluable in supporting both me and my baby through the journey of breastfeeding. In those first few days after birth I was at my wits end and in so much pain. She helped me with latch techniques, ensuring my baby was feeding effectively, and addressed any initial challenges like nipple pain, burping and even went over my pump parts to ensure it fit my breast properly. She also educated me on recognizing my baby's feeding cues and offered many solutions for managing issues with my milk production and ensuring my baby was gaining weight. As my baby grew, the consultants continued to guide me through feeding schedules, my transition to working full time and being away from my baby, milk storage, and challenges like teething and growth spurts that sometimes disrupted feeding. She also supported me in transitioning to solid foods when we felt ready and educated me on choking and signs to look for and showing me how to balance breastfeeding with introducing new foods. Throughout the year, her emotional support and expert advice gave me the knowledge and confidence to meet my breastfeeding goals even when I felt this journey was near impossible due to my lack of supply.

I worked with Amber several time when nursing my twins. She was extremely sweet and made me feel like I was talking to a good friend. She was very knowledgeable but also extremely approachable, very different than the hospital IBCLC. She really helped me feel like I was doing well as a mother and her care and support helped me be able to exclusively breastfeeding my twins for the first 10 months of their lives.

Neena was a lifesaver for me and my baby! I was struggling with latching and not making enough milk for my baby. Neena patiently worked with me and my baby until I was confident with latching and helped me boost my milk supply. She also has an online library of videos which she gave me access to so I could learn more about breastfeeding and pumping in my free time. I really liked the videos on pumping and would watch them while feeding at night. Even though Neena gave me some sleep training tips during our time together, I am looking forward to working with her when I am ready to tackle sleep training. I couldn’t have asked for better support—she’s truly amazing!

I’m Laura, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a Bachelor of Science in Maternal and Child Health and Human Lactation. I offer both virtual and in-person consultations, providing breastfeeding Support and infant feeding support to families globally and locally in CSRA, North Augusta, Augusta, Martinez, Evans, Grovetown, and surrounding regions. My specialization includes addressing concerns related to oral function and mobility, nurturing gut-health alongside lactation, tackling challenges such as low milk supply and relactation, optimizing pumping techniques including flange fitting, overcoming bottle feeding difficulties, and supporting families with older babies. These areas aren’t just my skills—they’re also my passion. I’m dedicated to staying informed about the newest updates to ensure every family receives the best care and the most current information available. As both a lactation consultant and a mother to a 9-year-old wild child, I’ve learned that a successful breastfeeding journey involves more than just latch and milk supply. I take a deeper look, seeking to understand the ‘Why?’ behind challenges and to provide compassionate and honest care. I believe in nurturing your ability to advocate for yourself and your family throughout the breastfeeding journey. With each breastfeeding journey being unique and each family having their own goals, you can expect me as your lactation consultant to think outside the box, considering various factors that can influence breastfeeding and infant feeding challenges. Each session with me is dedicated to fostering open conversations, pinpointing emerging issues, and working together to create customized plans that address your individualized needs.

Laura was simply incredible. She helped me with my third baby, when I thought I had things figured out. He was born with pretty severe tongue and lip ties, and had a hard time breastfeeding. Laura was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and kind. She was personable and compassionate, and walked the line between being a friend and being a professional. Laura helped us navigate a frenectomy, projectile vomiting, overproduction, and lots of emotions. We loved her, and cannot recommend her highly enough!
