Candice Echeverria, IBCLC

10 years of experience
Accepts insurance

Hey! My name is Candice Echeverria, and I have been a lactation consultant for nearly ten years. I first began working as a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist in 2016, then received my International Board Certification in 2023. I am also a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Counselor, Certified Patient Advocate, and am pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have helped hundreds of families overcome basic to more severe breastfeeding and infant feeding challenges working in the home, hospital, and virtually throughout the world. I love what I do and I would love to be a part of your family’s postpartum and feeding journey! My goal is to make you feel safe and comfortable expressing whatever your concerns might be, so we can process the emotions and feelings that are tied to what you are experiencing. We will go over all of your questions, find solutions for whatever might be bringing you discomfort, and move forward with plans of action that make you feel as calm and confident in caring for your baby as possible. I hope to help you understand the basic functions of breastfeeding, relax in positions that are stress- and pain-free, and help you design a feeding plan that works best for you and your family. Hopefully, we'll get some laughs in there, too! I look forward to meeting you and working with your family. With Love & Liquid Gold, Candice N. Echeverria, IBCLC, Perinatal Mental Health Counselor, Patient Advocate, and Proud Single Mama of two beautiful breastfed babies ☺️

Recent review

I had such a wonderful experience working with Candice. From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. She answered every question I had with patience and made me feel completely comfortable during a time that can feel overwhelming for new moms. One of the things I appreciated most was that she came to my home. Being able to get help in my own environment made such a difference because she could see exactly how I was feeding, pumping, and positioning the baby in real life. It made the support feel much more practical and personalized. She was also extremely accessible and responsive. Whenever I had questions after our visit, she was available by text and always took the time to respond with thoughtful advice and reassurance. What I loved most was that she didn't just focus on me, she included my partner as well. She showed him helpful techniques and tips so he could support the process too, which made us feel like a team. We were struggling with latch/clicking sounds during feeding and thinking there was a possible tongue/lip tie and uncertain who to go to and how to go about getting it checked out. Candice gave us great recommendations for trusted specialists to follow up with. Having that guidance made navigating everything so much easier. I truly can't recommend her enough. Her kindness, knowledge, and ongoing support made a huge difference in our breastfeeding journey.
