Tuve una experiencia excelente con mi asesora de lactancia, Claudia Soto. Siempre fue muy amable, paciente y comprensiva, lo que hizo que todo el proceso de la lactancia fuera mucho más llevadero y tranquilo para mí. Su profesionalismo y compromiso fueron excepcionales. Se aseguró de responder todas mis dudas y preguntas durante cada sesión sin hacerme sentir apresurada. Además, me dio la confianza de poder escribirle en cualquier momento si surgía alguna inquietud, y siempre estuvo disponible para orientarme. Gracias a su apoyo, me sentí mucho más segura y acompañada en esta etapa tan importante. La recomiendo ampliamente!

Barbara is my lactation angel. She is calm, patient, personable, and very knowledgeable in her field. As a first time mom, I struggled with my milk supply and had no idea what I was doing. There were times I had a mental breakdown and Barbara was always supportive and so easy to contact, even in the wee hours in the morning and when she is off. My breastfeeding journey was tough but thanks to her, I am now fully breastfeeding my babe and going strong at 7 months! She has also helped me gain confidence. Barbara is such a blessing to nursing mamas like me and I am forever indebted to her.

Sabrina De La Rosa

7 years of experience

Welcome! I’m Sabrina de la Rosa, an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), dedicated to supporting mothers and babies on their breastfeeding journey. As a mother of four, all of whom I breastfed, I understand the challenges and joys that come with breastfeeding. My passion for lactation began in 2016, inspired by my own experience as a new mother. This led me to become a breastfeeding support volunteer, and ultimately to pursue certification as an IBCLC. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Maternal Child Health from UI&U, which deepened my understanding of the unique needs of mothers and infants. For over 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching pilates and wellness practices to women in my community, blending my love for fitness with my commitment to health. This holistic approach to well-being is the foundation of my lactation practice. Through my private practice, Nature’s Nectar Lactation Support, I offer personalized, compassionate lactation care to mothers and babies in the Rio Grande Valley. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to achieve your breastfeeding goals. Whether you are struggling with latch issues, low milk supply, or just need guidance along the way, I am here to help. I also work with the State of Texas through the Department of Public Health, advocating for maternal and infant health and supporting families in achieving optimal health outcomes. Living in Texas with my husband and four children, I am deeply honored to serve my community and help mothers achieve success with breastfeeding. I believe that breastfeeding is not just about nourishment—it’s about creating a powerful bond between mother and child. I look forward to supporting you and your baby on this incredible journey.

— Zaira D., review of Claudia Soto July 2026

Estoy extremadamente agradecida con Claudia. Una de las cosas que más me llamó la atención es que ella va a tu casa a atenderte, y eso hace que una se sienta más cómoda. Claudia es experta en su trabajo, desde enseñarte cómo pegarte a tu bebé hasta orientarte sobre las extractoras y qué copas usar según tu talla. Desde el primer día llegó bien preparada con todos sus productos y se tomó el tiempo conmigo para sentarse, escucharme y entender qué era lo que estaba pasando y cómo me sentía. Aún así, si tengo cualquier duda, le puedo mandar mensaje cualquier día y siempre está disponible para ayudarte. Yo batallé mucho con mi producción y con el agarre, y gracias a ella ahora ya puedo dar pecho a libre demanda. Siempre voy a estar agradecida con ella, ya que mi sueño siempre fue dar pecho. Gracias, Claudia, por guiarme en este proceso que fue difícil para mí, pero no imposible gracias a ti. Cuando quise darme por vencida, siempre estuviste ahí para darme ánimos. Sin duda eres una excelente persona y alguien que realmente se preocupa por sus pacientes. Ahora podré vivir un proceso muy bonito con mi bebé!

— Vanessa S., review of Claudia Soto May 2026

I had such a wonderful experience working with this lactation consultant. From the very beginning, she was incredibly encouraging and gave me the motivation I needed during a time when I was feeling unsure of myself. Thanks to her guidance and support, I was able to successfully increase my milk supply, which made a huge difference for both me and my baby. What really stood out to me was how detail-oriented she is—especially when it comes to breast pumps. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly and helped me understand what would work best for my specific needs. It made the whole process feel much less overwhelming. She was also extremely reliable and always there when I needed her. Whether I had a quick question or a bigger concern, she would respond promptly—either by text or a phone call—which made me feel supported every step of the way. It’s clear that she truly cares and genuinely wants the best for both mom and baby. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone needing lactation support.
