Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Buckhorn, ON

I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with more than 25 years experience. I have worked internationally to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding/chestfeeding. My strong clinical skills are coupled with program development, evaluation, and not-for-profit experience. My unique skill set allows me to offer a comprehensive healthcare approach to families. Family-centred care is the cornerstone of my service. I adopt a holistic approach to understand all factors that may impact the breastfeeding dyad, and I strive to provide culturally concordant healthcare. A lactation consultant is an essential member of a prenatal and family healthcare team. They play a pivotal role in infant feeding, particularly breastfeeding. I can support families in preparing to breastfeed, address feeding challenges (including supplementation), and offer continued guidance until weaning. I strive to protect maternal-child health, promote emotional well-being, and empower families to navigate the complexities of breastfeeding. Furthermore, my dedication to family-centred healthcare was strengthened when I completed a Diploma in Herbal Medicine from England. I offer one-on-one herbal consultations to mothers in the perinatal period. During the consultation, mothers are given a space to express their current health concerns.

I’m a birth & postpartum doula and infant sleep consultant with 15+ years working with families. I’ve attended over 500 birth and worked with thousands of families caring for newborns overnight to allow parents to get a good nights sleep. Feel free to reach out for more information. 905-706-8358

Hello and welcome to Flowerbud Lactation! My name is Amanda and I am a lactation consultant with a background in Neonatal ICU and pediatrics nursing.

I am dedicated to creating a safe and comfortable space for parents to share their experiences and seek guidance. At Flowerbud Lactation, we provide personalized care and support to help families achieve their feeding goals.

Welcome! I’m Jessica Rogers. I am a Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Certified Lactation Counselor with a deep passion for supporting families through one of the most powerful journeys of their lives: pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I was trained through DONA International and am actively working towards birth and postpartum certification. I was certified as a lactation counselor by the ALPP after completing the Center for Breastfeeding course and passing the exam. My own experience becoming a mother ignited this calling in me, and it grew even stronger during my second pregnancy. This season can be transformative, overwhelming and beautiful all at once, and you do not have to go through it alone. As your doula, I will be a dedicated and compassionate support system, someone who not only respects you but also walks beside you like a trusted friend throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. I bring a calm presence, a good sense of humor, and a listening ear when you need it most. I am a hard worker who believes in your strength and am here to support you and your family every step of the way. When I am not supporting families, you can find me spending time with my amazing husband, children, family and friends, exercising, reading, meal prepping, hanging out with our chickens or gardening. I also happen to love spiders and have a new hobby that includes two jumping spiders and a tarantula - weird, maybe, but I love them and have always had a soft spot for exotic pets (and nature in general). I also have a Bachelors Degree in Interior Design from RIT, and spent the previous ~12 years working in the field until the birth of my second baby. I love seeing women empowered through this incredible experience and I would be honored to be a part of your team. I serve the Rochester, NY area hospitals and provide postpartum support to those within 25 minutes from my home in Hilton, NY. I truly look forward to working with you!
