Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Charleston, WV

I am a Christian Functional Midwife serving birth in the home setting through the Mid-Ohio Valley and surrounding areas, including multiple Amish & Mennonite communities. I provide care through a Private Health Ministry which allows me to serve families the way they need and desire, through mutual and informed decision making. I have a holistic herbal and traditional approach to midwifery support with a focus in life-long health through Functional Wellness, pre-conception fertility balancing, and advanced midwifery skills. One of the most beautiful transformations to witness is a family that desires loving support, is ready to implement information shared, and experiences the deep impact that accepting autonomous responsibility has on the spiritual journey. I led perinatal education classes as well as a Breastfeeding & Birth Support group in the MOV for over 10 years while occasionally providing doula services prior to transitioning to midwifery care in 2018. I have attended over 200 births; over 150 as the primary midwife since 2020.

I have been a Registered Nurse for 24 years with most of my experience being in Labor and Delivery, Postpartum and Pediatrics. My experience in these settings inspired me to become a Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) to be able to help my patients as much as possible. I have now been practicing as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant for almost 5 years. I love to be able to help new mothers and babies with any obstacles they have in their breastfeeding journeys. I am a Navy Wife and mother of two grown children.

My goal is to provide compassionate, expert in-home & virtual support for lactation and infant feeding challenges. I specialize in breast pumps & flange fitting, tethered oral tissue (include tongue ties), oral rehabilitation, engorgement, mastitis, nipple pain & damage, and much more! We proudly offer services that are neurodivergent-friendly, LGBTQ+ inclusive, and aligned with Health at Every Size (HAES) principals. Our mission is to empower parents to meet their feeding goals while feeling supported, accepted, and truly seen.

Hi! I’m Sylvia Gainey, a Certified Breastfeeding Counselor (CBC), Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS), and Certified Lactation Specialist (CLS). I’m also a mom of four, and my own challenging breastfeeding experience with my first baby is what inspired me to pursue a career supporting other mothers on their feeding journeys. Through my business, Peace of Mind Lactation, I provide compassionate, judgment-free breastfeeding and pumping support tailored to each family’s individual needs. I have experience supporting families with latch difficulties, milk supply concerns, pumping, returning to work, bottle feeding, engorgement, relactation, and more. My approach is centered around education, realistic solutions, and helping parents feel confident rather than overwhelmed. I believe every breastfeeding journey looks different, and families deserve to feel heard, supported, and empowered to make informed decisions. My goal is to bring a little more peace of mind to what can sometimes feel like an overwhelming season of parenthood.
