Hi, I’m Avery. I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and, most importantly, a mom to two little ones who inspired my passion for supporting families during the early stages of parenthood. My own experiences with motherhood showed me just how beautiful, overwhelming, and transformative this season can be. I know firsthand how much parents want to simply soak in those newborn moments without feeling stressed, confused, or alone when feeding challenges arise. That understanding is what led me to this work. I truly believe that lactation support is not a luxury. It is a vital part of prenatal and postpartum care. Every family deserves access to compassionate, evidence-based, and affordable support during such a vulnerable and important time. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and supported as you navigate feeding your baby. Whether you’re preparing during pregnancy, working through challenges, or simply looking for reassurance, I’m here to listen, guide, and help you find what works best for you and your baby.

Avery is so sweet, encouraging & makes you feel comfortable! She handles your baby with care & pays attention to what you need help with. She recommended some exercises to do for my baby & advice on how to relieve some pain I had from a shallow latch. It’s also a huge plus that she will come to your home! So nice to not have to go anywhere & be in the comfort of your home.

Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula | Childbirth Educator | Lactation Specialist As a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, I provide calm, nurturing, and evidence-based support for families through pregnancy, birth, and the newborn stage. My goal is to help parents feel informed, confident, and cared for every step of the way. Grant + Leah 2/20/2026 "Mari was assigned to us as a replacement doula when our original doula had a conflicting delivery. Mari immediately reached out and was flexible to our needs in early labor. My wife was laboring hard in triage for 7 hours (there was a major rush at the hospital, we couldn't get a room or her planned epidural for that long) and doesn't know how she would have coped without Mari. She immediately brought a calm presence to our situation while also helping us get the situation under control and manage contractions with various techniques. Mari also helped us execute on our birth plan and encouraged us to get rest whenever possible. We would recommend Mari to anybody seeking a doula."

I truly cannot recommend my doula enough. She was by my side throughout my entire pregnancy journey, always there whenever I needed her—and often before I even realized I did. No question, concern, or doubt was ever too small. She patiently answered everything, reassured me, and helped prepare me both physically and mentally for a natural birth. She even provided monthly massages and other techniques that helped me feel more comfortable throughout my pregnancy. But my greatest gratitude is for everything she did during my labor. When my contractions started in the middle of the night, she came to my home at 2 a.m. without hesitation. She stayed with me through every single contraction, helping me cope with hip squeezes, lower back pressure, massage, acupuncture, labor combs, and a TENS machine. She continuously adjusted her techniques to help ease my pain and keep me focused. Around 9 a.m., we went to the hospital together, and she remained by my side for the entire labor until my baby was born. She stayed with me until 11 p.m., never leaving me alone. She advocated for me, made sure my birth preferences were respected, and did everything she could to make the experience as calm, positive, and empowering as possible. What makes her truly exceptional is her compassion. She doesn’t treat this as just a job—you can genuinely feel how deeply she cares about the mothers she supports. She gives her whole heart to making your pregnancy, labor, and birth experience as beautiful and comfortable as possible. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy, and I honestly can’t imagine going through labor without her. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and incredibly caring doula, I recommend her with all my heart.

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!!

I found Lana through my insurance when my daughter and I were struggling with breastfeeding, and I truly wish I had connected with her sooner! Working with her has completely transformed my breastfeeding experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable and provided clear, thoughtful guidance that helped us address our challenges and see real improvement. Her combination of virtual and in-home visits is so convenient. I’m very grateful for her support and can’t recommend her enough!

My name is Aarani Montanari and I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with a passion for helping mamas, babies and families on their feeding journeys and the transition to new parenthood. My passion for helping moms began when I experienced my own difficult transition to motherhood in 2021. I struggled with breastfeeding my son and subsequently struggled with postpartum anxiety and depression. Finding an amazing IBCLC to help me reach my breastfeeding goals as well as finding a support system of new moms saved me and helped me discover the joy in motherhood. It is this experience that inspired me to become an IBCLC - I know how much of a difference it can make to have support in this vulnerable transition time to motherhood and I want you to know I am here for you every step of the way. I cannot wait to meet you and your sweet little one!

Highly recommend Aarani! A a doula and doula agency owner, I'm very intentional about the perinatal colleagues we refer to and invite to teach classes in our space, as trust and confidence in someone's approach is everything. I love Aarani's relatability, her patience, her evidence-based & trauma-informed, inclusive approach, and I feel reassured families are getting the best support when they learn from her prenatally, work together postpartum, etc. Aarani also leads an interdisciplinary feeding support group at our perinatal wellness collaborative, and she most recently, she led a mind-blowing yet accessible interactive session at our first ever doula retreat. Aarani's humor, go with the flow yet pay attention to it all style is the dream combination for families and doulas alike. We love you!

Hi!!! My name is Megan Weimer and I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and the founder of Love & Leche Lactation, serving families in southern Chester County, PA and the surrounding tri-state area. I support families through prenatal and postpartum feeding with a calm, practical, and evidence-based approach. With a background in Industrial Engineering, I bring a problem-solving mindset to lactation care, helping parents understand not just what is happening with feeding, but why. As both an IBCLC and a parent of two whom I breastfed, I understand how personal and emotional feeding can be. My goal is to meet families where they are, honor their feeding goals, and provide supportive, judgment-free care that helps parents feel informed and confident.

Recent review

Megan at Breezy Babies was so helpful with breastfeeding! She brought her own scale to measure baby's weight before and after feeding him to see how much he ate. We discussed tongue tie relief options and breast care to avoid mastitis. She recommended things like breast gymnastics, lymphatic draining, pumping best practices when you have an oversupply, icing, and probiotics for me and baby while I’m on an antibiotic. We have already seen such an improvement with latching and breast comfort. I am so glad I reached out to Megan! And my insurance even covered the visits! Always a plus. I would 10/10 recommend Megan and Breezy Babies!!

It's said that breastfeeding a baby is the most natural thing in the world, but it doesn't always come naturally. Like many new parents, I experienced a few challenges while breastfeeding my own children. I want to help others avoid or overcome similar difficulties, if possible. The nursing dyad is such a special relationship and I want as many people as possible to get a chance to experience it. Here in America, lactation consultants are often the only health professional visiting a new family in their home, and sometimes we are the only health care worker seeing a new mom in the first six weeks postpartum. I feel really lucky to be one of the first people to meet the new baby! An IBCLC is a unique professional for your family's unique needs. We are small parts sister, friend, nurse, doula, nutritionist, therapist, parenting coach, biology teacher, and detective! We are an important part of your postpartum support system!

I wish I could give Sharla 10 stars!! Her communication is exceptional - from the first outreach for scheduling, in person, and after our appointments she was responsive and timely (even if I texted her at 9 PM on a Friday, sorry Sharla!). She is a perfect mix of professional and kind which made it so comfortable. She is extremely knowledgeable and the variety of suggestions and tools she explained and offered was so uplifting and really took the fear out of the experience we were having. Happy to also report her suggestions solved our bottle refusal after a few weeks!

Amanda’s classes were essential for my pregnancy and postnatal education. Her six week course was in-depth and covered labor, deliver, birth and baby care. I had a clear idea of how I wanted labor to go and all that changed once I went into labor. Her classes enabled me and my partner to make informed decisions in the moment that were not driven by fear. I would also highly recommend booking lactation support from Amanda for the first week you are home and beyond. Even if you don’t think you need it, you will! She came to our house the first week we were home which was amazing for a recovering mama. Her continued support has been wonderful for a first time parent.

I have been a registered nurse for almost 30 years helping women & their children, including babies in the Intensive Care Nursery at a major urban hospital. Lactation and education have always been a part of my nursing career. As a board certified lactation consultant, I am in network with a vast number of colleagues, who may be consulted with your permission for challenging cases. I believe that breastfeeding is a relationship between a mother and her child, but it is not necessarily without its learning curves, for both mom and baby! If you or your baby are not happy on your breastfeeding journey, please consider making an appointment. I would be honored to help you, and no issue is too small. In fact, moms usually remark, “Why didn’t I do this earlier!” Click on the My Philosophy link to learn more about me.

Peggy was wonderful, I wish I saw her sooner. By time I booked an appointment I was convinced nursing had gone downhill and doubtful we'd recover. Peggy was very calm and thorough, encouraging from the start. She really listened to me and addressed my concerns. She showed me aspects of my baby's anatomy that could potentially be an issue and then did a weighed feed, offering corrections to my technique. She also helped me with pumping and was very patient with all of my questions and my initial disbelief that things were actually ok. I feel far calmer and feedings are shorter now that I don't drag them out thinking I'll get the baby more milk, and the position she showed me helps the baby more efficiently feed too. My baby actually seems happier more often too, I assume because feedings are more comfortable her and I'm more relaxed in general, and when she is upset or cluster feeding I can handle it better as I feel more confident. It's amazing what some minor corrections and encouragement did. I highly recommend Peggy and will go back to her as needed.
