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.

Megan has been a tremendous help throughout my breastfeeding and pumping journey. She is friendly, down-to-earth, and incredibly knowledgeable, and I felt comfortable with her right away. She has helped me with so many things I simply didn’t know about, including proper flange fitting, getting the most output from my pump, breastfeeding positions, improving my daughter’s latch, and navigating a breastfeeding journey that works best for my family. I really appreciate that her guidance is practical and individualized to what works for us. After every session, I leave with a clear plan and helpful resources. I only wish I had found Megan sooner and scheduled with her before my baby arrived. She has been an incredible resource, and I would highly recommend her to any new or expecting mom!

My name is Kristen. I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and pediatric Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with over 10 years of experience in hospitals, NICUs, community programs, early intervention, feeding therapy, WIC, and private practice. I currently spend time working in feeding/nutrition therapy for kiddos birth through 3 years old, then see clients for lactation education & support in home and virtual visits through my private practice, The Lactation Mentor. I have a strong clinical background and practice evidence-based care, but in a way that prioritizes your family’s unique needs. As a dietitian, I have had the absolute privilege of walking alongside families through every possible feeding scenario, and I believe this has shaped how I practice as a lactation consultant. I know and deeply believe that every feeding journey is unique, and there is no wrong way to feed your baby if you are given the tools and information to make informed decisions that work for your family. I have an empathetic and therapeutic counseling style, but I’m also a total goofball with a little touch of sarcasm. I never take life (or myself) too seriously, because life is too short to not be laughing! When we work together, you’ll find me making complex topics easy and fun by giving you relatable examples using a teaching style that meets you where you are. I am a fierce advocate and want you to have all the tools you need to be able to advocate for yourself. I know that, for you to be successful at this, you need to make a plan that works for you. I want to empower you to have the confidence to navigate the ups and downs of lactation even long after we’re done working together. I believe you have the right to make informed decisions in a medical system where the odds are unfortunately often stacked against you meeting your lactation goals. That’s where I come in! You’ve got this, and I’ve got you. Outside of my day to day, I am an avid reader, yogi, and artist, and enjoy exploring new coffee shops and breweries with my husband and our dog, where we live outside of Philadelphia, PA.

I cannot recommend Kristen and the Lactation Mentor enough! I struggled so much with my first baby (only made it 4 months breastfeeding - so many clogged ducts/almost mastitis even with 2 local lactation specialists) and was highly recommended by a mom friend to connect with Kristen before I had my second baby. Kristen was the BEST resource and investment for our family and I cannot thank her enough. My husband and I truly believe we have a healthier baby/mom/family because she walked with me to prepare for the hardest season of motherhood postpartum. Her program gave me the tools I needed to prepare before my baby came, but her heart was what walked with me every step. She is the most genuine, passionate, human being, and I am truly honored to know her. Preparation brings peace, and Kristen prepared me to the point where I knew what to do. My goal was 6 months breastfeeding. I am now 15 months and counting breastfeeding my little one! She helped me build my confidence as a mom and became the first in my family to breastfeed (I came from a formula only family). I have a healthy baby and am much healtheir mom, and truly think she’s making a huge difference for so many mamas and babies (alongside Taylor - I was so happy they created a program and wish this was a standard for every mom!) Thank you Kristen! ❤️😭

I am a Certified Postpartum Doula and Infant Care Specialist with extensive experience in infant care. My journey began in childcare as a Certified Teacher, and I have cared for up to eight babies at a time daily for over four years. I have worked with multiples, including twins and triplets, and have experience as a home care Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), supporting preemie infants and NICU graduates who needed extra at-home care. In addition, I have worked as a private nanny, providing personalized care to families. Coming from a large family, I have been caring for babies for as long as I can remember, which naturally led me to the world of infant care. I am passionate about my work as a doula, knowing that doulas make a real difference in the community. I truly enjoy supporting families and ensuring they receive the care they deserve. I would be honored to help support your family during your postpartum period!

Recent review

We hired Naomi as i postpartum doula in January throughout the 12 weeks, Naomi consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of the needs of both the newborn and the new parents. Her ability to create a calm and comforting environment during the nighttime hours allowed my partner and I to get the essential rest we needed to navigate the challenges of early parenthood. Naomi's knowledge of postpartum recovery, breastfeeding support, and soothing techniques for infants was very useful to us. Naomi's professionalism, punctuality, and reliability was evident throughout the entire duration of her service. She communicated effectively, ensuring that we were always on the same page regarding our daughter's care and any specific concerns or preferences we had. In summary, I cannot speak highly enough of Naomi and her outstanding skills as a postpartum doula. We’d be happy to recommend Naomi to anyone in need of support during there postpartum journey!

Hi I'm Chris! I'm super passionate about all things birth. I'm a birth and postpartum doula and a lactation councelor. I have 4 grown children, I was a sign language interpreter many years ago, and worked in a local church for 20 years. I was incredibly nieve and uninformed when I had my children and it is my hearts desire to support moms through pregnancy and birth as well as those first few months after baby is born. I have no preconcieved notions as to how your birth should or should not go. I believe in supporting you in the way that fits you the best while informing you of all your options. I am excited to be following my passion and I look forward to sharing it with you.

Chris was my birth doula, and let me say I would not have had the confidence to do an unmedicated birth as a first time mom without her support, knowledge, and guidance. Chris is EXTREMELY passionate about what she does and it is evident upon any interaction with her. She provided me with many tools to use not only while in labor, but also for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum. She made herself available to answer any questions I had, even post birth. She is tremendously supportive to any and all decisions you as a mom-to-be. She will not try to persuade you into something else. She makes it very clear it is YOUR birth and she is there to fully support you! If you are considering using Chris as a doula…please don’t think twice!! She is an incredible person..the sweetest woman you will ever meet and extremely knowledgeable! Thank you Chris!!!!

Hello. My name is Harmony and I am a Certified Lamaze Childbirth Educator, Certified Lacatation Counselor and Birth Doula. I am a former elementary teacher and the love of teaching continues in my evidence based childbirth classes. After having my 3rd child, my love of supporting birthing people blossomed. With continuous support, education and tools to help you advocate for yourself, you will have the birth you want. I service South Jersey, Parts of PA and Delaware. My office is located upstairs at Sicklerville Chiropractic.

Recent review

Harmony's assistance was invaluable to us during my pregnancy, labor, delivery, and post partum. She helped me to understand a lot of the processes both that my body would go through and that the medical system would put me through, which was incredibly helpful in making more informed decisions and planning for what would be an unorthodox birth. Harmony helped me flesh out my birth plan more completely, which helped me to feel more in control when the time came to make medical decisions. Additionally, she was there through a significant portion of my LONG labor and assisted not only with that process, but also with providing support to my teenage daughter, who was present for labor and who experienced some anxiety because of it. She video called with me in the hospital during my recovery to help me navigate caring for my babies and preparing for breastfeeding despite their need for NICU treatment. Harmony went above and beyond to connect me with someone who could help me with the challenges of breastfeeding twins when I struggled post-partum. We truly cannot imagine what this process would've looked like without her and would (and already have!) recommended her highly to friends and family!

I enjoy empowering families, promoting health, and fostering resilience for birth moms.

Recent review

I loved my experience with Alisha. From the start to the ending. Talking to her about the pregnancy use to bring me comfort. She gave me plenty of resources while pregnant and after I gave birth. During birth she was extra supportive. Even tho my birth plan did not go as plan she stuck by myself my whole c section and held my hand. 23 hours in labor she kept me calm bringing games and everything to keep my mind calm. I just overall appreciate her and if I ever had another baby I would want her as my doula again. 5 stars isn’t enough to rate her. She more like a million stars. Thank you so much for the experience and the comfort you bought through out the experience. And I appreciate you.

I'm a lactation consultant located in Wilmington, Delaware and a single mother to two sons. Yes, I nursed them both. (Yes, for years.) I’m passionate about many things, one of the primary being mothers and people who birth babies. Helping them discover how amazing their bodies are through breastfeeding is deeply fulfilling, as is accompanying couples as they learn to parent together, growing closer and becoming stronger. While you are with me, you will experience total attention from a kind and non-judgmental listener. My goal is to help you feel confident in the choices you are making, whatever they are. We will find a way to keep you and your baby safe, happy, and healthy, however that looks for you. At The Golden Hour, you belong.

Rachel is a godsend!!! This is my second child, so I thought breastfeeding would be “easy”. But this breastfeeding journey has thrown every type of hurdle at us. Rachel has been our biggest supporter throughout every challenge - helping us navigate ties, bottle refusal, mastitis, low weight gain, low supply. I was able to build my supply up and establish a good breastfeeding rhythm that supports my baby and myself all through Rachel’s guidance. Her knowledge and research on breastfeeding guidelines is outstanding, yet her approach is far from clinical. Her demeanor is warm and inviting, and she always makes sure to check in on how we’re doing overall, not just from a feeding perspective. I truly do not know where I would be in my breastfeeding journey or postpartum without her, and I’m so grateful to have to opportunity to work with her.

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.
