Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Downingtown, PA

I am an IBCLC mom of 3 teenage girls who struggled with breastfeeding myself. I became very passionate about breastfeeding and helping other moms throughout their journey. I currently work in the prenatal, postpartum, and outpatient setting for all ages and variety of circumstances. I assist with any breastfeeding journey that best suits your life and judgement free.

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.

Hi! I am a dedicated provider with over a decade of experience as a maternal child health nurse. Since becoming a certified International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2016, I have passionately devoted my career to supporting breastfeeding families, particularly in underserved communities. I have lived in New Jersey, Colorado, and Pennsylvania, and until the last year have worked in FQHC's and postpartum hospital floors. My work is deeply rooted in a holistic approach to birth and lactation, aligning with my personal philosophy and experiences. As a mother who breastfed my eldest daughter for two years (with a tongue tie!) and continues to nurse my toddler, I bring a wealth of personal and professional insight to my practice. I am excited about the prospect of tandem nursing my middle while pregnant with a third. My commitment to empowering families through compassionate, evidence-based care is matched by my enthusiasm for fostering environments where holistic and informed choices about breastfeeding and infant care are celebrated. A blend of professional expertise and personal experience uniquely positions me to support and inspire families on their breastfeeding journeys.

Hi, I’m Bri ! I am a DONA-certified doula who specializes in what happens after the baby arrives. Because let’s be honest, postpartum is hard, and you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone. I’m here for the sleepless nights, the emotional waves, the questions you’re afraid to ask, and everything in between. I also support families in building birth plans they actually feel confident about including C-section preparation, so nothing catches you off guard. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, judgment-free, and genuinely in your corner. When you work with me, you feel it. I became a doula because I know what it feels like to need support and not have it. That experience drives everything I do. When you work with me, you can expect real, hands-on care such as help with newborn feeding, recovery support, emotional check-ins, and someone who actually listens. No scripts, no rushing you along. And if you’re sitting there feeling scared or overwhelmed; that’s exactly who I’m here for.
