Find a Lactation Consultant Near Me in Florida

Hey there! My name is Julie Winter. I am board certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and RN. I have been serving moms and babies for 12 years now as a lactation consultant and an RN with all of my focus either in pediatrics or maternal health for the last 18 years. I use my expert assessment skills and knowledge of infant development to guide my families through the journey of caring for their newest little addition. Parents need a cheer leader and someone who's been there and done that a time or two...or four, to support them through sleepless nights and the fog that is early parenthood. I am located in Winter Garden Florida and service the surrounding Orlando area.

My newborn and I were having a bit of a struggle with breastfeeding until I found Julie with Cradled Arms. She was a true help and answer to prayer! She was so helpful teaching & showing me how to help my baby latch, using resources, and giving encouragement. Julie went above and beyond in providing help and information on breastfeeding and even bottle feeding, which by the way, did you know your little one could still need help getting the correct latch with a bottle? Yea, me either until Julie taught me! She made my little one and I feel comfortable and heard and was there for us to have a successful breastfeeding journey. Highly recommend seeing Julie.

Edrina Gilbert

3 years of experience

Hi, I’m Edrina Gilbert, a full-spectrum doula, herbalist, childbirth educator, womb practitioner and founder of Let’s Doula This Baby LLC. I support women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with a blend of evidence-based care and ancestral wisdom. My work is rooted in helping families feel emotionally held, physically supported, and spiritually aligned as they welcome new life. Whether I’m creating nourishing teas, encapsulating placentas, or guiding mamas through their birthing journey, my goal is always the same, to remind women of their power and to make birth a deeply supported, healing experience. ✨ Your birth is sacred. Your care should be too. ✨

Edrina was beyond AMAZING! We hired her at the last hour (around almost 8 months pregnant). Best decision! I was induced and she was essential in the success of my labor. Not only did I love her but so did my family. She’s highly knowledgeable and resourceful even after labor. She was helpful in my breast feeding journey and throughout postpartum. Definitely recommend her to be by your side in your journey to parenthood.

Aura Santaella

13 years of experience

Hi, I’m Aura! I’m the founder of Your Lactation Journey—but more importantly, I’m a mom of four who’s been exactly where you are now. I’m a Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with over 12 years of pediatric and lactation experience. My background includes working as a bedside RN in pediatric critical care (PICU & NICU) and as a pediatric nurse practitioner providing 1:1 lactation support in the clinic setting. Supporting breastfeeding families has always been at the heart of my work. As a mom of four—twins first, then two singletons 18 months apart—all born with tongue ties and short NICU stays, I understand firsthand the challenges, learning curves, and triumphs of breastfeeding. My own journey taught me that every feeding experience is unique, and sometimes it’s far from “natural” in the beginning. I believe every feeding journey is unique, and there’s no one “right” way—it’s about finding what works best for you and your baby. I’m here to support, teach, & embrace you in yours and your baby’s breastfeeding journey.

I had an amazing experience with Aura. She was extremely knowledgeable and caring, making me feel comfortable right away. In our two-hour session, she helped me latch my son instantly, which was a game-changer. I learned so much and left feeling empowered to conquer breastfeeding. Highly recommend her services to any new mom!

Grey Graham

3 years of experience

Hi everyone! My name is Grey Graham, and I am a Certified Postpartum and Birth Doula, as well as a Certified Breastfeeding Counselor. Currently, I service South Florida (primarily), but I am open to traveling to North Florida, as well as any neighboring states. In my honest opinion, I think children are a precious gem, they are Gods gift to us here on Earth. They're just so sweet and actually quite fun to be around, I believe that they are the future and we can learn more from them then we think. I also love to see people happy and enjoying the life we've been blessed with. I decided to become a doula become after constantly stumbling across people with fears/ bad stories about giving birth and having children. I saw that people were afraid of having an actual baby, anxious that they'd be abandoned in the delivery room, and nervous about how to take care of them after. I've heard moms break down thinking they're not doing enough and failing their infant. That's where I come in. My ideal practice is to give judgment free help families adapt to bringing their baby home, understand any concerns they have, and hopefully aid them into becoming able to enjoy this milestone of their life.

I could not be more thankful for grey she really help me prepare for my labor even though my birth did not go exactly as plan because my baby obstructed my cervix that caused me to get induced she knew i was aganist being induced and the medication poticion is so horrible but she assisted me and husband to get through 45 hours of my labor i was so exhausted be of the poticion was being increased every two hours that it made labor uneasy because the contractions was coming every minute where you unable to rest i ended u getting an epidural but she help my husband with diffrent positions and comforting measures i will most dinfently refer her to anyone prices are affordable and she accepts humana medicaid that pays for doula and postpartum vist which is a big help.

Payton Kaar

5 years of experience

Hi, I’m Payton I’m a full spectrum doula who supports families through fertility, birth, postpartum, abortion, and loss. My heart work is helping women step into their innate power and knowledge so they can birth confidently and autonomously. In postpartum, I find joy in nurturing and nourishing mama so she can focus on healing and rediscovering herself. My goal is to bring back community care, traditional healing practices, and ancient wisdom.

We were so fortunate to have Payton with us during our triplet girls’ first year of life. She began as our overnight doula when they were newborns and later transitioned into their full-time nanny while we worked. Caring for three babies at once is no small task, yet Payton handled it with consistency, dependability, and so much love. She has a calm, soft-spoken presence that was incredibly comforting in those early months. Her experience with newborns truly stood out as she seemed to know exactly what each baby needed and provided the highest level of care. Beyond caring for the girls, she also kept our kitchen tidy and made sure supplies were always stocked, which lifted a huge weight off our shoulders as new parents. What stood out most was the joy Payton clearly took in caring for the girls, and how much they adored her in return. The bond she formed with them was so special, and we always felt complete peace of mind knowing they were in her hands. We are deeply grateful for her support during such an important season of our lives and couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Mijah Robinson

2 years of experience

Hi families! My name is Mijah Robinson, I am a mother of three girls. I birthed in a hospital x2 and one home birth. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist specializing in Prenatal and Postpartum massage. So, I am able to provide healing touch throughout your journey of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I am going through certification with Bebo Mia in Fertility, Birth and Postpartum. My job prior to this was the head Lactation Counselor for Viera, FL WIC (Women, Infant and Children) as I am a Certified Lactation Counselor, certified through global military lactation. Before this is served in the USAF as a mental health technician. All this to say, I am passionate about what I do, I'd love to help you bring your baby into this world. I will give you my upmost best care, as I treat every client like family. Whether you plan to birth at the hospital, birth center or at home, I will help guide you in whatever capacity you need me to!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this doula and the services she provides. She was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Her attention to detail and the genuine care she has for her clients truly set her apart. She took her time to answer every question, was consistently present, and supported me every step of the way. Her services were exactly as outlined in the contract—no surprises, just honesty and integrity. She is incredibly flexible with timing and rescheduling, which made the entire process feel stress-free. It’s clear that she truly cares about her clients and always follows through on everything she promises. In the birthing room, she was an exceptional advocate for me. Even when things didn’t go as planned, she adjusted quickly and seamlessly without showing any frustration. Her calm presence and ability to adapt made me feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout the experience. She also went above and beyond postpartum, following up and even taking time out of her own schedule to create thoughtful, personal trinkets for postpartum care. Those gestures meant so much and showed just how deeply invested she is in her clients’ well-being. Overall, she is an outstanding doula. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who feels like a true safe space—like another sibling, another parent—someone who naturally fits into any environment and supports you wholeheartedly. She is truly exceptional.

Haley Mangieri, BSN, RN

15 years of experience

Hi, I’m Haley! a Pediatric & Neonatal Registered Nurse (BSN, RN) with 8+ years of specialized experience in both Pediatric Intensive Care (PICU) and Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU). Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I now live in South Beach, Miami, where I provide private, concierge-style newborn care in families’ homes. Since transitioning from the hospital setting, I have become a trusted Newborn Night Nurse for local families, including high-profile and high-net-worth clients seeking experienced, nurse-led support. I offer overnight and daytime newborn care, feeding guidance, postpartum support, gentle sleep shaping, and hands-on baby education tailored to each family’s needs. Credentials & training include: • BSN, RN • CPR/BLS, PALS • STABLE (Neonatal Post-Resuscitation Stabilization) • Dr. Brown’s Infant-Driven Feeding (IDF) certification I am currently expanding my services through additional certifications as a Newborn Sleep Consultant and Lactation Specialist to provide even more support for families. Please feel free to message me with any questions, I would love to connect.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working alongside Haley at our specialty hospital, which includes both a step-down NICU and PICU. Haley joined our team as a travel nurse and made a seamless transition into her role—immediately becoming a valued and trusted member of the unit. Personally, Haley was an incredible support to me during a time when I was returning to the bedside after time away. Without hesitation, she took me under her wing, guiding me through current best practices and reinforcing a strong foundation in safe, evidence-based care. Haley’s compassion is evident in every interaction she has—with patients, families, and colleagues. She is a gifted teacher who takes time to educate parents navigating complex medical situations, all while being approachable and non-judgmental. Her ability to explain, support, and reassure makes her an invaluable resource, especially for first-time parents, NICU graduates, or those caring for medically fragile children. If Haley can expertly manage the needs of 3 to 5 ill infants and children during a shift, it’s clear she can handle anything that comes her way in a home environment. I would strongly recommend her to any family—whether they are welcoming a new baby, adjusting to life with a NICU graduate, or simply in need of skilled support for peace of mind to promote restful sleep. Haley is a nurse you can trust wholeheartedly—with both clinical excellence and compassionate care at the core of everything she does.

Stephanie Dawson

9 years of experience

Stephanie is a board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC), which is the gold standard for lactation and infant feeding support. She is currently practicing in and around Lakeland, FL through her private practice GROW Lakeland, LLC. She first started working with families in 2017 as a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and postpartum doula, and quickly realized that supporting families was her professional calling. The road to IBCLC is long and challenging, but she aced the board exam in 2022 and launched GROW in 2023. Shortly after passing her board exam, she jumped straight into advanced training programs for oral function & ties, bottle refusal, and Infant Reflexes to better support local families dealing with the most difficult feeding challenges.

Working with Stephanie at GROW was a dream! I had worked with several other lactation consultants in the area without much success. I'm so glad I found Stephanie!!

Love, love, love Lori! She went above and beyond during my birth. She stayed with us for hours while we were waiting, and even when she had to step away after being there all day, she came right back to the hospital as soon as things started moving. She supported both me and my husband so much—helping him with comfort measures and helping me with breathing, pushing, and staying calm. Her presence was steady, kind, and exactly what we needed. I would have Lori again in a heartbeat!
