How Much Does a Lactation Consultant or IBCLC Cost in Florence, SC?

Hi! I am Kristin Frohne, a certified birth doula and certified VBAC doula and lactation consultant. I am a wife and a mom to 3 little kids. I decided to get into birth work because after three very different births( c-section, VBAC induction, and VBAC spontaneous labor), I finally got the birth I dreamed of. I want to help moms and partners feel informed and supported through their pregnancy and birth. Birth is beautiful regardless of how any parent chooses or ends up having a baby, I think that it is the most spectacular thing that could ever happen.

I'm an international Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC.) I have over 20 years of experience working with families and their infant feeding needs. I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I do home visits as well as virtual consultations. Continue support, good resources, and up-to-date research are essential to the new parents, or new baby for a seasoned family, so reach out to get all this and more! My specialties are oral structure and function assessments, oral restrictions and rehabilitation, low/over milk supply, breast therapy, back to work, flange fitting, exclusive pumping, bottle refusal/aversion, induced lactation/relactation, feeding twins/multiples, tamden nursing, and weaning.

I'm an experienced IBCLC who has a passion for finding -and working to resolve- root causes. I love "lactation detective work" for complex cases and I love grounding myself in the biological norm as a blueprint for breastfeeding. I work hard to be inclusive in my practice in every way possible. I have especially deep dived into issues surrounding tongue tie and low milk supply. I have 4 kids who have helped me understand, more than anything, that there is more than one "right" way to parent. I believe in the instincts of the parents I work with and always honor their place as the primary member(s) of the infant feeding team.

Having grown up in Vermont, I was always around breastfeeding mothers, clean living, and being part of a village for new parents. Upon moving to North Carolina in 2015, I realized the silver lining that was missing in childcare- a cohesive option for care for the newest of babies to any age child, while providing a balance of education, nurturing, and love to the parents. I have a wide variety of experience and certifications in pregnancy, labor, birth, and early parenting. I bring passion and expertise to each and every family she serves. My interest in postpartum work was sparked when my little sister was born; I truly believed that this sweet angel was brought into this world as my baby. From this moment on, I knew she had to work with babies and families in some fashion. Essentially, Elise did not choose the doula/nanny life, the doula/nanny life chose her. I offer a variety of services including: Elise brings a variety of experience, education, and certifications to your family: DONA certified birth doula DONA certified postpartum doula Rebozo certified Sleep Consultant Certified Nursing Assistant Family Coach Nanny Placement

I am a mother to four children and when my first and fourth babies were newborns, they gave me many breastfeeding challenges. It was with the support of skilled lactation consultants that I was able to develop a plan to be able to continue to breastfeed. I became a lactation consultant because I desire to support moms in the comfort of their own homes as they overcome challenges while feeding their babies. It is a joy and honor to get to do what I do and I love building relationships with the families I serve. Before I was a lactation consultant, I was a birth doula. I’ve been supporting growing families for over a decade.

Hello! My name is Alexis, and I believe birth is one of life's most sacred transitions. As a Black woman, everything I do is rooted in advocacy, compassion, and a commitment to helping keep mothers and babies safe. I understand the importance of making every birthing person feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum journey. As a healthcare professional, mother of five, and founder of Black Motherhood Collective, I have witnessed how transformative compassionate, informed support can be. My goal is to provide evidence-based education, emotional encouragement, physical comfort, and practical postpartum care while honoring each family's unique values, culture, and birth preferences. I believe every parent deserves to feel seen, listened to, and supported. Whether I'm offering comfort measures during labor, advocating for informed decision-making, supporting breastfeeding and newborn care, or helping create space for rest and recovery, I strive to be a calm, reassuring presence during one of the most important moments in a family's life. It is truly an honor to walk alongside families as they welcome new life into the world. My mission is simple: to help parents feel safe, confident, and empowered while ensuring every mother and every baby receives the compassionate care they deserve.

I am a veteran of the United States Air Force, spouse of a military retiree, International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS), and La Leche League Leader (LLLL). I completed Associate of Arts in General Studies and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology degrees from American Military University. I am certified in BLS for the Provider and trained in AED use. My husband and I have seven children. It is because of them, that I am where I am today. I am not only educated on the birth process and utilizing comfort measures for pain relief, but also have personal experience. I had two births using epidural pain relief. Five of my births were medication-free. My breastfeeding journey with each of my children was different. Every journey was different because every baby was, and each had their own challenges. (The parent may know what they are doing, but the baby needs to learn.) My experiences with each of my children taught me many things about giving birth and human lactation throughout the years. Helping birthing and lactating parents meet their own goals is my goal. As a CBS, IBCLC, and doula, all of my education and experience will help me to provide families compassionate care throughout the birth process, postpartum period, and lactation journey.

I'm Kathleen. I am passionate about all things pregnancy, birth and postpartum. My desire is to be and help create "a village" of support for new moms. Sometimes this is physically helping out families in the home, or it may also be taking your call to answer one of the thousands of questions that you have in the first few weeks. And the moments I want to be there for the most are the ones you think aren't important enough to share or you think it's just you. As your doula, It is my desire that you feel fully empowered and supported in your own personal postpartum journey. Free from judgement or pressure.
