About me

Hello there, my name is Gretchen Farrell and my passion is being a support for families as they prepare, and then welcome their new babies. I am RN and board certified Lactation Consultant as well as a family educator. I enjoy working with families before during and after birth and have been doing so for over 25 years. My specialties include newborn feeding support and providing educational classes for Newborn Care, Breastfeeding and Childbirth Education. I feel like I have the best job in the world and make it my goal to provide parents with what they most need and desire to align with their choices considering the care and feeding of their baby. I’m the mother of two adult children and now grandmother to two adorable grandchildren. When I’m not spending time with them, I enjoy being out in nature, hiking, kayaking, and the arts.
