Hello, I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant of more than ten years with a background in Women and Infant care. I have been a registered nurse for more than 23 years, with special training in Labor and Delivery. I have my master's degree in nursing education and love to teach new parents about the beauty of breastfeeding. It would be my honor to help you in your breastfeeding journey.

Welcome! I’m Sabrina de la Rosa, an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), dedicated to supporting mothers and babies on their breastfeeding journey. As a mother of four, all of whom I breastfed, I understand the challenges and joys that come with breastfeeding. My passion for lactation began in 2016, inspired by my own experience as a new mother. This led me to become a breastfeeding support volunteer, and ultimately to pursue certification as an IBCLC. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Maternal Child Health from UI&U, which deepened my understanding of the unique needs of mothers and infants. For over 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching pilates and wellness practices to women in my community, blending my love for fitness with my commitment to health. This holistic approach to well-being is the foundation of my lactation practice. Through my private practice, Nature’s Nectar Lactation Support, I offer personalized, compassionate lactation care to mothers and babies in the Rio Grande Valley. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to achieve your breastfeeding goals. Whether you are struggling with latch issues, low milk supply, or just need guidance along the way, I am here to help. I also work with the State of Texas through the Department of Public Health, advocating for maternal and infant health and supporting families in achieving optimal health outcomes. Living in Texas with my husband and four children, I am deeply honored to serve my community and help mothers achieve success with breastfeeding. I believe that breastfeeding is not just about nourishment—it’s about creating a powerful bond between mother and child. I look forward to supporting you and your baby on this incredible journey.
