Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Keremeos, BC

Hello, my name is Jamie Lovato, and I am a Certified Full-Spectrum Doula located in Valley, Washington. All the facets of birth are my joy and passion, and I'm always curious to learn more. My background is Native plant medicines and Indigenous Birth Justice work. I believe birth can be calm and peaceful if we set the right atmosphere with positive affirmations to get there. My practice tries to create a judgment-free zone for all parents seeking informational and emotional support. In my free time I enjoy gathering plants for medicine making and spending time with family and friends.

I'm a board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) committed to helping parents achieve their breastfeeding and chestfeeding goals with nurturing, nonjudgemental clinical care. Lactation consults are available in your home, through telehealth or in my cozy home office in Bellingham’s Fairhaven neighborhood. Whether you are pregnant or planning to induce lactation, are dealing with challenges, want to exclusively pump, or need help with back to work/school issues, I would love to be your lactation consultant!

For 23 years I have worked with birthing patients, their partners and babies. I worked as a nurse in Labor and Delivery, postpartum, NICU and then as an IBCLC in patient, out patient and now in private practice. My speciality is tongue tie, older babies, gut health and low milk supply. Being internationally licensed, I can see anyone, anywhere, anytime. Book today for virtual lactation support.

I’m a caring, calm, and practical family support provider with a diverse professional background in healthcare, childcare, aquatics, first aid, and community work. I spent 12 years working in healthcare with at-risk youth and older adults, and I’m currently completing my Full Spectrum Doula training through Doula School Canada, including postpartum care. I bring that combination of healthcare experience, safety knowledge, and hands-on family support into the way I care for both parents and children. My approach is very individual. I don’t believe there is one “right” way to parent, recover, feed a baby, build a routine, or support a child. I believe in meeting families where they are, listening before assuming, and helping people feel more confident in their own abilities rather than stepping in and trying to take over or “fix” things. Sometimes support means practical help, sometimes it means information or reassurance, and sometimes it means recognizing that someone is exhausted and needs a meal, a shower, a few uninterrupted hours of sleep, or simply another capable adult in the room. With children, I’m calm, creative, and very hands-on. I encourage age-appropriate independence, I’m patient about mistakes, happy to answer approximately nine million questions, and generally not bothered by a little mud, paint, flour, or chaos along the way. I also have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent children and youth and take an individualized, trauma-informed approach to communication, routines, sensory needs, and emotional regulation. Ultimately, I want the families I support to feel safe, respected, listened to, and more confident — not judged or managed. I bring a lot of professional knowledge into a home, but I never forget that it is your family, your values, and your life. My role is to support you in it.

Hey my name is Santaya, I am a Birth doula.I work as a pregnancy coach while also being a personal trainer for delivery. I work with families to help them achieve their goals for birth. This means i meet with patients (and families) twice during pregnancy to go over needs and goals for clients birth plans. During my clients pregnancy i visit them every trimester to do a check up. In these visits i go over what to expect within that trimester and answer any of the patients questions. I also track the pregnancy in a book that i give to the patient after delivery. I offer business hours on call support to my clients. This means i will be available from 9 am-5pm for physical support, emotional support and informational support via text or call. I help assist/coach my clients with delivery at the hospital however long that may be.I don't have to do shift change. I am present during labor till a few hours after.I help support clients that decide on natural birth, epidural or C section.

I am Latha Ram, a DONA trained birth doula, ICEA/Lamaze trained childbirth educator. My path into birth work began after my own birth experience opened my eyes to how modern birth can often feel overwhelming, clinical, and isolating. I found myself asking: when did women and families begin walking this journey without the village that once surrounded them? I created Dhatri to help families navigate pregnancy and birth with both evidence-based knowledge and compassionate support. My approach blends research-backed education with calm, grounded support. Some families want deep dives into research, medical evidence, and decision-making tools. Others want reassurance, emotional support, and someone who helps them slow down and reconnect with their intuition. Most families need both. I meet you where you are. My role is not to make decisions for you, but to provide you with evidence-based information, continuous support, and advocacy so you can make the choices that are right for your family. I support all birth choices - hospital, birth center, or home birth; medicated or unmedicated; vaginal or cesarean. What matters most is that you feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout your journey.
