Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in La Crosse, WI

My name is Cherie Schmidt. I am a licensed RN in the state of Minnesota. I retired a year ago as a triage nurse in an OB/GYN office. I worked there for 11 years. I have worked in Neonatal ICU, Newborn Nursery, did mother/baby nursing, and was a board certified lactation consultant and practiced for 10 years with inpatient and outpatient clients. I have been a doula for close friends. The goal is to have a healthy mom, baby, and help the partner get through pregnancy, childbirth, and new parenting. I also want to help children get through the experience of being a new sibling. I have been attended hundreds of deliveries and have taught prenatal classes. This position gives me joy. I want to understand your goals and ease the experience before, during, and after childbirth for the whole family! It would be my privilege to help your family during this journey!

I’m Dr. Zoelle Reinke, a chiropractor and the owner of New Directions Chiropractic in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. My passion is caring for women and children, with a special focus on pregnancy, postpartum, infants, and growing families. I’m certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) in pediatric and prenatal chiropractic care, and I’m also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Having both backgrounds allows me to look at the whole picture, especially when working with moms and babies. I love being able to consider nervous system function, development, movement, feeding, and breastfeeding together rather than looking at each concern separately. My goal is to provide gentle, individualized care while creating a space where families feel heard, supported, and confident as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, infancy, and beyond.
