IMMA (pronounced "ee-ma") means “mother” in Hebrew. It’s the reminder that we are all part of the parenthood collective, no matter how we feed our children. We are here to support you on your feeding journey with compassion and a deep commitment to lactation science. Our mission is simple: to help both baby and parent thrive together. We provide support, not judgment, because we believe you know what's best for your body and your family. Think of us as your “breast friends”—here to share knowledge with kindness. We strike a balance between clinical expertise and personal connection, always meeting families where they are. Sometimes, we have to deliver hard truths that might not match what you imagined, but our approach is always rooted in respect and the understanding that every family’s journey is unique. We recognize that new parenthood, while sacred and miraculous, often isn't treated that way in today's fast-paced world. Many parents don’t get the time off to truly bond with their newborns, but our consults focus on providing you with the knowledge and confidence you need. We’re here to help you understand what it really means to feed and care for your baby. IMMA is also here for the journey beyond those first few months. From introducing solids to managing milk production after returning to work, navigating weaning, or even offering breastmilk to toddlers—we’ve seen it all, and we’re here for you every step of the way. We got you.
