Chattanooga Lactation Welcome to Chattanooga Lactation, where families receive personalized, evidence-based support for breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, and all things infant feeding. Our team of experienced IBCLCs (International Board Certified Lactation Consultants) provides compassionate lactation support to families throughout Chattanooga, Ooltewah, Cleveland, East Ridge, Hixson, Northshore, Red Bank, Signal Mountain, Ringgold, Fort Oglethorpe, and surrounding communities. We know feeding a baby doesn’t always go as planned. Whether you’re struggling with latch, painful nursing, low milk supply, slow infant weight gain, pumping, bottle refusal, oral function, breast or nipple pain, or transitioning back to work, you don’t have to figure it out alone. At Chattanooga Lactation, we look beyond the latch. We take time to understand the whole picture and create a feeding plan that works for you, your baby, and your family—whether that means breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, formula feeding, or a combination of methods. Our goal is simple: real support without judgment. We’re here to help you feel confident, informed, and supported throughout your feeding journey. You don’t have to do this alone. ❤️

Hi, my name is Chante Shine. I am a wife, mother and cancer survivor. It was after my own two wildly different but equally amazing birth experiences I realized that I had a passion for birth. For years afterward, I helped to guide my friends through their birth journeys but after my life changing struggles in 2022 I decided, life is short and there is not a minute to waste! So, in 2023 I decided to make it official and get my Birth Doula Certification. I also went ahead and added Postpartum Doula, Breastfeeding Counselor and Childbirth Educator Certifications to my agenda! I am currently working my way through these classes, and I could not be more excited and thrilled to start working with expecting parents such as yourselves!

Long before becoming a doula, I understood the importance of supporting mothers because I had experienced motherhood myself. Today, as both a mother and grandmother, I've had the privilege of watching motherhood unfold across generations. Those experiences have given me a deep appreciation for just how significant birth is. Every mother is different. Every baby is different. And every birth story is different. That's why I believe good doula care begins with listening. I was drawn to doula work because I wanted to provide women with the kind of steady, compassionate support that can be so meaningful during labor and birth. My approach is especially centered around comfort care and birth coaching. I help mothers explore different labor positions, movement, relaxation and comfort techniques while also providing the emotional encouragement that can be just as important during labor. Also I am Pronatal (perinatal fitness instructor). Fitness is a part of my life and I can help you in becoming stronger in preparing you for birth and recovery!! I don't believe my role is to take over your birth experience. I'm there to walk beside you. To encourage you when labor becomes difficult. To help you find another position when something isn't working. To remind you of your strength when you're tired. To listen to what you need. And, when desired, to pray with you and bring the comfort of our shared Christian faith into the birth space.

Hi everyone! I’m Sarah, an IBCLC and the founder of Sweet Nectar Lactation & Infant Feeding Support. I’ve spent years working with families through all the ups and downs of feeding—whether it’s figuring out latch struggles, pumping routines, supply concerns, or finding what works best for you and your baby. My approach is all about support without pressure, meeting you where you are, and helping you feel confident in your feeding journey. I believe every baby and parent deserve care that’s both evidence-based and deeply compassionate, and that’s what I aim to provide. If you ever need guidance, reassurance, or just someone to help make things a little easier, I’m here for you.

While photographing my first home birth in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2014, I naturally found myself playing the role of doula between shots. I signed up for official training the next day and never looked back. Soon after doula training, I earned a Certification in Lactation Counseling (CLC) and began helping mothers struggling with feeding issues. I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of babies in various settings, with varying feeding challenges, and a wide range of feeding goals. Phelicia welcomes families of all dynamics, ethnicities, and backgrounds, supporting births at home, in-hospital, medicated or unmedicated, planned, and unplanned cesareans.
