About Melissa

As a Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Postpartum Doula, I provide evidence based in-home support to families in and around Lincoln, NE during the first six weeks after birth.

Lactation Consultant services

No matter what your birth plans include, one thing is certain: You will thrive with knowledgeable advocates by your side, even if things don’t go as planned. The same is true of the postpartum period. And like birth, you deserve someone to come alongside your family, to support and uphold you, to advocate for your choices and to bring a well rounded foundation of evidence based assistance into your home. You need a voice of unbiased reason when you’re receiving advice from all sides. Let me soften your landing. - I provide fact based information that saves families from googling their way through their breastfeeding concerns. Together we prevent problems instead of waiting for them to arise before seeking help. I come prepared with my bag of tips and tricks to help you avoid unnecessary interventions. I promote preventative lactation care and help families determine whether further professional help seems necessary before there is a crisis that requires it. - I come ready to keep mom’s space a sanctuary of rest, nourishment, bonding, and peace. I act as a buffer between her expectations of herself and the reality of her needs. She is the center. and her healing and transformation come first. - I am an extension of parents when they feel like duplicating themselves is the only way to make everything work.
