Hello! My name is Mariel. I am an IBCLC with specialized training in oral function and oral tethered tissues (tongue- and lip-ties).

I am here to support your feeding goals with flexibility and compassion.

Hi! I’m Jen and I pride myself on my gentle treatment of parents and babies, which is how I came up with my practice name: Jentle Lactation. With nearly 20 years of experience, I offer warm, caring, personalized support for all kinds of feeding concerns — including latch and positioning, milk supply, infant weight gain, sore nipples or breasts, pumping, tongue tie, returning to work, and so much more. I’m a mom of three and faced some significant challenges while breastfeeding my babies, but also learned first hand how rewarding the breastfeeding experience can be. I live on Long Island with my family and our tabby cat, and enjoy podcasts, fantasy novels, and yoga.

I am a board certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a registered nurse with almost 20 years o experience. I offer insurance covered consults and cater my practice based on your personal situation.

Hello, I'm Miranda and I would be delighted to help you reach your feeding goals for your baby or babies. I've been a Registered Nurse since 2008. I'm also an internationally board-certified lactation consultant, the highest qualification in the field. I have personal breastfeeding experience with four children of my own, and it didn't come easy. I've experienced firsthand the value of good support, as well as the frustration that comes when someone isn't helpful. I'm passionate about helping families thrive, and that starts with supporting parents in reaching their feeding goals—whatever they may be. Whether you're breastfeeding, pumping and bottle-feeding, combo feeding, or figuring out what works best for you, I'm here to help. My goal is for every mom to leave our visit feeling more confident, empowered, and supported. Breastfeeding is hard—you don't have to do it alone
