Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Olympia, WA

I am Aneke, a passionate calm birth worker with 28+years of experience helping future parents on their journey into parenthood, whether in the comfort of their home or any other birth place of their choice. I serve as a midwife and doula, so called monitrice. I think education is key for a good start as family, therefore I teach childbirth education/introduction to lactation, care in postpartum. Birthing a child is the most powerful intimate event in our lives, it should be treated with love, care and professional expertise in the most natural way possible.

My name is Aijanae, the visionary founder of Village to Village Doulas, a premier doula agency renowned for its holistic and compassionate approach to childbirth and postpartum care. My journey into the world of maternal support was deeply personal and transformative. My son, my baby boy Jahsiah was diagnosed with Hepatoblastoma just as I had booked my calendar for the year, I was faced the immense challenge of balancing my professional and personal life. This experience underscored the importance of having a trusted support system during life's most vulnerable moments. Leveraging my personal journey, I established Village to Village Doulas to provide unparalleled support to local Doulas and parents navigating the complexities of childbirth and early parenthood.

Hi, I'm Samantha Avramovic. I'm a Certified Lactation Support Provider (CLSP) credentialed through GOLD Lactation Academy, and I'm passionate about supporting families through one of the most tender and sometimes challenging chapters of their lives. I'm a mom of three rambunctious kids and former nurslings. I know how beautiful and fulfilling nursing can be, and I also know it can be overwhelming to find help that meets you where you are. I come to you — in your home, on your terms. I believe that good lactation support should feel like a knowledgeable friend sitting beside you on the couch, not a trial that adds more stress to an already full plate. I work with all kinds of families. Whether you're a first-time parent anxious to get it right, someone who had a hard time last time and wants more support, or a parent returning to work and trying to figure out pumping — I'm here for you, without judgment, always.

Hi, I’m Mehri. I’m a mom of two girls, and I truly believe there is nothing more important than helping a mother feel safe, supported, and never alone. I went through this-when you dont have any support, no one can understand you, even sometimes your friends or your family members. During my pregnant period I almost lost 2 my best friends because of I was expecting from them support that I never received, not because of they dont care, they just dont know how to deal with that. Life once surprised me with an unexpected home birth before the ambulance arrived. In that moment, I learned that staying calm, taking a deep breath, and having someone beside you can change everything. Since then, I’ve carried that feeling with me. I love listening, encouraging, making tea, holding a baby so a mom can rest, or simply sitting quietly when that’s what’s needed. Families often tell me that they feel calm around me, and that’s the greatest compliment I could ever receive.

Tired, overwhelmed, or just not sure what's "normal"? I'm here to help. I'm Yelena Lushnikova, a lactation consultant and sleep coach with a medical background, supporting families from birth through age 12. I help parents feel confident with feeding, sleep, and development, with a plan built around your child and your family, not a one-size-fits-all method.

As a compassionate postpartum doula and newborn care specialist I am dedicated to supporting parents during the crucial postpartum period, offering care and guidance as they adjust to life with a new baby. It is my pleasure to provide nurturing, non-judgmental support, help parents learn new skills, and feel confident in their abilities. From complete baby body care to assisting with newborn sleep, feeding, and infant soothing techniques, I offer practical support so you can rest, recover, and recharge. Let me be there for you, ensuring you have the support and space to enjoy your transition into parenthood. Day or nighttime support is available!

Hi, I'm Jenna, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and pediatric occupational therapist supporting families throughout the greater Seattle area. For the past 11 years I've worked with babies and young children as an OT, and that background shapes how I approach feeding. When latching hurts, a baby struggles to stay on the breast, or bottles and pumping feel like a puzzle, I look at the whole picture: your baby's oral motor skills, tone, reflexes, and body position, along with your comfort, supply, and goals. Feeding is a skill your baby is learning and something you're learning together, and small adjustments often make a big difference. I'm also a mom to a little boy, so I know firsthand how tender and overwhelming those early days can be, and how much it helps to have someone in your corner. I offer unhurried home visits and virtual consults where you can ask every question on your mind. Whether you're preparing before birth, navigating the early weeks, returning to work, or figuring out how to combine breast, bottle, and pump, I'm here to help you find a rhythm that works for your family. There's no single right way to feed a baby, and my goal is to help you feel confident in yours. I'd love to support you. Reach out anytime and let's talk about what you need.
