Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Orillia, ON

Some people know me as the "Boob Doctor." It is a nickname I happily embrace because I love helping parents feel confident feeding their babies. Whether it is breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, or working through feeding challenges, I am here to provide compassionate, practical support. I believe healthcare should feel approachable, collaborative, and even a little enjoyable. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered, whether you're navigating hormones, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, or your baby's feeding journey. I'll always meet you where you are, with evidence-informed care and a kind ear. We might even share a few laughs along the way.

I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with more than 25 years experience. I have worked internationally to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding/chestfeeding. My strong clinical skills are coupled with program development, evaluation, and not-for-profit experience. My unique skill set allows me to offer a comprehensive healthcare approach to families. Family-centred care is the cornerstone of my service. I adopt a holistic approach to understand all factors that may impact the breastfeeding dyad, and I strive to provide culturally concordant healthcare. A lactation consultant is an essential member of a prenatal and family healthcare team. They play a pivotal role in infant feeding, particularly breastfeeding. I can support families in preparing to breastfeed, address feeding challenges (including supplementation), and offer continued guidance until weaning. I strive to protect maternal-child health, promote emotional well-being, and empower families to navigate the complexities of breastfeeding. Furthermore, my dedication to family-centred healthcare was strengthened when I completed a Diploma in Herbal Medicine from England. I offer one-on-one herbal consultations to mothers in the perinatal period. During the consultation, mothers are given a space to express their current health concerns.

I’m a birth & postpartum doula and infant sleep consultant with 15+ years working with families. I’ve attended over 500 birth and worked with thousands of families caring for newborns overnight to allow parents to get a good nights sleep. Feel free to reach out for more information. 905-706-8358

Hello and welcome to Flowerbud Lactation! My name is Amanda and I am a lactation consultant with a background in Neonatal ICU and pediatrics nursing.
