Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Oro Valley, AZ

Hi! I’m Marie. I am a Mother, Photographer, Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, Certified Breastfeeding Counselor & Childbirth educator. My passion lies in the deep-rooted belief that there is an extreme need for birthing families to be thoroughly supported throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. After learning firsthand the immense value of having a doula, as well as a solid understanding and education of pregnancy and childbirth during my own experiences, I was inspired to help new families gain the confidence, comfort, and peace of mind that having the guidance of a doula can provide. I bring the experience of being a nanny for almost 20 years, a special education and early childhood educator in Montessori, as well as being a photographer for 20+ years. I am also trained in Positive Discipline. The skills I have gained by providing these services for others are crucial to the work I do as a doula. By working with many amazing families throughout the years, I have learned how to anticipate the needs of others and make myself available to them accordingly, which directly relates to my nurturing personality. I believe this is vital for a doula to possess. My clients rely on my peaceful, compassionate, loving, supportive nature to help them feel empowered, informed, and ready for this beautiful new journey. I currently reside in my hometown of Tucson, AZ after living in San Diego for 20 years. On my time off you can find me enjoying my time with my family, hiking, camping, working in the garden or just about anything that gets me outside and enjoying this beautiful planet we live on.

Hi! I’m Antoinette, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and the founder of Breastfeeding Reborn. I provide personalized, in-home lactation support to families throughout Tucson, Vail, and surrounding Southern Arizona communities. I believe feeding support should feel practical, compassionate, and tailored to your family: not like another set of rules you have to follow. Whether you’re preparing to breastfeed, navigating painful or difficult feeds, worried about milk supply or weight gain, pumping, returning to work, or simply wondering if what you’re experiencing is “normal,” I’m here to help you understand what’s happening and create a plan that actually works for you and your baby. As a mom myself, I also understand how overwhelming feeding can feel when you’re exhausted, getting conflicting advice, and just trying to figure out what’s best for your family. My goal is for you to leave our time together feeling heard, supported, and much more confident in your next steps. I’d love to be part of your feeding journey!
