Find a Lactation Consultant Near Me in Overland Park, KS

I am a mom of 4 and grandmother of 7. I am a RN having working in Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, Nursery and NICU. I have been an LC for 10+ years. I have a passion for assisting mom and families to develop a plan with feeding that work for mom and that helps her reach her goals.

My passion for breastfeeding began with my children who I was able to breastfeed for about two years. I gradually transitioned from NICU nurse to IBCLC lactation consultant. My goal is to assist families on their breastfeeding journey and to be as helpful as I can to meet your breastfeeding goals, without guilt or judgement. I believe that every mom and her baby are the most beautiful things ever created. My holistic approach will ensure that your family will be treated with respect, kindness, love and knowledge.

I offer compassionate, evidence-based lactation care for families locally and across the globe. No matter what your journey is - breastfeeding, chestfeeding, pumping, or combination feeding - your goals are the center of the care plan. I specialize in pumping plans and tongue ties and love to create a plan for feeding your baby that works for YOU. In my spare time, I enjoy being outside, hanging out with my family and cooking (or wandering the grocery store thinking up new things to cook!).

I'm an IBCLC experienced in Birthwork, Acupuncture, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I'm passionate about Prenatal Lactation education, which lays the foundation for a successful feeding journey. I also believe that Postpartum healing needs more attention, and I love merging my skills to nurture new and seasoned parents.

I began my career as a birth professional in 2013 as a registered nurse, specializing in Labor & Delivery. I am also a certified doula and home birth midwife. I have worked as a travel nurse in different states, which has allowed me to learn a variety of useful methods and introduce them where beneficial to my birthing moms. It has been my pleasure to work with families of diverse backgrounds, helping them welcome their new baby into the world and fulfill their best possible pregnancy & birth experience. I enjoy working with women who labor with or without epidurals assisting them with massage, positioning, and breathing techniques to achieve a calming labor experience. I have attended over 2,000 births including water birth and cesarean deliveries. I completed my training and certification as a birth and bereavement doula through both the DONA International and Stillbirthday (bereavement) programs. I have also obtained certification as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) to assist women in their breastfeeding goals. As a Chocolate Milk Cafe facilitator I hold monthly meetings to provide Black women and their families with breastfeeding support and resources. I have received training as an Evidence Based Birth Instructor through Evidence Based Birth. Additionally, I have completed training to become a fertility and pregnancy and infant loss (PAIL) advocate. As a registered nurse I hold certifications in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Basic Life Support (BLS), Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP), AWOHNN Fetal Monitoring (Intermediate & Advanced), and Safe Sleep. My goal is to help educate mothers and families to be as prepared as possible for the childbirth experience and help them to adjust thereafter. I offer hands-on support, as well as help mom understand each step of the labor/birth process so she may better voice her desires to her provider (MD/CNM). I am very open and willing to answer mom/family questions and address any expressed concerns. Sharing the birthing process and miracle of life is my passion. I know that the birthing process can be very overwhelming and my focus is to help diminish any sense of fear and replace it with knowledge and empowerment.

I'm a social worker by education. I've spent the last 10 years working with low-income families to empower and encourage sustainability and health literacy. I became interested in birth work when I began working on a project to reduce infant mortality. I realized that many birthing persons do not realize all of the decisions that they have to make before, during and after birth. And that they do, and should, have a say in all of these decisions. I want to help families make informed choices that will enhance their birth experience and bring a healthy person into the world safely. I am super invested in helping folks secure their breast/chestfeeding relationship. Whether you are the birthing person, the adoptive parent, the non-gestational parent or just a supportive partner, we can talk about how to make your lactation journey successful. I successfully induced lactation for my first daughter as the non-gestational parent and am really excited to be able to share my lactation knowledge and journey with others.

Hi! My name is Kylee Carlisle. I have had the privilege of working with families since beginning my career in labor and delivery in 2008. During this time, I found a love for education and breastfeeding support. I have 4 sweet babies of my own and the struggle and awe of breastfeeding them I have discovered the joy in helping others navigate their own breastfeeding goals.
