Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Princeton, BC

I’m a caring, calm, and practical family support provider with a diverse professional background in healthcare, childcare, aquatics, first aid, and community work. I spent 12 years working in healthcare with at-risk youth and older adults, and I’m currently completing my Full Spectrum Doula training through Doula School Canada, including postpartum care. I bring that combination of healthcare experience, safety knowledge, and hands-on family support into the way I care for both parents and children. My approach is very individual. I don’t believe there is one “right” way to parent, recover, feed a baby, build a routine, or support a child. I believe in meeting families where they are, listening before assuming, and helping people feel more confident in their own abilities rather than stepping in and trying to take over or “fix” things. Sometimes support means practical help, sometimes it means information or reassurance, and sometimes it means recognizing that someone is exhausted and needs a meal, a shower, a few uninterrupted hours of sleep, or simply another capable adult in the room. With children, I’m calm, creative, and very hands-on. I encourage age-appropriate independence, I’m patient about mistakes, happy to answer approximately nine million questions, and generally not bothered by a little mud, paint, flour, or chaos along the way. I also have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent children and youth and take an individualized, trauma-informed approach to communication, routines, sensory needs, and emotional regulation. Ultimately, I want the families I support to feel safe, respected, listened to, and more confident — not judged or managed. I bring a lot of professional knowledge into a home, but I never forget that it is your family, your values, and your life. My role is to support you in it.

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.

I specialize in supporting people in larger bodies and navigating weight stigma and anti-fat bias in maternity care. My practice is fat-positive, LGBTQ+ affirming, neurodivergent-affirming, and trauma-informed—and you don’t need to identify as fat to work with me. I believe there’s no one “right” way to give birth.

I'm Yelena Lushnikova, a lactation consultant and sleep coach with a medical background, supporting families from birth through age 12.

I am Latha Ram, a DONA trained birth doula, ICEA/Lamaze trained childbirth educator. My path into birth work began after my own birth experience opened my eyes to how modern birth can often feel overwhelming, clinical, and isolating. I found myself asking: when did women and families begin walking this journey without the village that once surrounded them? I created Dhatri to help families navigate pregnancy and birth with both evidence-based knowledge and compassionate support. My approach blends research-backed education with calm, grounded support. Some families want deep dives into research, medical evidence, and decision-making tools. Others want reassurance, emotional support, and someone who helps them slow down and reconnect with their intuition. Most families need both. I meet you where you are. My role is not to make decisions for you, but to provide you with evidence-based information, continuous support, and advocacy so you can make the choices that are right for your family. I support all birth choices - hospital, birth center, or home birth; medicated or unmedicated; vaginal or cesarean. What matters most is that you feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout your journey.

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.

Hi! I’m a birth doula, childbirth educator, and lactation counselor with a background in osteopathic medicine and a deep passion for perinatal support. During medical school, I saw how the way we approach and nurture pregnancy and birth can shape early family experience, creating lasting ripple effects. In addition to birth work, I lead parent support groups through PEPS and am a mom of two teens. I understand how unpredictable and transformative the journey into parenthood can be, and my role is to help you feel grounded in the moment and ready for what comes next. Every parent brings their own values and lived experiences—sometimes joyful, always complex—and I offer steady support and advocacy tailored to your unique path.
