20 years of experience

I am a registered nurse with a baccalaureate degree in nursing. Similarly an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I studied at Helene Fuld College of Nursing in NYC and received my nursing degree in 1995. My background in nursing consists of working with adults in medical-surgical, MICU and home health settings. The past thirteen years of my career consists of caring for the neonatal population, and the dyad of mother and child. This allowed me to further my training and education, having received my certification in Low Risk Neonatal Nursing and graduating from Rasmussen College with the status of Magma Cum Laude; receiving my BSN. I was inspired to become a Lactation Consultant after working in the Maternal Child Division at Tampa General Hospital. I have experienced the different challenges that so many women face with breastfeeding, and wanted to be of further help. I personally know how rewarding this experience can be having breast fed two of my three children. To achieve the status of an International Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC); in addition to my work experience I studied with Marie Biancuzzo of Breastfeeding Outlook and took a proctored international board certified exam. I have worked for two major hospitals in the capacity as a lactation consultant/neonatal nurse and similarly started my own private practice. I have volunteered at the Baby Café, attended La Leche League meetings and joined the International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA), to remain current in my practice with evidence-based information. This also allows me to continue educating, encouraging and empowering the dyad of mom/ baby on their breastfeeding journey. I am passionate about supporting breastfeeding mothers with their personal goals and normalizing breastfeeding for this and following generations. It is my goal to provide lactation support and counseling whenever and wherever possible.

Recent lactation consultant reviews near St. Petersburg

I had my first prenatal consultation with Keneda and it truly went amazing. She was so incredibly personable, warm, and really easy to talk to which made me feel comfortable right away! She took the time to throughly explain breastfeeding, including latching techniques, hand expressing, and what to realistically expect once my baby arrives so I’m well prepared. I really appreciate how patient and knowledgeable she was, she didn’t rush through anything and made sure all my questions were answered. I definitely feel more confident and prepared for my breastfeeding journey and can’t wait to continue learning from her once my baby arrives and get that hands on guidance and support. It’s also amazing that she offers in home visits which makes the whole experience 10x better and convenient during such an important time. I highly recommend her to any other mamas looking for guidance and support, you’ll definitely be in good hands!

— Chanel Cordon, review of Keneda lynch May 2026

We met Keneda from Latch of Love at MOAB in Tampa, and from the very first interaction she was incredibly genuine and kind. After our baby arrived, we scheduled an appointment with her and I’m so glad we did. She made me feel completely comfortable, never made me feel silly for the questions I had, and took the time to explain everything in a way that really built my confidence. Her guidance truly set me up for breastfeeding success, and I’m so grateful for her support during such an important (and sometimes overwhelming) time. I’m already looking forward to our next appointment! I highly recommend her to any new mom looking for knowledgeable, compassionate help!

— Jackie, review of Keneda lynch April 2026

I came to Keneda at 3 weeks postpartum because I was struggling with both latching and pumping. At the time, I never thought I would be able to exclusively breastfeed, I was a severe undersupplier and felt completely discouraged. Now, at 2 months postpartum, I’m not only exclusively breastfeeding and pumping, but I’ve built a freezer stash and even become an oversupplier! Keneda taught me everything I needed to know, from proper pumping techniques and schedules to flange sizing, as well as effective breastfeeding positions and techniques. I walked into our session feeling completely lost, and left with so much confidence and knowledge. Even though we only had one session, Keneda went above and beyond by checking in with me regularly through text, offering continued support, and answering any questions I had. I truly owe so much of my success to her and can’t recommend her enough.
