Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in St. Thomas, ON

Christina Johnson BSPH, CBD, CPD, CCLS, CLC, IBCLC. I am a mother of two. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health from Wayne State University in 2018. I became a Certified Lactation Counselor in 2018, completed the Clinical and Communication Lactation Specialist training in 2021, and then passed the International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant exam in 2023. I'm certified as a birth and postpartum doula by Lifespan Doulas. Love for my own family and my community has led me to focus on health education, promoting awareness of human lactation, and assisting in extending breastfeeding duration and exclusivity for the families I serve. I am passionate about accessible lactation care and enthusiastic about health and wellness promotion and youth development. My goal is simply to aid others in being healthy and keeping their family healthy. My expertise is in maternal and child health, emphasizing a positive breastfeeding experience and an active family lifestyle. I love to support parents in reaching their breastfeeding goals and guiding them when life circumstances limit their breastfeeding goals. The combination of these values led me to launch Lactation Lighthouse.

Hi, my name is Jyssica Honey. I’ve been a certified full-spectrum doula since 2020, and I’m also a lactation counselor, herbalist, and mama of two. I’m deeply passionate about helping women feel supported, seen, and empowered as they move through the sacred journey from pregnancy into motherhood. Whether it’s birth, postpartum, abortion, or loss. I offer care that’s rooted in love, ancestral wisdom, and gentle guidance. My work blends practical support with herbal healing and a whole lot of heart, because I believe every woman deserves to feel held, heard, and honored every step of the way.

I have more two decades of training and practice as a Maternal Child Health Specialist. For nearly a decade, I worked in a private practice in New York, where nearly a thousand families are served each year, before moving to the greater Detroit area. I sat boards and became certified as an IBCLC in 2010. My university education was uniquely focused on the history of women and infant health care and nutrition as well as practical assessment and support of new families. I have helped women conquer the often challenging stages of lactation. From issues with newborn latching to pain and increasing milk production, I have worked with women to help them have successful nursing experiences – whatever that means for them. As a guest lecturer at medical schools, I have been called upon to teach medical students, interns, and residents in pediatrics and obstetrics about lactation, and have been called in by obstetricians and pediatricians to consult on breastfeeding topics. I earned my Bachelors of Science in Maternal and Child Health and Lactation Consulting at the Union Institute and University of Cincinnati, OH. I am the mother of six and nursed them all for a combined total of over 14 years!

Angel Wauthier is a Pregnancy, Birth & Breastfeeding Specialist and founder of Fruit of the Womb Perinatal Services. After two births ended in C-sections at 31 weeks followed by two NICU stays, she entered her next pregnancy knowing she didn’t want to simply hope things would be different—she wanted to prepare differently. That search changed not only her own birth experiences, but the way she understood pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. Angel went on to have four vaginal births after two C-sections and discovered what would become the foundation of her work: pregnancy affects birth, birth affects breastfeeding, and better preparation starts long before labor. Today, Angel helps women—especially those coming into pregnancy after a difficult, high-risk, intervention-heavy, or disappointing experience—prepare for the whole journey. Her natural-first, physiology-centered approach connects pregnancy wellness, nutrition, body preparation, childbirth education, advocacy, breastfeeding preparation, lactation care, and infant support. Rather than simply hoping this time will be different, Angel helps women understand what they can influence, know their options, and prepare their bodies and minds for a healthier pregnancy, a more natural birth, and a stronger start to breastfeeding.

I’m Sam! I am an internationally board certified lactation consultant as well as a trained postpartum and birth doula. I always knew I wanted to work with babies and families and started off as a professional nanny. Then when I had my first and started breastfeeding I fell in love with it and was such an advocate for everyone to breastfeed. It wasn’t until my 2nd daughter that I even knew lactation consultants were a thing. I got referred to one and when I met her she changed the game. So I went to Henry Ford College to get my certification and graduated from the lactation program in 2022. I understand firsthand the challenges and joys that come with feeding your baby, and I’m here to provide compassionate, personalized care to help you feel confident every step of the way. Every feeding journey is different just like every baby and parent is.

Hi Families! I’m a certified birth and postpartum doula serving families across the GTA, with a strong presence in the Peel Region. I specialize in lactation and breastfeeding support, offering compassionate, evidence-based care to help families feel confident and supported throughout their journey into parenthood. My approach is rooted in the belief that there is no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to birth, feeding, or postpartum care. Every family is unique, and I take the time to understand your values, goals, and needs so I can provide personalized, respectful support that aligns with your vision. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating early feeding, or adjusting to life with a newborn, I’m here to walk alongside you with patience, warmth, and encouragement. Beyond my work as a doula, I’m a proud mother to my 8-year-old daughter, who continues to inspire my passion for supporting other families. In my free time, I enjoy expressing creativity through art and spending time gardening—both of which ground me and bring a sense of balance to the nurturing work I do. I’m honored to be part of such an important chapter in your life and look forward to supporting you every step of the way.

Hi, I’m Courtney, the owner of Simply Nurture Lactation + Support LLC. I’m a Certified Lactation Specialist (CLS) and Certified Educator of Infant Massage (CEIM), and I’m passionate about supporting families through pregnancy, postpartum, and every stage of their feeding journey. I work with families in the Warren, Ohio area and offer both in-home and virtual support, creating a calm, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, supported, and confident in your choices. My focus includes latch and positioning, milk supply, prenatal education, and helping parents build a strong, connected bond with their baby through infant massage. As a mom myself, I truly understand how overwhelming this season can feel at times. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are, offer guidance that feels doable, and support you in a way that aligns with your goals. When I’m not working with families, you can usually find me spending time with my own, camping, fishing, or in my garden—those simple moments are what keep me grounded and inspired in the work I do.
