Hello! I'm Tania Nuezca, and one of my passions is supporting families through their incredible journey of parenthood, particularly in the realms of childbirth education and lactation support. I would like to share my background and a little bit about myself. With over a decade of experience as a childbirth educator, I've dedicated myself to helping families navigate the exciting yet challenging transition into parenthood. Along the way, I've taken additional classes to hone my skills, delving into topics like spinning babies, rebozo use during pregnancy and labor, bengkung belly binding, and neonatal resuscitation. It's all part of my commitment to offering comprehensive support to families during this transformative time. Based in Humble, Atascocita, and Kingwood, I'm here for families in these areas and also travel out to Houston to support families, offering both in-person and virtual visits. Whether it's convenient for you to have a home, office, or virtual consultation, I'm here to provide the guidance and support families need. Beyond my childbirth education background, I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). My journey to becoming an IBCLC was inspired by my own experiences struggling with breastfeeding my three children. Through my own challenges, I developed a deep empathy for families facing similar struggles and a strong desire to provide them with the support they need from the very beginning. With a holistic approach to lactation support, I believe in addressing the needs of the whole person. I find immense reward in helping families feel empowered and confident in their feeding choices, knowing that they have the knowledge and support to nurture their little ones. Outside of my professional role, I cherish spending time with my family and friends, exploring the outdoors, and embarking on adventures. One of my biggest passions is learning sign language for my two deaf children and to support the broader D/deaf community, from pregnancy to lactation. My current skill level is conversational sign but am working on fluency and medical terminology. When it comes to supporting breastfeeding families, I recognize the importance of involving other family members, such as partners and grandparents, in the journey. Their support is invaluable in bolstering parents' confidence and empowerment. As a mom of two children with a rare genetic condition, I've spent many hours researching. I also use this determination when supporting new families. I enjoy researching to find the right answer for you. I tailor my support to meet the unique needs and preferences of each family by starting with open communication and truly listening to their concerns. When a mother is feeling uncertain or overwhelmed about breastfeeding, I provide a compassionate ear and work with them to develop a plan that aligns with their wishes and makes them feel empowered. I often recommend techniques like baby-led latch and laid-back breastfeeding, as I've seen firsthand how these methods can help babies achieve a successful latch and make the breastfeeding journey smoother for both parents and infants. In essence, I'm here to offer compassionate, personalized support to families as they embark on the extraordinary adventure of parenthood. If you're in need of guidance or encouragement along the way, I'm just a message away. Let's navigate this journey together!

Hi! I'm Ali and am happy to meet you! Drawing from my own personal encounters with breastfeeding, I've poured my heart into guiding mamas like you. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I can't emphasize enough the importance of understanding and support during this journey. When I think about my four kiddos and the challenges I faced with tongue and lip ties, it fills me with a fiery passion to make sure no momma feels alone in her breastfeeding quest. Embracing a holistic perspective, I firmly believe that the magic lies in wholehearted guidance, not just ticking off checklists. Having had the privilege of serving as a Mother/Baby nurse at St. Luke's the Woodlands Hospital and being a part of the amazing Texas Children’s Hospital team in the Houston Medical Center, I've witnessed the immense strength and resilience of mothers and their babies. Whether it's the NICU or an outpatient clinic, every mom and babe have a unique story, and I cherish being a part of it. Always learning, always growing, I'm active with the Houston Area Lactation Consultants and Educators Association (HALCEA), because there’s always something new on the horizon. But let me tell you, nothing compares to the joy of seeing new mothers discover their strength, trusting their instincts, and flourishing in their breastfeeding goals. When I’m not in my professional shoes, I’m fully immersed in the joy of homeschooling my children and being active in our church community. And speaking of communities, BCB feels like home. The kind of warmth and support I've felt here, especially during some challenging times, is what you'd expect from close-knit family. Working with clients and building relationships with some of the finest providers has been the cherry on top. So, let's do this together, y'all! Lean on my experience, my holistic approach, and my genuine wish to see you thrive in your breastfeeding journey. Here’s to new adventures and creating cherished memories! 💙

Hey there, I'm Priscilla Jackson, your go-to Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) ready to guide and cheer you on every step of your breastfeeding journey. From Cypress to Kingwood and Spring/Klein to Conroe, I'm here to offer support, encouragement, and a whole lot of love. My journey into lactation consulting was sparked by my own experiences as a young mother. When I had my son at 19, I was clueless about breastfeeding. But with the unwavering support of my son's aunt, an experienced IBCLC, we overcame every obstacle and breastfed for 3 amazing years. Her passion and dedication inspired me to pay it forward and become a lactation consultant myself. For the past 4.5 years, I've been proudly serving as a CLC, and I recently sat for the IBCLC exam in April 2024. With a holistic approach to lactation support, I believe in empowering moms and reminding them that they're doing an incredible job, even when the journey gets tough. The most rewarding part of my job? Being your biggest cheerleader. Whether you're navigating shallow latches, nipple shields, or breastfeeding jaundice, I'm here to provide the tools, encouragement, and unwavering support you need to reach your breastfeeding goals. When you're feeling uncertain or overwhelmed, remember that it's okay to adjust your goals and take things one step at a time. And as for techniques, I'm a big advocate for baby-led latch – because there's nothing more incredible than witnessing the natural instincts of a newborn baby. So, if you're ready to embark on this beautiful journey of breastfeeding, I'm here to be your guide, your confidante, and your biggest supporter. Let's make magic happen, one latch at a time. Outside of work, you'll find me indulging in my love for baseball and hockey with my family, escaping into the pages of a fantasy book for some much-needed alone time, or hitting the road for some camping adventures with my closest friends.

Hi there! I'm Amanda Wilson, RN IBCLC, but you can just call me Mandy. Let me give you a glimpse into my journey and approach to lactation support. My path to becoming an IBCLC was deeply personal. After facing my own breastfeeding struggles with my first son in 2015, I realized the critical need for accessible help and support. As a Labor and Delivery nurse, I made it my mission to aid new moms with breastfeeding, often becoming the go-to person when lactation support was scarce. This passion led me to obtain my IBCLC certification in December 2021, following years of dedication in the field. With a background in both nursing and lactation support, I blend the best of both worlds in my practice. I have a holistic approach, preferring conservative options and homeopathic remedies while valuing the importance of Western medicine when needed. What drives me most in my work is witnessing the triumphs of breastfeeding families. From setting goals to achieving milestones, I find immense joy in helping mothers bond with their babies through breastfeeding. Every family is unique, and I tailor my support accordingly. By discussing specific goals and concerns, I create individualized plans to meet their needs. And when uncertainty or overwhelm arises, I offer validation, simplification, and a focus on small victories. In my practice, I believe in the power of different techniques for different situations. From co-bathing to utilizing nipple shields when necessary, I advocate for responsive parenting and safe co-sleeping while educating parents on their options. Beyond my professional role, you'll find me hitting the pavement as an avid runner. For almost 25 years, Saturday mornings have been reserved for 10+ mile runs with my running crew. As Thomas Edison wisely said, "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always just to try one more time." This quote resonates deeply with me as I continue to support and empower breastfeeding families on their journeys.

Hello! I'm Dr. Emily Egan, a chiropractor dedicated to supporting families on their wellness journeys, particularly focusing on moms and babies. Let me share a bit about my background and what drives me in my practice. From a young age, I felt drawn to healthcare, driven by a desire to help others. However, it wasn't until a pivotal moment during a high school field trip to Texas Chiropractic College that I discovered my true calling. Witnessing the holistic and conservative approach of chiropractic care resonated deeply with me. I was captivated by the philosophy of addressing the root cause of issues rather than just treating symptoms. After completing my chiropractic education, I embarked on my professional journey, which has been incredibly rewarding. For about two years now, I've had the privilege of supporting families through their pre and post-natal experiences, specializing in chiropractic care for moms and babies. My approach to chiropractic support is rooted in a holistic and natural philosophy. I believe in empowering the body's innate ability to heal itself, using gentle techniques to encourage relaxation and stimulate the healing response, particularly in infants. One of the most fulfilling aspects of my work is witnessing the positive impact our comprehensive care has on breastfeeding families. From subtle changes between appointments to significant milestones, I take pride in being part of their journey toward optimal health and well-being. I firmly believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare, working closely with other specialists and our dedicated team at BCB to provide comprehensive support to families. By leveraging our collective expertise and resources, we can achieve remarkable results and empower families to thrive. I look forward to the opportunity to support you and your family on your wellness journey. Outside of my professional role, I lead a fulfilling life filled with diverse interests. Whether I'm engrossed in a good book, enjoying live music at concerts, or spending quality time with friends and my beloved animals, I find joy in every moment.

Hello wonderful parents! I’m Kayla. I’ve raised my 3 siblings on my own, and i am currently pregnant with my own son( due in July) I’ve also worked in plenty daycares since the age of 15. Therefore i have plenty of experience. I haven’t worked with any ages over 3 years old besides my siblings, so I’m not quite experienced with the older kids. I am however willing to give it a shot. I’m 20 years old( lol very quick on my feet to chase the littles) I’m currently a junior in college studying for my degree in early childhood. Your probably thinking A very young junior i know, but I graduated high school a year earlier than my class. Therefore I have all the capabilities to teach your littles and/or help with homework. However all of my classes are online so, I’m free whenever you need me to be. I’ve worked with children for years and I do it because it’s my passion. I want to be the best teacher there is & practicing with jobs such as these are a great help to me. Therefore I’m not looking for a big pay out, $10-15 is fine with me or even if you’re looking for something cheaper. I’m open to negotiating. You’re helping me by letting me help your family. Give me a shot! Talk soon <3
