Chattanooga Lactation Welcome to Chattanooga Lactation, where families receive personalized, evidence-based support for breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, and all things infant feeding. Our team of experienced IBCLCs (International Board Certified Lactation Consultants) provides compassionate lactation support to families throughout Chattanooga, Ooltewah, Cleveland, East Ridge, Hixson, Northshore, Red Bank, Signal Mountain, Ringgold, Fort Oglethorpe, and surrounding communities. We know feeding a baby doesn’t always go as planned. Whether you’re struggling with latch, painful nursing, low milk supply, slow infant weight gain, pumping, bottle refusal, oral function, breast or nipple pain, or transitioning back to work, you don’t have to figure it out alone. At Chattanooga Lactation, we look beyond the latch. We take time to understand the whole picture and create a feeding plan that works for you, your baby, and your family—whether that means breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, formula feeding, or a combination of methods. Our goal is simple: real support without judgment. We’re here to help you feel confident, informed, and supported throughout your feeding journey. You don’t have to do this alone. ❤️

From the start of my career as a Physician Assistant, I was drawn to pediatrics and the mother-baby dyad. My PA journey kicked off on the pediatric ward at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, NY, where I was completely captivated by caring for children and families. Then, life brought me to Central NJ, where I had the opportunity to work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, caring for some of the tiniest, most vulnerable patients. I became a board-certified lactation consultant and was thrilled to offer lactation consultations and make a real difference for new parents and babies. Bringing together my neonatal and pediatric medical experience with lactation and breastfeeding medicine has been incredibly rewarding! I’m proud to be board-certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants and the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners. But I didn’t stop there—I went on to get a Master's in Healthcare Administration from the University of Maryland, and I’ve continued to push myself to learn and grow in every way possible. I’ve trained in advanced bodywork techniques, including craniosacral therapy (CST) through the Upledger Institute and the Barnes Myofascial Release method. I’ve also attended the Oral Habilitation of the Breastfeeding Dyad course three times! Continuing education is a constant for me because I believe there’s always more to learn when it comes to helping families. I have 2 locations, in Edison and Brick, NJ and have focused on creating a collaborative practice which includes other specialists as well. Whether it’s kayaking, biking, or tending to our organic and medicinal garden, my family and I like finding new ways to stay active and connected with nature.

I own and operates Mother Nurture Maternity, a private lactation practice where I provides breastfeeding education and support from the prenatal period all the way through weaning!

I committed to providing accessible, skilled, and compassionate breastfeeding and perinatal services. It is a great honor and privilege to provide customized support as an advocate, facilitator, and clinician in GA and beyond. Both in person and virtual support available and I accept many insurance plans.

Hi everyone! I’m Sarah, an IBCLC and the founder of Sweet Nectar Lactation & Infant Feeding Support.

My approach is all about support without pressure, meeting you where you are, and helping you feel confident in your feeding journey. I believe every baby and parent deserve care that’s both evidence-based and deeply compassionate, and that’s what I aim to provide.

Hi, I’m Amanda! Mama of 2 boys, Registered Nurse, Childbirth Educator, IBCLC and Sleep Consultant! I have over 10 years experience in Maternal Child Health, including labor and delivery, postpartum support, and pediatric care. My own personal struggles of entering into motherhood brought my attention to the gaps in the current system as well as the lack of support for mamas and new families which propelled me to share my expertise out in the community. I am committed to providing evidence based information and judgement free support. If you are looking for someone to come alongside you, encourage you, and be a part of your team during this transition, I would be honored to support you!

Hello! I'm Lauren the founder of Lactation with Lauren. I am a RN since 2009 at a large birthing hospital in Maryland and an IBCLC for the last 8 years and counting. I love that each family I work with has their own story and their own journey. I am honored to be part of each situation as we find the next right thing and reach personalized goals. When I am not using my IBCLC skills I love to spend time with my husband, 3 school aged kids, and standard poodle. We enjoy visiting extended family members spread out along the East Coast, hiking in Patapsco State Park and traveling by airplane to new places when we have extra time together.

Hello everyone! My Name is Kirsten Halstead. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with more than 25 years of lactation support experience, and a Registered Nurse with over 35 years of experience in maternal child nursing, I can provide you with the care and support to help you meet your feeding goals. I understand the importance of providing support for parents as they navigate the joys and challenges of breastfeeding. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it! Human milk is the best nutrition for baby humans, as it is specifically tailored to their needs. Breastfeeding is also a learned skill that is traditionally passed down through families. In the past, all babies were breastfed and new parents had the support of their own family members to guide them through the process. Today, many parents may not live close to their extended families, and the availability of formula has led to a decline in breastfeeding knowledge and rates. It's important to remember that breastfeeding is a natural and beautiful thing, and with the right support and resources, most parents can learn to breastfeed successfully.

Hello everyone, my name is Maria and I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with over ten years of experience supporting families through every stage of their feeding journey. My approach is rooted in patience, respect, and a no pressure philosophy, because I believe care should feel empowering, never overwhelming. I’ve worked across virtual, bedside, and outpatient settings, and I’ve had the privilege of teaching RNs and MDs about lactation support in hospital environments. I also lead community outreach efforts, including prenatal breastfeeding classes that center warmth, clarity, and cultural sensitivity. Currently, I’m accepting new clients and proudly partnering with Wildflower and The Lactation Network to expand access to compassionate, evidence-based care. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, I’m here to support you with calm, judgment-free guidance tailored to your needs.

Babies have always been my passion! Like Tisha said, I always knew my career would be working with babies. I applied to nursing school knowing I was going to work in OB and that's exactly what I did. After having my first child in 2014 I realized the need for more lactation consultants. I struggled a lot with him and had no one to turn to for answers, so I began doing my own research. I was determined to make this work. And that is how my lactation career started! I started my lactation training not even knowing if I would be able to get a job doing what I had become so passionate about. My family and I made some life changes and everything fell right into place. Tisha and I always casually talked about starting a business but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would actually happen. But here we are! I absolutely love my job and could talk about breastfeeding all day long. I strive to do everything I can to help each mom meet their personal breastfeeding goals. I am very passionate about tongue ties and food allergies in breastfeeding since I personally experienced that with my 2 nursing journeys. Breastfeeding does not come naturally for everyone and it definitely isn't as easy as some think. That's why I have made it my life mission to educate every mom and give them all the tools and support needed to be successful!

Hello, I’m Mandisa L’Bert-Kaalima, RN-BSN, IBCLC, proudly serving families in Summit County. I bring over 14 years of experience in healthcare, having worked in local hospitals throughout Akron and most recently within a Community-Based Organization. These experiences have given me valuable insight into the challenges and barriers many mothers face when working toward their breastfeeding and infant feeding goals. For more than 8 years, I have supported mothers on their breastfeeding journeys—beginning as a NICU staff nurse and Certified Breastfeeding Counselor, and later as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). My IBCLC work has spanned postpartum, labor and delivery, special care nurseries, and now the community setting. As a mother of three who experienced my own breastfeeding challenges, I understand firsthand how difficult this journey can be—especially without education and support. At Nurtured by Mandisa, we offer a range of services designed to meet families where they are, including prenatal education, interactive breastfeeding workshops, private in-home visits, virtual consultations, monthly support groups, and personalized one-on-one sessions. My goal is to support you with compassion and encouragement, helping you meet your infant feeding goals while celebrating every milestone in a nurturing and supportive environment.

From pregnancy through weaning, The Latch Link supports parents with everything from latch and milk supply to pumping, bottle feeding, oral function concerns, and more. The mission is simple: to give every mother the clarity, confidence, and support she deserves — no judgment, no confusion, just truly skilled care.
