Hello! I have been a lactation consultant for 13 years and was an RN on a postpartum unit for 16 years as well. Helping moms and babies is my passion and I truly love what I do! I believe in giving you the education and tools you need to have a successful breastfeeding journey. I give compassionate and expert care and will create a plan for you and baby based on your unique needs and concerns so it's tailor-made, just for you!

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.

I’ve been an IBCLC, in private practice since 1987. I’m the mother of 10 breastfed children including a set of twins, and 9 grandchildren. I have encountered pretty much every type of Breastfeeding issue there is in my years of practice. I love what I do. I accept most insurance with the exception of Medicaid as the state will not allow us to do so. Visit my website to learn more.
