Sabrina De La Rosa

7 years of experience

Welcome! I’m Sabrina de la Rosa, an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), dedicated to supporting mothers and babies on their breastfeeding journey. As a mother of four, all of whom I breastfed, I understand the challenges and joys that come with breastfeeding. My passion for lactation began in 2016, inspired by my own experience as a new mother. This led me to become a breastfeeding support volunteer, and ultimately to pursue certification as an IBCLC. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Maternal Child Health from UI&U, which deepened my understanding of the unique needs of mothers and infants. For over 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching pilates and wellness practices to women in my community, blending my love for fitness with my commitment to health. This holistic approach to well-being is the foundation of my lactation practice. Through my private practice, Nature’s Nectar Lactation Support, I offer personalized, compassionate lactation care to mothers and babies in the Rio Grande Valley. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to achieve your breastfeeding goals. Whether you are struggling with latch issues, low milk supply, or just need guidance along the way, I am here to help. I also work with the State of Texas through the Department of Public Health, advocating for maternal and infant health and supporting families in achieving optimal health outcomes. Living in Texas with my husband and four children, I am deeply honored to serve my community and help mothers achieve success with breastfeeding. I believe that breastfeeding is not just about nourishment—it’s about creating a powerful bond between mother and child. I look forward to supporting you and your baby on this incredible journey.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am beyond grateful for the exceptional lactation services provided by Sabrina de la Rosa at Nature’s Nectar Lactation Support. As a new mom, I was struggling with breastfeeding and had so many questions and concerns. From the moment I reached out, [Your Name] was so understanding, patient, and knowledgeable. She took the time to thoroughly explain everything, making sure I felt empowered and confident. Her personalized support and expertise have made all the difference in my breastfeeding journey. She not only helped me with latch issues, but also provided invaluable tips on milk supply, comfort, and self-care. Her warm and compassionate approach made me feel supported every step of the way. I also appreciated that Sabrina took the time to follow up with me regularly, ensuring everything was going smoothly and offering continued support. I truly feel like she’s part of my village, and I know my baby and I are thriving thanks to her help. If you're looking for a lactation consultant who genuinely cares, is highly skilled, and offers personalized support, look no further than Nature’s Nectar Lactation Support. I highly recommend her services! Thank you for everything, Krystal Garza! 💖

I can not recommend Heather enough. She helped me through one of my most vulnerable times and became a key player in my breastfeeding success. Heather accurately identified tongue, lip, and cheek ties in my daughter and helped shed light on why we had been having feeding issues. She supported us through our decision to get her ties revised and helped us navigate her recovery. Heather is an expert in her field and continues to be a main source of support with my breastfeeding journey. I am so happy we found Heather and would recommend her whole heartedly to anyone who finds themselves overwhelmed or struggling with breastfeeding.

We called Erica when we were extremely desperate with our colicky newborn. We needed help not only medically but also mentally and emotionally. Erica came to our house and explained to us everything pertaining breastfeeding, checked our baby and took her time to explain to us a lot of things we needed to know. As first time parents, the birth of a child is a difficult journey, but Erica was patient, caring, and answered every one of our questions with easy to understand language and walked us through how to navigate our new life. When Erica left our house, we had peace of mind, we felt understood, cared for, and our burden stopped being so heavy. She was the first person (even before her pediatrician) to suggest that our forever crying baby had reflux, and from that day on we were able to treat her accordingly. I cannot recommend Erica enough, the only thing I regret, is not having called her sooner.

Dr. Burton has truly been a life saver for me and my family. After two years of trying to convince myself to seek the right kind of care, I finally found her, and I’m so grateful I did. She cared not only for me, but also for my husband and our two children when she was practicing in Indiana. She was my doula for both my very first birth and my last birth, and I couldn’t have imagined having anyone else by my side. Her presence, guidance, and support made all the difference for me and my family during those sacred milestones. Although I was saddened to hear that she was closing her Indiana location and relocating to the DMV area, I completely understand her decision as she continues advancing her education and completing her clinical preceptorship. While she now focuses specifically on Women’s Health and Maternity, I’m happy to know that I can still continue with her as a Telehealth patient. Meeting Dr. Burton in Indiana was a blessing for our household. Her compassion, knowledge, and dedication to holistic care have made a lasting impact on our health and well being. Even though her practice has shifted, I remain grateful that she was part of our journey and look forward to continuing my care with her in this next chapter.

Hi there, I’m Ellie! I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), a registered nurse with years of experience in Level IV NICUs—and a mom of two boys, each with their own hard, imperfect feeding journey. I know what it's like to be sore, sleep-deprived, and wondering if you're doing any of this right. That's exactly why I do this work. When a mom feels supported in the postpartum season, everything gets a little lighter—for her, her baby, and her whole family. My job is to bring answers and encouragement right when you need them most. Best of all, my services can be covered by insurance plans, meaning many families pay nothing at all.

Ellie is absolutely amazing and everyone needs an Ellie in their corner! I met her two months into my nursing journey when I was struggling immensely and feeling completely overwhelmed. Before finding her, I had already sought out help from several different IBCLCs, but Ellie was a breath of fresh air. She took the time to really listen to me, brainstorm practical solutions, and was so empathetic and kind every step of the way. Ellie made me feel so supported and truly stood by me as a valued partner through what has been one of the toughest, most vulnerable times so far for me. She totally gets the unique struggles that nursing can come with, and she always comes prepared to tackle absolutely anything together with you. Beyond her incredible expertise, she is just so genuinely sweet and kind. Ellie will champion you every single step of the way, celebrating all of your wins and successes—no matter how small. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

I’ve worked with Julee for over two years - as a first time mom who wanted to exclusively breastfeed my daughter, i struggled with nipple pain. Thankfully, we met Julee who supported us with a unique care plan and walked us through our breastfeeding journey, from establishing my supply while I was on maternity leave to maintaining my supply via pumping at work, and even working with our caregivers to bottlefeed baby in a way that supported the transition from bottle back to breast. She is also helping our second baby through some tongue and lip tie issues. Julee is truly a jack of all trades, allowing us to receive support and treatment for all things related to feeding without having to see multiple specialists. I don’t think I would’ve reached my breastfeeding goals without her expertise and support. Thank you, Julee!

Hello! My name is Doracelis. I am a proud mother of five beautiful children and am based in Lady Lake, Florida. Over the past 19 years, my children have taught me that every individual is completely unique, each with their own distinct needs and personality. My passion for supporting families led me to become a WIC lactation counselor in 2015. To expand my care, I became a certified Postpartum Doula in 2020, focusing on the wellness of mothers and their newborns. In 2022, I earned my certification as a Birth Doula, allowing me to offer full-spectrum support throughout the entire pregnancy, labor, and delivery process. Every family I have served has taught me something valuable, and I am honored to share this wealth of knowledge with you. If you are looking for a dedicated Doula to guide you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I am here to answer your questions and support you every step of the way. Please remember: you are not alone in this beautiful journey. God bless you. ¡Hola! Mi nombre es Doracelis. Soy la orgullosa madre de cinco hermosos hijos y me encuentro en Lady Lake, Florida. A lo largo de estos últimos 19 años, mis hijos me han enseñado que cada ser humano es completamente único, con sus propias necesidades y personalidad. Mi pasión por apoyar a las familias me llevó a certificarme como consejera de lactancia para el programa WIC en el 2015. Con el deseo de ampliar mi conocimiento, en el 2020, me certifiqué como Doula Postparto, enfocándome en el bienestar de la madre y su bebé. Luego, en el 2022, completé mi certificación como Doula de Parto, lo que me permite brindar un acompañamiento completo durante el embarazo, el trabajo de parto y el nacimiento. Cada familia a la que he servido me ha dejado una gran enseñanza, y para mí es un honor compartir este conocimiento contigo. Si estás buscando una Doula dedicada que te guíe en tu embarazo, parto y postparto, estoy aquí para responder tus preguntas y servirte en todo lo que necesites.
