Hello! My name is Amanda and I love helping new families find their groove. I am a Registered Nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.

Amanda Linderman is an experienced registered nurse, beginning her career in 2010 working in pediatrics, where her specialty was the Pediatric ICU for 7 years. In 2019, she transitioned to supporting postpartum mothers. Her passion for this field and her personal experience as a new Mother, led her to attain her IBCLC certification in the same year. Amanda's current role involves assisting new mothers during the initial three days post-birth and providing specialized care for NICU infants in the hospital setting.

I'm an experienced IBCLC who has a passion for finding -and working to resolve- root causes. I love "lactation detective work" for complex cases and I love grounding myself in the biological norm as a blueprint for breastfeeding. I work hard to be inclusive in my practice in every way possible. I have especially deep dived into issues surrounding tongue tie and low milk supply. I have 4 kids who have helped me understand, more than anything, that there is more than one "right" way to parent. I believe in the instincts of the parents I work with and always honor their place as the primary member(s) of the infant feeding team.

Hi! My name is Heather Carreon. I am a Registered Nurse and IBCLC. I have over 10 years experience with postpartum mothers and infants. I live in Clayton, NC with my husband 3 children. Although I had knowledge as a lactation consultant and postpartum nurse, my personal breastfeeding experience as a new mother was definitely an educational process. I struggled in various ways with my own infants and sought help from colleagues. My personal journey has given me a new and relatable perspective about the breastfeeding challenges mothers face. Without tailored guidance in the early weeks, breastfeeding can be very frustrating. My aim is to provide you with compassionate support and education to help families reach their breastfeeding goals.

I truly enjoy teaching moms, cheering them on, and celebrating all of their victories and milestones.
