Hi, I'm Sam
I am a Lactation Consultant and Nurse with over a decade of experience in perinatal nursing. ,Since 2019, my focus has been infant feeding support, with a strong emphasis on longer, in-home consultations that allow time for comprehensive assessment, hands-on breastfeeding support, and individualized care planning
As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I hold the highest level of certification in lactation education. I also have additional training in tethered oral tissues, oral habilitation, and gut health.
I help identify and troubleshoot breastfeeding challenges and work with you to create a clear, practical plan to help you reach your feeding goals.
I offer in-home lactation consultations in Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, Guelph, Elmira, St. Jacobs, Fergus, Stratford, and surrounding areas.
