I'm Samantha Armbruster
I am a mother of 2, IBCLC, and former Maternity Nurse. My experience breastfeeding my own children, alongside my clinical background, has shaped my passion for supporting families through pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum. I offer in-home and virtual lactation support from prenatal preparation through weaning.
My Story
I have been a Registered Practical Nurse since 2012. After I graduated, I followed my passion into Maternal Newborn Nursing. I worked on Postpartum and Paediatrics for the majority of my career. In 2018 I welcomed my first baby, after this, I realized how important it was for new mother's to have access to community support when experiencing feeding challenges. I wrote the IBCLC board exam in 2019, and officially became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. Since becoming an IBCLC I spend my time supporting breastfeeding mothers from pregnancy, through to weaning, as well as instructing breastfeeding classes for The Baby Academy. I also have additional training in oral function, and gut-brain connection. I provide holistic care, looking at mother's and infant's individual needs, and I do not use one size fits all approaches. My practice is private, allowing me to offer longer visits, flexible scheduling, and care without the need for a doctor's referral. I recognize the importance of being in your own environment while resting, recovering, and adjusting to motherhood; which is why I provide consultations from the comfort of your home. I travel to Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, Guelph, Elmira, St. Jacobs, Stratford, Listowel and Fergus.
