About Jacqueline
Jacqueline is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a Bachelor Degree (BA) in Psychology. After college she wanted to make a difference in her community and accepted a job working with pregnant and postpartum teen Mothers. The interactions with those Mothers, along with her own experiences as a breastfeeding Mom fueled her passion for helping other families succeed in their breastfeeding journey.
Jacqueline understands the challenges that breastfeeding families face. She struggled to breastfeed her first child and had to exclusively pump. Jacqueline worked extensively with a Lactation Consultant with her subsequent children to overcome breastfeeding obstacles including food sensitivities, mastitis, and tongue ties; and is proud to have breastfed her boys beyond her initial goal of 1 year. Jacqueline’s youngest had his lip and tongue tie released at 10 days old, she understands the whole process from a personal and professional standpoint. Jacqueline knows that breastfeeding isn't always easy, and that help and support for a breastfeeding family can make all the difference in the world.
