Hi! I’m Alex…
An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant
Breastfeeding is not one size fits all. So you shouldn’t settle for one size fits all advice. I started Motherhood Blooms Lactation™ and became an IBCLC because I know how it feels when feeding your baby is challenging. I am passionate about helping you reach your breastfeeding goals because I didn’t have that support in my corner when I breastfed my first child.
After the birth of my first child, I discovered my passion for solving breastfeeding problems and supporting new moms. I had a very challenging time breastfeeding my firstborn and my struggles and experience seeking out support are what sparked this passion I didn’t know I had.
I faced low supply, painful breastfeeding, tongue tie, formula supplementing, syringe feeding, cup feeding, bottle feeding and pumping and more.
When we resolved our issues, I realized I wanted to help other parents breastfeed their babies and reach their goals so I went back to school as a brand new mom and spent the next 3 years studying and training to become an IBCLC.
I love educating and empowering new moms and soon-to-be parents in a safe, judgment-free environment.
I believe in an evidenced based approach. It is important to me that you receive accurate and up-to-date information. Because of this I use current research and first hand experience to support the information I share with you.
I also combine this with mindfulness practices to give my clients the best chance at feeling successful and reaching their desires for feeding their babies.
Mission
To educate and empower you with the knowledge, tools and resources you need to confidently breastfeed pain free. To help you find your confidence and listen to your intuition. I will support you on your breastfeeding journey(s) in a judgment free environment that you feel comfortable in.
Vision
My vision is for everyone to have access to the help and support they need to feel confident in their abilities to breastfeed. My vision is for mothers and lactating parents to feel supported to breastfeed their child or children for as long as they want and to end their journeys feeling just as supported.
Values
I feel everyone deserves support when feeding a baby. You deserve to feel respected and safe and your voice deserves to be heard. You deserve truthful and accurate information. I provide compassionate, non judgmental care.
I spent 8 years in the Health & Wellness industry focusing on holistic approaches to nutrition and healing. Because of that, I bring a holistic approach to all the families I work with.
