Hi there,
Sometimes breastfeeding is hard…

I’m here to help!

As the only private practice International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) between Edmonton and Grande Prairie, I am dedicated to helping you prepare for the best breastfeeding relationship with your baby.

Seeking out support prenatally is the best way to ensure a great start to nursing your new babe. While it may be natural, it doesn’t always come naturally and knowing what to expect and how to deal with the most common challenges before they become overwhelming. No one needs the extra stress in the days after birth.

If baby is already here and you’re already stressed – take heart, I have all the tools you need to help turn it around. If you are experiencing any issues with breastfeeding, time is of the essence – head over to my booking page and choose a time that works for you.

What is a lactation Consultant?

A lactation consultant is a health professional who specializes in the clinical management of breastfeeding. The International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners certifies lactation consultants who meet its criteria and have passed its exam.

I can’t recommend Leeann enough! I reached out to her with my 3rd baby, when I was having some hiccups. She was SO knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. She was able to diagnose the issue in a matter of minutes, and turn my nursing experience around. Don’t hesitate to reach out – you won’t regret it! – Jacqueline R.

I was really overwhelmed with the kindness and support that Leeann has shown me on my breastfeeding journey. I came to her in a very desperate and frustrated state, she displayed such compassion to me and I felt cared about, my concerns were taken seriously, my feelings were validated and I felt very welcomed. Not only is Leeann kind and compassionate but she is a wealth of information. She is very well educated and takes pride in the work she does.
I highly recommend booking with Leeann! – Brandy F

I highly recommend going to see Leeann if you are on your breastfeeding journey. She helped to put my mind at ease as well as answered so many questions for me. My only complaint is that I didn’t find her earlier! – Tyra W.
