Breastfeeding

DAGG7jp6Tig

Breastfeeding in the western world is a bit of an uphill battle. With a few generations of poor lactation advice, inappropriate expectations for newborn behaviors there aren't enough expecting moms who understand what it takes to make it to their health goals of breastfeeding exclusively for 6 months and past 12 months as advised by the World Health Organization.

Working moms have it even harder as they are often separated from baby for regular intervals before baby is 6 months old.  

In this class you'll learn the breastfeeding equation and what working moms need to know to create a healthy breastfeeding relationships.

Hi, I'm Stefanie
For fifteen years, my deepest desire was to be a mother.  After a miraculous pregnancy I had a beautiful homebirth.  Then, I experienced trauma due to breastfeeding problems.  Navigating breastfeeding issues caused undiagnosed anxiety and resulted in self-isolation. 

I went on to have five more miracle babies and one angel baby.  I loved the baby and toddler years. However, my mental and emotional state, at that time, was dark. As my family grew and the daily pressures increased, I reached a "boiling point" and knew that something had to change.

I started seeking the help I needed and implementing changes that brought me from complete overwhelm and frustration to experiencing joy and peace as my new normal.

I know that a confident, joyful and peaceful mother experience is available to you.  I'd love to help you make sure you experience it.  If we can start you off on the right foot in pregnancy: how much easier will it be for you and the generations to come?
