ABOUT ME

My name is Chandra and I have been a dedicated lactation advocate for over 18 years. I gave birth to my daughter in 2008 and my son in 2019. I worked closely with midwives and birth doulas for both my pregnancies and gained an undeniable love for the women who support women through such a precious time in their lives. I don’t think I would have had a successful nursing journeying if it wasn’t for this support. I decided to become an IBCLC soon after my son was born. My lives mission is to help other families in their personal breastfeeding goals.
