About Laci
Laci has been working with infants and supporting new families since 2015. She began her career as a certified postpartum doula and certified babywearing educator. She quickly discovered that a large portion of her time spent with families was on breastfeeding support. This led her to pursue her certification as an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and her Bachelor's of Science in Child Maternal Health. She is originally from southern California and, yes, the winters here are difficult for her. In her free time, she enjoys reading, traveling, exploring antique stores, and spending time with her family.
Some of the challenges Laci faced when feeding her own children were: low milk supply, painful latch, tongue/lip tie, mastitis, thrush, pumping, returning to work, over supply (2nd child), tandem feeding, and postpartum depression/anxiety.
What to expect when working with Laci
She genuinely loves babies. She is passionate about establishing a care plan that is best suited for you and your feeding goals. She is always seeking solutions in which everyone thrives. Laci brings her experience, compassion, and the desire to address the root cause of issues instead of offering quick fixes to every consult.

About Jessica
Jessica has been supporting new parents and babies since 2009. She began her journey as a La Leche League Leader when she was answering more questions than she was asking in meetings. Jessica was a LLL Leader for over 10 years and worked as a postpartum doula and with BabyWearing International. All of these things led to being certified as an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2016. This was quite a big change from life as a Graphic Designer with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Nevertheless, it was a great move to supporting and advocating for families full time. Jessica is the current co-chair of the Loudoun Breastfeeding Coalition and enjoys teaching expecting parents and everyone she meets. Jessica is originally from the Midwest but grew up as an Army Brat so a little bit of everywhere. Jessica has three kids, one at VCU, a rising high schooler who plays ice hockey all year and the youngest in middle school who is trying to bankrupt her family with her love of horses. She spends any free time reading and adding books to her TBR.
Some of the challenges Jessica faced when feeding her own children were: oversupply/overactive let-down, clogged ducts, mobility issues in early postpartum, returning to work and pumping.
What to expect when working with JESSICA
Jessica will meet you where you’re at, offering a judgement-free zone. She will integrate her experience and expertise with your personal knowledge of yourself and your baby. Together, you can collaborate to help you meet your goals, and I will support you through any challenges that may arise.
