Hello and Welcome!! 

I am a Midwife and Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with 15 years of experience working with new families. Because I am a registered midwife, lactation consulting services are covered by MSP up til 6 weeks postpartum.

I work virtually across the province!

I offer in person visits only in qathet (Powell River), BC. 

I strive to help all families to identify and meet their goals in a supportive and realistic way, that is inclusive of your own mental health and lifestyle. Things I commonly help with include:
 

• slow or low weight gain for baby

• low milk supply

• nipple pain and latch issues

• mental health resources and postpartum depression/anxiety

• assessing infant tongue function and sucking skills

• mastitis, yeast infection, milk blebs, blocked ducts

• pump use and flange fitting

• ergonomics, positions for feeding, paced bottle feeding

• breast or chest refusal

• Individualized feeding care plan for babies

• Nipple Shield use or weaning off

• Returning home from the NICU or extra support while in the NICU at RCH

​

           I look forward to meeting you soon!
                           Sincerely, 

                                                           Carlie
