I'm Kendra, Mom of 4, Registered Nurse, Craniosacral Therapist and Certified Lactation Consultant.
I struggled with breastfeeding with all four of my children and I know firsthand how frustrated you might feel. I relied on lactation consultants to get me through those first few weeks/months and when I moved to Manitoba, I saw the need for other parents to receive this support when struggling with feeding their littles.
My passion for the work I do started with every one of my children having tongue and/or lip ties and the support of a consultant completely changed the trajectory of my journey and now I am helping others do the same!
With our first child, I had every issue possible; cracked, bleeding nipples, tongue tie, mastitis, thrush, oversupply, and an overactive letdown. I didn't know that breastfeeding wasn't supposed to be this difficult. When I found the right IBCLC to work with, everything got better.
I have been a registered nurse for 10 years working on a postpartum unit for all those years as well as some casual work in the emergency department and at the Alberta Children’s Hospital. Whether you are looking for a Prenatal consult to talk about what to expect or are looking for how to have the best outcome for your feeding goals I would love to help you. Whether it is breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, your specific needs are so important which is why my packages are custom to you and what you are going through. I look forward to supporting you in your journey.
Kendra
