Hi, I’m Jenell!
My journey into lactation consulting began after the birth of my first child at 32 weeks. As a new mom of a NICU baby, I experienced firsthand how overwhelming infant feeding challenges could feel, and wished I had more personalized support during that season of life.
After becoming a nurse and later a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, I pursued lactation consulting to provide families with the compassionate evidenced-based guidance I once needed myself.
As the mother of three, with three very different feeding journeys, I understand each mom and baby pair is unique. After more than 10 years supporting breastfeeding families in primary care I’m now bringing that care directly into the comfort of your home.
Are you pregnant and wondering what you’ll do if breastfeeding does not go as planned? Are you feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, worried about pain, or unsure how breastfeeding will fit into your life once your baby arrives? Whether you’re hoping to breastfeed, exclusively pump, combination feed, or simply want a plan that works for you, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
The Balanced Baby Method TM is a comprehensive, individualized feeding approach that goes beyond simply feeding your baby. It focuses on creating balance between nourishment, bonding, maternal wellbeing, and infant development.
