A former Level III NICU nurse and mom of four boys — including her own experience navigating tongue and lip ties with each of them — Lauren brings deep clinical expertise and real empathy to every family she works with.
A little about what drives me, what I love about being a lactation consultant, and life outside of being an IBCLC.
I've always loved working with babies, which led me to become a Level III NICU nurse for over five years. It was there that I developed a passion for breastfeeding and helping new moms establish and reach their own individual feeding goals.
I pride myself on building real rapport with my patients — I believe that connection is key to successful outcomes. My NICU background also gave me a deep appreciation for education; helping families understand their options gives them the tools to succeed on their own feeding journey.
Confidence and clarity throughout your feeding journey. Having worked closely with emotionally vulnerable moms in both the NICU and on postpartum floors, I deeply value maternal mental health — I'll provide emotional support while helping you work toward whatever your ideal feeding journey looks like.
I'm a mom to four boys and have personally breastfed my kids for nine years combined — including navigating tongue and lip ties with each of them. That journey gives me real empathy for families facing the same challenges, and zero judgment for wherever your journey takes you.
Lauren supports families across the entire Chicago area, including the Northwest Suburbs, the Western Suburbs, and Aurora & Fox Valley.
