A self-described "problem solver and science nerd," Lynn draws on a Master's in Public Health and years as a postpartum nurse to help families work through even complex breastfeeding challenges — available both in-home and via telehealth.
A little about what drives me, what I love about being a lactation consultant, and life outside of being an IBCLC.
My Master's thesis in Public Health — researching social support and self-efficacy with La Leche League in Guatemala — first showed me how deeply support shapes a family's breastfeeding journey. After years in public health with WIC and then as a postpartum nurse, I pursued my IBCLC certification to sharpen my expertise and better support the families I work with.
I'm a problem solver by nature and a bit of a science nerd — I love using up-to-date knowledge of physiology, pharmacology, and biology to help families work through complex breastfeeding challenges.
A safe, calming space where you feel seen and heard, whether we're navigating latch challenges, milk supply concerns, pumping routines, or you just need a listening ear. I support all feeding choices with kindness and respect, meeting every family where they are — available for both at-home and virtual visits.
I love being outdoors — hiking, gardening, kayaking — and find real peace in nature in a world that often feels chaotic. I also enjoy music, yoga, and a bit of crocheting in the winter!
"The best. So direct so professional, so meaningfully, helpful so supportive. Recommended by a friend and I could not be more grateful!"
"It was a hard journey, but I could not have done it without the support of North Shore Lactation. I am also grateful for their empathy and ability to realistically help meet you where you are. True gems!"
"Every mom needs a lactation consultant! Whether you’re breastfeeding, exclusively pumping or formula feeding, or even weaning, they know they’re stuff. They will guide you and help you navigate everything and reassure you because a lot of things are normal and they have a solution, and they know what the solution is! I couldn’t recommend them more!"
Lynn works with families across the entire Chicago area, including the Northwest Suburbs, the Western Suburbs, and Lake & McHenry County.
Compassionate, evidence-based care from Chicagoland's trusted team of IBCLCs.
