Why I Became a Lactation Consultant
I became a lactation consultant to help bridge the gap between healthcare and mothers. So many families were falling through the cracks, and I wanted to be the person they could turn to for real help.
Sherita has spent 5 years working in L&D and NICU units and 6 years in private practice, including 6 months supporting Air Force families overseas in Japan. She blends evidence-based care with a warm, holistic approach, and always makes sure to explain the why behind every recommendation.
A little about what drives me, what I love about being a lactation consultant, and life outside of being an IBCLC.

Getting to meet, learn from, and laugh with families from so many different cultures around the world.
Evidence-based information and education that always comes with the "why" — care with a truly holistic approach.
Outside of lactation, I'm a dance and theatre teacher! I love the arts, and I love helping others fall in love with them too.
"Breastfeeding went from feeling impossible and painful to the complete opposite after just one visit from our consultant. Sherita is an angel that gave me so much confidence and guidance in such a short amount of time. I would recommend to anyone preparing or struggling to breastfeed!"
"Sherita also came for an in-person visit and she is just wonderful. So happy I found them! Do yourself a favor and reach out if pregnant and planning on breastfeeding, even though it may not be your first time."
"Great services, very supportive. And very attentive to my needs! Would highly recommend!"
Sherita works with families across the entire Chicago area, including the Naperville Area, the Southwest Suburbs, and the South Suburbs.
