As an expecting or new parent, you’ve likely heard of the many benefits of breastmilk for your baby. But with more and more access to information at the tip of our fingertips it can be difficult to turn down the noise of all the “shoulds” and to truly trust your instincts to know what is best for both you and your baby.
Maybe you have heard from friends and family about their challenges with breastfeeding and are wanting to enlist the right support from the start to help feel empowered and informed. Or maybe you figured that feeding your baby would be something that you intuitively just “got” and it is feeling nothing like that.
If you are feeling defeated, exhausted and overwhelmed in trying to feed your baby (or if you are wondering if breastfeeding is ever going to work for you), I would be honored to support you. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I provide you with non judgmental support for your breastfeeding, pumping and feeding journey. I have had the privilege of supporting hundreds of moms and babies in finding a path to feeding that is pain, guilt and shame free.
We believe lactation support is essential, we are in network with most insurance plans.

“Jaren is such an amazing lactation consultant! We had a really bad experience the first time around with our daughter seeing multiple lactations consultants and receiving all different advise from each one. We knew we wanted someone who was knowledgeable, fully committed, proactive to increase my supply and ready to answer every question we had this second time around. Jaren did all those things and more. When we had a concern arise she met us with love and understanding, knowledge and resources on the matter and the full support we needed. She was always accessible including on weekends to help me out! Based on my prior breastfeeding history, she knew exactly what I needed to do this time around to get the results I was looking for. One thing that I absolutely love about her is how patient and caring she was with all the endless questions I had including multiple postpartum meltdowns. We will use her for our future kids without a doubt! Anyone who chooses her will be so blessed! Thank you for making our second postpartum journey a beautiful one!”

“Jaren is awesome! She helped me with getting a correct latch and working to see if my baby could work through her ties. After getting them reversed, Jaren helped us retrain baby to suck correctly and make things easier on our breastfeeding journey. She was very informed and had lots of tips and ideas to help things along.”

“Jaren is amazing!! So supportive and knowledgeable and honestly just so so kind! I needed someone to help with my babies latch and although breastfeeding hasn’t been easy for us, her support helped me keep trying and putting in the effort! We are now 3.5 months into it and have a good routine of nursing and pumping and bottle feeding! Jaren is THE best!”

Previous client, ES
Jaren is simply amazing! I don’t know where we would be if it weren’t for her help. We had constant issues and she was always there to support me. Jaren is very empathetic, a great listener and so reassuring. She was always so quick to make an appointment to see me when I needed her the most. She also helped me with finding resources to help with my PPD/ PPA! She is just such a beautiful soul, I definitely recommend Jaren!

Starting and persevering in my recovery journey was the hardest but most rewarding thing I’ve ever had to do. My first appointment I sat in my car in the parking lot tearful and wondering how I had gotten to where I was at. Spending over 25 years with an eating disorder I had normalized so much of it. But I needed help, and it was hard for me to ask. I also wasn’t sure I was ready to give up my ED. It was scary and I didn’t know what else there was. I was an adult woman who did not know how to feed herself. Thank you for your patience, Jaren. Thank you for gently pushing me when I needed it and for waiting when I wasn’t ready. Thank you for being a part of my support system. I didn’t know I could feel so much freedom from giving up my food rules. I have gained more joy, time to truly enjoy my children, and time to pursue my interests. I was a shell of a person whose main focus was weight and food. It was exhausting. I can’t remember a day before now where food and weight did not preoccupy my day. It is the best gift to have room in my day for more important things. Food is just food. I eat and then move on with my day. What peace this brings me! I cannot thank you enough for your help in becoming the woman I am now who can truly live her life to the fullest. Forever grateful.

There are not enough positive things I can share about my experience with Jaren! After working with her for over a year now, I find myself wanting to book time just so we can catch up and chat. She has given me so much of my life back after struggling with disordered eating and body image for the last 10+ years. She is a rockstar and I'm very grateful for her help and support!
Previous lactation client
As a first-time mom, I am so grateful that we were referred to Jaren by our postpartum doula. Jaren is so kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. I dealt with a lot of complications after giving birth that made breastfeeding a challenge and I felt supported by Jaren through our whole journey. Breastfeeding can be a tricky emotional landscape to navigate and I felt Jaren was thinking of what was best not only for my baby, but also for me as a new mother. She went above and beyond to collaborate with our OT and even do a joint session with her that was so valuable to us. We cannot recommend Jaren highly enough!
