HAND EXPRESSION & LACTATION SERVICES
Express yourself with sustainable lactation guidance
Hey, Honey! I'm Jada!
Yes, I am a (W)holistic CBS (Certified Breastfeeding Specialist) with TOTs specialty training, with over 1000+ hours of clinical experience including babees with oral dysfunction, torticollis, and more at a local tongue tie center. I educate families on childbirth to breast/chest feeding and how interventions can impede their babee's first latch. Many honeys don't know what they don't know because breastfeeding is perceived as a "natural" act. But from my clinical experience, birth interventions can negatively impact your breastfeeding initiation. I believe all babees are hard wired to breastfeed and when breastfeeding becomes painfully difficult or challenges arise early, I am here to get to the root of the problem not normalizing then dismissing your concerns. ​
