Hey, Honey! I'm Jada!
Yes, I am a (W)holistic CBS (Certified Breastfeeding Specialist) with TOTs specialty training, with over 9 years of breastfeeding experience including 1000+ hours of clinical experience including babees with oral dysfunction, torticollis, and more at one of Atlanta's Premier tongue tie centers. I support families on childbirth to breast/chest feeding and how interventions can impede their babee's first latch. I help new and expecting moms reduce breastfeeding nipple pain, avoid low milk supply issues and confidently feed their babees-without late night Google searches. ​
Why "Just Feed The Baby" Isn't Enough
Most postpartum care focuses on outcomes:​
-
Ounces
-
Schedules
-
Weight
-
Rules ​
But babees don't feed well when they don't feel safe or comfortable in their bodies. And mothers can't heal or connect when their own systems are in survival mode. We do a comprehensive lactation consult that includes:
Hand Expression For Milk Supply
Nipple Sizing & Health Assessment
Therapeutic Lactation Massage
Latching & Positioning Feeding Review

Baby Weighing & Weighted Feeds
Tethered Oral Tissues
Pumping & Bottle Feeding Support
Infant Massage for Latch/Tension
Nervous System Regulation
YOU DESERVE SUPPORT THAT FEELS INFORMED AND HELD
Experiencing Sore, Cracked Nipples or Painful Breastfeeding?
You don't have to struggle with a painful latch? The good news is—your babee is born knowing how to latch but sometimes babee's may have an uncoordinated suck from birth interventions. long labors or oral dysfunction. By following babee led breastfeeding, you can tap into your babee’s natural reflexes for a deeper, more effective latch without pain.​​ Pain is NOT normal! Through a comprehensive consult we'll get to the root of your babee's challenges with pain and latch starting with nervous system regulation and skilled feeding review to assess oral function related to tethered oral tissues aka tongue/lip/cheek ties,. Book a home visit to learn comfortable but less effort positioning for a deeper latch for better breast drainage to build your milk supply!

Infant Massage for Better Feeding & Tension
Yes, infant massage can help with breastfeeding pain. Whether your babee is breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, gentle facial and body massage can help improve their latch, reduce feeding struggles, and make milk flow easier! My TOT's Specialty training provides a nurturing and therapeutic experience using gentle touch, rhythmic strokes, and calming techniques to support your babee’s digestion, sleep, bonding, and body awareness, and latch. This service blends evidence-based massage techniques with intuitive bodywork to relieve common discomforts for a better breastfeeding experience and deregulated nervous system..
Why Infant Massage Helps For Breastfeeding:

A relaxed babee = better latch = easier feeds!
Therapeutic Breast Massage For Lactation

I use my Sweet Milk & Massage model of care to first relax you to increase oxytocin to release milk back up then lymphatic and therapeutic breast massage to treat breast and nipple pain for a better latch. ​Breastfeeding is natural, but sometimes challenges like engorgement, clogged ducts, or mastitis, sore and chy muscles and breasts can make it uncomfortable. The good news? Therapeutic breast massage can help! Here’s why making breast care a priority is a game-changer:

Pumping and Bottle-Feeding
​Bottle feeding can be challenging as well. Clicking noises? Saturated bibs from drooling at feedings? Takes an extremely long time to feed our Babee? Or maybe Babee is refusing the bottle altogether? Whether you're breastfeeding exclusively pumping, bottle-feeding, or combo feeding, you deserve updated evidence based lactation services on your journey! Yes, every babee and parent has unique needs, and finding the right balance can make all the difference with your pumping and bottle feeding too, honey!​
Benefits of Pumping Support:
– Comprehensive and skilled bottle-feeding review
- Learn how to maximize output, build a stash, and find the right flange or breast shield size for comfort and efficiency.
– Ensure your babee is feeding correctly, reducing gas and making the transition between breast and bottle easier.
– Struggling with clogged ducts, mastitis, or supply concerns?
Therapeutic breast massage, positioning tips, and customized support can help!​

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this hurt?
Lactation support should not be painful. If you’re experiencing pain, we slow down, adjust positioning, and support healing. Any hands-on techniques are gentle and always done with your consent.
Do I need to be uncovered or exposed?
Only what feels comfortable for you. We prioritize modesty, consent, and privacy at all times. You guide what is shown, when, and how.
What if my babee cries or won’t latch?
That’s okay — and very common, especially for first-time families. Crying is communication, not failure. We work with your baby’s cues and nervous system, never forcing feeds.
Do you help with tongue ties or lip ties?
Yes. I assess oral function and feeding coordination and offer gentle pre- and post-frenotomy support. When needed, we provide referrals and collaborate with trusted providers.
Can you help with pumping or bottle feeding?
Absolutely. I support pumping schedules, flange fitting, paced bottle feeding, combo feeding, and transitions between breast, bottle, work, or NICU care.
Do I need a diagnosis or referral?
No. You don’t need a diagnosis, referral, or crisis to receive lactation support. Reassurance, education, and confidence-building are valid reasons to book.
Will insurance cover this?
No, I do not accept insurance. I am self-pay and also accept HSA/FSA as well. I can provide a superbill upon request and help you understand your options. Many families choose to self-pay for early support to prevent bigger challenges later.
