At Lake Lactation, the mission is to offer the support to families that makes them feel guided through their lactation journey, while still feeling like it is theirs to own. By offering judgement free education and trauma informed care, it empowers you to make the best decisions for you and your baby. Breastfeeding/chestfeeding is natural to babies, and provides countless benefits, some that will last a lifetime. As natural as it is, it’s often a skill that needs to be developed or simply fine tuned. Reaching out for support when needed is the best gift to give yourself, so that you may not only make it through, but truly enjoy your lactation journey.
Tana is happy to try to accommodate flexible scheduling, including same day visits and non-traditional hours. Please reach out if you need an appointment time that is not available on the scheduler below, or if the scheduler is unavailable. Also note that some consults are available via telehealth.
Our Feeding Support Group Welcomes all parents and children.
We meet at the King James Office Park Building #4 at:
24500 Center Ridge Road, Suite 279
Westlake, Ohio 44145
Come share the space with other families, and enjoy welcoming support of an IBCLC, whether you’re feeding at the breast/chest, pumping, or still trying to figure out what works best for you and your baby.
