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
-
Schcdules
-
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
Latching & Positioning Techniques
Pumping & Bottle Feeding Support
Nipple Sizing & Health Assessment

Baby Weighing & Weighted Feeds
Infant Massage for Latch/Tension
Therapeutic Lactation Massage
Nervous System Regulation
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. Book a home visit to learn comfortable but less effort positioning for a deeper latch for better breast drainage to build your milk supply!
