Lactation support for you and your baby

You are not alone

I’m Ellen Schwerin, MPH, IBCLC, an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant, small business owner, ceramicist, choral singer, and mom.

In my 14+ years of experience, I have found that parents have the most successful lactation experiences when we work together before the baby arrives, so I encourage you to contact me for a prenatal consultation (and then I’ll meet with you and your baby soon after birth). I also have a limited amount of space for families with babies younger than 4 weeks old. For families with older babies, I refer you to Tamara, The Lactation Consultant (who also covers my service area).

I provide caring and expert lactation & infant feeding health through home visits in the following SF East Bay cities: Berkeley, Oakland, Emeryville, Alameda, Orinda, Moraga, Lafayette. I love providing a safe environment and supporting diverse families, including those in the LGBTQIA+ community.

You can set up a free, prospective client, 20-minute phone call if you’d like more information by clicking the Book Online button or sending me a note here. I look forward to hearing from you!

I care about your goals and issues, and, whatever they are, you can count on me to LISTEN, and provide caring, non-judgmental, professional, and evidenced-based support. I am here to give you information and support so that you can make the best decisions for you and your family. My motto is: “It’s your body, it’s your baby, it’s your choice.”
