How you’ll feel with Milkies:
confident and empowered to nourish your child and yourself
Meet Danielle
My name is Danielle, and I am a Certified Lactation Counsellor, certified by The Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice (ALPP), and founder of Milkies.
I am also a proud mother to my son, who was born in 2022, and whom I continue to nurse. My journey into becoming a lactation counsellor began with the challenges I faced as a new mother trying to breastfeed. Despite my best efforts, I encountered a lot of inaccurate and often contradictory advice from various health professionals. These experiences left me stressed and worried that I might not be able to continue nursing my son.
Everything changed when I sought the help of a lactation counsellor. With her guidance, I was able to identify and address the issues I was facing, which allowed me to continue my breastfeeding journey with confidence. This transformative experience inspired me to help others who might be struggling with similar challenges.
Before becoming a certified lactation counsellor, I worked as an elementary teacher. This experience has been invaluable, as it has equipped me with the skills to educate and support other mothers effectively as a lactation counsellor.
I understand firsthand the beauty and fulfillment that comes with successful breastfeeding, and my mission is to provide the support, reassurance, and accurate information that other mothers need to confidently and comfortably breastfeed their children. Whether you are facing difficulties or simply seeking advice, I am here to help you navigate your breastfeeding journey with compassion and expertise.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, painting with watercolors, gardening, and practicing yoga. These activities help me stay grounded and energized, so I can provide the best support to the parent(s) I work with.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to supporting you on this incredible journey.
