My name is Natasha, pronouns she/her, and I am a mom, gardener, and life-long learner. My mission is simple: to provide accessible and non-biased support for all individuals navigating the journeys of lactation and infant feeding. Based in Toronto, I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a Certified Lactation Counselor (CBI), having completed the Mohawk College Breastfeeding Program. Additionally, I am a DONA trained postpartum doula. My training in postpartum support directly influences my approach to breastfeeding and infant feeding, ensuring that I am present, engaged, and never rushed, always here for you.

I understand that there are many situations where you might require breastfeeding and infant feeding support. From pregnancy through weaning, whether you’re inducing lactation or considering formula feeding, facing latching difficulties, or dealing with supply concerns, I have assisted hundreds of families and individuals through these new life experiences. Based in Toronto, I offer in-home consults as well as virtual support for clients across Canada.
I have no agenda in supporting each client other than to help them understand their own goals and work together to achieve them. The infant feeding journey, including breastfeeding, looks different for everyone, and there is no single right way to navigate it.

I have no agenda in supporting each client other than to help them understand their own goals and work together to achieve them. The infant feeding journey, including breastfeeding, looks different for everyone, and there is no single right way to navigate it. As a lactation consultant in Toronto, I am also proud to offer infant feeding support at rates that fit your budget. I believe this work is essential, and cost should never be a barrier; please contact me below to request information on sliding scale pricing for home visits.
Everyone is welcome in my home. I use inclusive language and adjust my terminology based on your comfort levels. Everyone deserves quality and respectful care, whether it's related to breastfeeding, infant feeding practices, or seeking support from a lactation consultant in Toronto.
You deserve care that is not rushed or hurried, especially when it comes to breastfeeding and infant feeding at home. Problem-solving and planning as a new parent take patience, as babies don't usually perform on command. That's why our lactation consultant services in Toronto include reasonable text or email support following your consult.
As a lactation consultant in Toronto, I provide comfort and confidence boosts for parents, and I find that babies are often more settled during breastfeeding after working with me. I've been so privileged to be invited back into the homes of past clients to support their second or third babies with infant feeding. There is no greater honor than that.
My work as a lactation consultant in Toronto is trauma-informed, inclusive, and up-to-date, providing warm and professional support for breastfeeding and infant feeding at home.
When cost is a barrier to accessing breastfeeding support, I offer sliding scale options for infant feeding assistance. Clients are encouraged to choose the payment level that feels best for them, and as a lactation consultant based in Toronto, I will never ask you to justify your choice. All cost levels receive the same high-quality care, whether at home or in person.
