ABOUT HER

After working as a pediatric nurse for 8 years, I sat for my IBCLC exam in 1997. I have been an IBCLC now for 28 years! My kids are 25 and 28 year old adults now but I remember the long nights when they were little and that is what sparked me to start my private practice in 2019. After years of working as a lactation consultant in the hospital, I knew I was missing something- connection with families so I could truly offer individualized lactation support. Lactation consultations are typically 90 minutes for an initial appointment, 60-75 minutes for follow-up. I didn't have that time available when I was working in the hospital setting.

I have taken additional trainings in oral restrictions/oral habilitation (ties), low milk supply, bottle refusal, breastpump flange fitting, and more!

After seeing countless exhausted parents through the years, I became a certified pediatric sleep consultant to better support families. I currently offer virtual sleep consultant services without letting babies cry it out.

The Founder's Note

"Lynne has such a calming, maternal presence - I’m pretty sure after meeting her I said, “this is the first time I wish I was still breastfeeding” just so we could work together."

now for the good stuff...

Favorite way to unwind
Spring, summer and fall I love to unwind on our little boat- exploring Boston Harbor and the Islands. I like to jump in the water and swim off the boat. In the winter, puzzles are my thing!
Morning routine must-haves
Botox in a bottle face serum 😂 and definitely iced coffee with half and half, no sweetener (Hubby says I'm sweet enough). For a real treat, I'll go to the local coffee shop for a latte sweetened with honey and cinnamon with oat milk.
Current obsession
I love family game nights. I am learning to play Mahjong with my daughter and future daughter in law.
Go-to movie or show
It's a toss up between Virgin River and Sweet Magnolias
