About Susan

With over 22 years of experience helping families feed babies, I am ready to help you work towards your breastfeeding goals. I am the mother of three children and originally from Los Angeles, California, having moved to NY in 1987 to attend graduate school. I then relocated in West Hartford, CT, where I became La Leche League Leader and in 2002, I became an IBCLC -- an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.

I am thrilled to welcome Lauren Akers, IBCLC to the practice. Lauren, originally from Perth, Australia, lived in England and Singapore, before settling here in Connecticut. She has been a birth and postpartum doula for 14 years an has spent the last 2 years training with me. When you hire Lauren, you are receiving an experienced and compassionate lactation consultant.
