Hi! My name is Kimberly and I’m a board certified lactation consultant, IBCLC and owner of Embracing Lactation LLC. As a private practice IBCLC I serve families with breastfeeding/infant feeding concerns in the Monadnock Region of New Hampshire. I see clients in person and virtually.

My dedication to lactation and infant feeding comes from breastfeeding our four boys, each having their own struggles. With our second he had a lip and tongue tie that were released at 2 years old due to eating and swallowing issues. The release resolved those issues almost over night. Our third son experienced severe reflux and reoccurring ear infections. These experiences drove me to research and self study to figure out how to best support them and ultimately leading me to becoming an IBCLC.

In my private practice I specialize in exclusively pumping and milk donation. My extensive knowledge of pumping comes from my experience as a gestational surrogate in 2019. I carried a baby girl for a local family and pumped for the surrogate baby and local families. I donated over 10,000 ounces of breastmilk in roughly 18 months. Some of that milk was donated to a milk bank that supplied milk to micro preemies. Their donation process was very extensive. The whole process was very complicated but very rewarding.

I support every avenue of breastfeeding and infant feeding. I believe all families should have access to lactation support and shouldn’t feel inadequate due to their feeding choices.
