Rebekah has been and IBCLC since 2006 and a nurse for over 25 years with a passion for women's health and breastfeeding. She worked in post partum long before becoming a mother herself. As a new nurse she learned everything she could from the LC on staff and was soon the one providing services during night shifts when newborns like to eat the most! Like many when she became a mother herself, she thought breastfeeding would be easy, but soon realized she would be challenged with many of the same struggles as those she was supporting. That was the beginning of her career as an IBCLC. She became fully committed to using her skills and experience to help as many women as she could reach their breastfeeding goals!

Babies have always had a special place in Jackie's heart. Jackie has enjoyed 17 years as a NICU nurse before her new role as an IBCLC began in 2015. Her own breastfeeding journey motivated Jackie to help other breastfeeding moms and lead every interaction with a compassionate, supportive, family centered approach. Jackie's hospital experience as an IBCLC includes supporting babies with a congenital condition, preterm infants, elevated level of jaundice, and weight gain challenges. Her clinic experience includes babies being seen for their routine pediatrician visits as well as those seen in a variety of specialty clinics. Jackie has enjoyed speaking with parents prenatally who are experiencing a routine pregnancy and also those whose baby has been diagnosed with a fetal condition. Jackie's goals are to help moms feel supported, listened to, and confident to reach their lactation goals. It is her honor to play a small role in a mom's breastfeeding journey and support each family where they are at.
