Find a Lactation Consultant Near Me in Albany, OR

Hi there! I’m Stephanie, a birth doula based in Salem, and I’m so excited to support you and your family through this transformative journey. Before stepping into birth work, I spent 11 years as a teacher, working with students from diverse backgrounds. That experience shaped my deep belief in meeting people where they are, adapting my approach to their individual needs, and honoring their personal goals. Birth is not one-size-fits-all, and you deserve support that respects your choices, values, and instincts. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, preparing for birth, or adjusting to life with a new little one, I’m here to provide compassionate care every step of the way. I believe that knowledge is power—especially when it comes to birth. My approach is rooted in evidence-based care, giving you the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions while leaving space for what feels right for you. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, birth center experience, or home birth—with or without medication—I trust you to make the best choices for your body, your pregnancy, and your baby. My role is to provide guidance, reassurance, and continuous support so you can navigate this journey feeling empowered and prepared. I also understand that birth doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it’s an experience that impacts your partner, family, and birth team. That’s why I provide comprehensive support to your entire circle, making sure everyone feels informed, involved, and empowered. Birth isn’t just about the baby—it’s about you, your well-being, and the experience you want to create. Inclusivity and respect are at the heart of my practice. I’m passionate about de-stigmatizing mental health and emotional well-being, and I firmly believe that every family deserves the support they need—whether that’s through professional help, community resources, or simply having someone to lean on. I am committed to being an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and advocating for anti-racist practices in all aspects of my work. Your family is unique, and I’m here to support you in a way that feels right for you. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll probably find me curled up with a romance or fantasy novel, getting lost in a new crafting project, or tending to my ever-growing collection of plants (and trying to give away new starts I’ve rooted on my windowsill). I also love experimenting with vegetarian and vegan recipes, going on long walks, and enjoying imaginative games with my husband and two kids. No matter how your birth unfolds, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and fully supported. Whether you're loving every moment of pregnancy or just trying to survive it, you don’t have to do it alone. I’d love to walk alongside you on this journey!

Hello, my name is Liz Weisenfluh, and I’m a board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) and certified birth and postpartum doula (THW Doula) living in Springfield, OR. I provide in-home support to families in Lane and surrounding counties with a care philosophy that blends evidence-based practice with respect for time-tested traditions of care from around the world. Let’s connect and see if I might be the right addition to your support team.

I have been an IBCLC for over 7 years, with experience in a hospital setting. I have done in home independent consulting with families for the past 3 years as well. I am also a post-partum RN (BSN) with over 25 years experience. My goal is to make breastfeeding goals and plans with you that create success for you and baby.

My name is Aly, and I'm a registered nurse and Board Certified Lactation ​Consultant. I feel strongly about helping new parents navigate the ​challenges of feeding their baby with confidence, education, and joy. I ​want to help you achieve your feeding goals in a way that works for ​YOU! My journey began as a birth photographer and continued as I became a ​labor and delivery nurse. Through my own struggles with breastfeeding, ​I found my passion in lactation consulting. My love for breastfeeding and ​birth work grew from there; I became a Certified Lactation Counselor ​(CLC) and then furthering my education and experience, became an ​Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). When I'm not supporting new parents with feeding their babies, I enjoy ​playing with my two kids, Nixon and Roman and spending time with my ​husband, Ryan, and our family. Whether it's traveling or camping, ​tending to my garden, or gaining knowledge about homesteading on ​my Grandparents' farm, I always find ways to make the most of my time ​with my family.

Feeding your baby is a vulnerable experience and I am honored to support you on this journey. I believe in personalized care. I am available in person or through virtual visits.
