Katie Clark

10 years of experience

I have been working with breastfeeding moms and families since 2015 and have been an IBCLC since 2023. My passion lies with helping new moms find a way to make breastfeeding work by offering compassionate, holistic solutions to breastfeeding issues. My specialties are with supply issues (both low and over) and pumping/flange sizing. I have special training in tongue ties and oral restrictions, low milk supply, clogged ducts, bottle refusal, and pumping. I love working with moms in every stage of breastfeeding from pregnancy through weaning and helping you meet your goals.

Katie is an incredible IBCLC who combines deep knowledge with genuine compassion. She meets families where they are, offers practical and evidence-based guidance, and supports them every step of the way. Her calm, encouraging approach empowers parents to feel confident and supported in reaching their feeding goals. Highly recommend!

Sarah Oriolo

18 years of experience

Like the Juniper tree, resilient, adaptable and evergreen, your feeding journey deserves steady, natural support. At Juniper Lactation, a highly skilled, board-certified lactation specialist is here to help families find confidence and calm through personalized lactation care. Sarah has 17 years of experience as a speech-language pathologist and is certified by the American Speech-Hearing Association, licensed in the state of Colorado and an internationally board-certified lactation specialist with specific training in complex infant feeding and tethered oral tissues. Sarah also experienced a difficult feeding journey as a mother with her own son’s tethered oral tissues.

Our daughter was a NICU baby with a complicated history who came home on a feeding tube. I had always planned on breastfeeding her, but once we were home, it felt like the problems kept piling up (oral aversion, thrush, tongue tie, severe reflux, and more), and that goal began to seem out of reach. Despite my own training as an IBCLC, I was anxious and overwhelmed, and my main objective shifted to getting her off the feeding tube by whatever means necessary. We were incredibly fortunate to find Sarah in the thick of it all. She has extensive experience with medically complex infants and with both breast and bottle feeding. She was confident she could help us, and her support never wavered. Step by step, we peeled back the layers of why feeding our baby was so complicated, and we slowly began to make progress. One day, our daughter woke up and began taking full bottles, almost out of the blue. We were overjoyed and in disbelief. What followed felt truly miraculous. About 12 hours after her first full bottle in two months, she breastfed like she had been doing it all her life. From that moment on, she was exclusively breastfed, and we never looked back. When I returned to work a few months later, she had no trouble taking a bottle, and she continues to breastfeed at 16 months old. I truly believe that without Sarah’s expertise, our daughter would have required a long-term feeding tube and breastfeeding would never have been attainable. We will always be grateful for her support during one of the hardest times of our lives.

Kristen Schneck

7 years of experience

Kristen’s passion for all things pregnancy, birth and parenthood began in 2008 when she had her first baby. Since then, she has become a mother of two, a yoga teacher, health coach, full spectrum doula, and lactation consultant. Kristen has a diverse range of experience having attended over 100 births in many different hospitals since completing her doula training with Birth Matters in 2020. She is honored to be invited to support you on your journey no matter where you come from or what your family looks like. Kristen is proud of the network of resources, care providers and relationships she has built with fellow Doulas, OBs, Midwives and Nurses in the Denver/Boulder area. Part of the leadership team of the Denver Health Doula program and a Community Doula with Elephant Circle’s Expecting Chances, she has been invited to speak, teach and attend birth related events seeking to improve the landscape of birth in our country and is always seeking to learn and grow. Pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding and parenting can be a lot to navigate. Kristen aims to support her clients with compassionate, trauma-informed, evidence-based, non-judgmental care. She holds space to address whatever comes up so families can show up to birth with confidence. Preparing you mentally, physically, and emotionally, she provides information, resources, guidance and advocacy to her clients as they navigate their unique adventure, helping them to feel empowered in their choices. When not with her own kids or working with clients, Kristen loves being in nature, traveling to new places, frolicking with her dog, swimming, hiking, biking, snowboarding, and surfing.

Hiring Kristen as our doula was the best thing I did for my pregnancy and birth. She made herself available throughout the final few months of my pregnancy via countless texts and phone calls prepared to answer all the wild questions I had about any symptoms or feelings. When I finally went into labor, none of us knew I’d be in it for a whopping 60 hours before my son was in my arms. I could go on and on about all the things she did to help get my son in an optimal position (there were many) but at the end of the day, she was just there for me. There for me when I thought I’d be having an unmedicated birth center birth. There for me when we had to have a c-section instead. And there for me after while I processed it all. She is amazing and I’d hire her again and again and again.

Postpartum, her continued support helped us smoothly transition into parenthood. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any expecting parents; her dedication and care made my birth experience truly amazing.

Hi! My name is Gabriela. I’m an occupational therapist, feeding therapist, and lactation consultant. I graduated from the Universidad Central de Venezuela and acquired my master and doctorate Degree at the University of Southern California. I earned the advanced practice license for swallowing (SWC) through the California Board of Occupational Therapy and later became an International Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

Gabriela was truly wonderful. She has an incredibly calming demeanor, is so patient, and beyond supportive. She worked with me through 6 grueling weeks of trying to breastfeed, navigating buccal ties for my little one and postpartum depression for me. Her skills were excellent, but her calming energy and kindness were what made the experience top notch. I'm grateful to share that I was finally able to successfully breastfeed my infant after working with her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for BF support.

Heather Wright

38 years of experience

I have been a registered nurse specializing in perinatal care since 1990. In 2015, I became an IBCLC and began working full-time as an inpatient lactation consultant. In 2019, I expanded my skills by studying craniosacral therapy under Carol Gray. Over time, I integrated craniosacral therapy and lactation consulting at the Recovery Lounge while interning with Amanda Glenn, gradually preparing for retirement from my hospital position. In May 2024, I retired and shifted my focus to the Recovery Lounge and Spa, where I now combine lactation consulting with infant craniosacral therapy, as the two practices complement each other to foster a more joyful breastfeeding experience.

Love Lactation,LLC Meet your Lactation Consultant Heather Cordova IBCLC I have been a lactation consultant for more than 13 years and have worked with families for over 30 years. I strongly believe that everyone should have access to professional care, and I am passionate about providing that support to families. Feeding your baby is a deeply personal experience, and I am dedicated to helping you reach your feeding goals. My approach is personalized to fit each individual’s unique path and special journey. Since earning my Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, I spent 29 years with the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, offering both nutrition education and lactation support. In 2011, I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and I have been in private practice for over 14 years. I am married, with two children, both of whom I breastfed for a full year. My daughter, now an adult, has significant special needs. When I was breastfeeding her, I needed extra care and professional support to reach my goals. Without that guidance, I’m not sure I would have been able to continue providing her with human milk. This experience drives my passion to ensure others have access to the same level of care and support.

Jessi Kinsman

8 years of experience

Hi! My name is Jessi Kinsman, and I am a registered nurse and certified lactation counselor! I live in Colorado Springs but do home visits with my clients so you never need to leave the comfort of your own home! My motto is to do what keeps you sane, and that includes helping you reach YOUR goals, whether that’s with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, or a mix of all of the above! I am here to come alongside and support you on this beautiful and sometimes overwhelming journey. I have a background in nursing and decided to pursue lactation education and certification to add to my RN license to better prepare me to help you! I have a huge heart for women and families in this season of life, and my desire is to make it a time you can truly cherish. When I’m not helping mamas and their babies find their groove, I keep busy homeschooling and spending time outside with our 3 kids, and balancing all that time in nature with some family video games and movie nights. ;)

Jessi has been so helpful through all of my breastfeeding journeys. She’s so sweet and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!

Brooke Fawcett

11 years of experience

I have a masters degree in pediatric nursing and I’m an internationally board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC). My career started 10 years ago in inpatient pediatrics and the neonatal ICU. I then moved to a pediatric outpatient clinic due to a desire to focus on preventative medicine and patient education. When I had my own struggle breastfeeding my daughter it drove me to focus my career on lactation. I have personally experienced triple feeding, bottle refusal, oral function concerns, maintaining supply while working and breastfeeding in toddlerhood. I have a passion for helping moms understand how their babies developmental milestones influence their breastfeeding experience. I pride myself on providing education rooted in evidence based research. Becoming a mom changed my life so profoundly that now motherhood and breastfeeding are my favorite things to get to talk to other women about.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brooke and the incredible support she provided throughout my breastfeeding journey. From the very beginning, Brooke was a calm and reassuring presence during the early, often overwhelming, stages of breastfeeding. Her gentle approach and deep knowledge immediately put me at ease, and she helped me build both confidence and trust in the process. What truly stood out was Brooke’s exceptional communication—she explained everything clearly and thoroughly, always taking the time to answer my questions with patience and kindness. I never felt rushed, and she consistently made sure I felt supported and heard. As my journey evolved and I transitioned to exclusively pumping, Brooke remained an invaluable resource. Her expertise extended far beyond the basics—she guided me through the challenges of pumping with practical tips, emotional support, and a deep understanding of how to make the experience sustainable and positive. Thanks to Brooke, I felt empowered and informed every step of the way. She genuinely cares about the families she works with, and it shows in everything she does. I am beyond grateful for her guidance and could not have asked for a better lactation consultant. Highly, highly recommend!

Morgan Blair

2 years of experience

Hello, My name is Morgan and I am currently a student at MaternityWise institute. I am cpr certified. I believe in teaching my clients how to raise their voices in order to advocate their wishes in any situation! Everybody deserves a doula, please reach out to me if you need a sliding scale or other assistance resources.

I truly can’t say enough good things about my experience with Morgan. My pregnancy was very complicated, and there were so many moments of uncertainty and fear—but having her by my side made all the difference. She was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and calming through every step. No matter what came up, Morgan helped me feel informed, reassured, and never alone. During labor, things moved quickly and became intense, and she was such a steady, grounding presence. I honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through it without her. She advocated for me, supported my choices, and created a space where I felt safe and cared for the entire time. Beyond just her skill, Morgan is a genuinely kind and compassionate person, and that shines through in everything she does. I am so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone—especially if you’re facing a more complicated pregnancy or just want someone truly in your corner.

Katie White

8 years of experience

Hi, I’m Katie—an IBCLC dedicated to supporting families with compassionate, evidence-based care. I received my lactation training through Metropolitan State University of Denver and have spent the past eight years working as both a birth and postpartum doula, supporting more than 100 families through some of the most tender and transformative moments of their lives. I come to lactation work with a foundation in Nutrition, holding a bachelor’s degree from UNC. I have three kiddos of my own—each with their own unique breastfeeding journey. These experiences deepen my understanding that every family’s path is different, and every goal is valid. I truly love being welcomed into people’s homes and consider the postpartum period a sacred space. My approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and meeting families exactly where they are—whether they’re navigating challenges, exploring their feeding options, or simply seeking reassurance. When I’m not working with families, you can find me snowboarding, traveling, reading, cooking, and hanging out with my little crew, hopefully outside, having an adventure!

I used Katie for the birth of my first son and my second son. If I were to have a third child, I would use her again. She is knowledgeable, a calming presence and was supportive in the exact ways I needed her to be for both births. I am so happy with how my labor and delivery went each time and I feel like Katie played a huge role in me being able to feel that way. I would recommend katie highly to anyone looking for a doula.

I would frequently found myself supporting newborns/infants as a Nanny and chose to transition to a Newborn Care Specialist officially in 2021. As of 2023, I have supported over 30 families with their childcare and newborn development.

I have completed course offerings from Newborn Care Solutions in both Foundational and Advanced levels and am an Elite, CACHE certified NCS; along with being a trained doula and working on my certification for lactation counselor, I continue learning and growing my knowledge through safe sleep courses and many other trainings pertaining to newborns.

Julia Unger

Hello everyone, my name is Julia Unger. I am a certified birth doula and lactation counselor! After having my own children I became especially called toward helping other women in the perinatal space! My style is rooted in autonomy and advocacy. I believe your voice matters—you’re allowed to take up space, ask questions, and make choices. This is your birth, and you deserve to birth in the way that feels right for you.

I’ve known Julia as a fellow student in my program Lactation Consultant Launchpad (where I also act as a Student Advisor) and she already made a such an impact. She eagerly covers shifts that are available and is always one of the first to step up if it is needed. It really speaks to her character and who she is as a person! Dependable, thoughtful and such a gem to the birth and lactation space. To know Julia is to be so lucky! You will be in wonderful hands.

Courtney Moore Rodriguez

13 years of experience

My name is Courtney Moore Rodriguez. I am a certified lactation educator (CLE), certified postpartum doula (CPD), and certified infant and family sleep specialist (IFSS). I am here to support your family in person (within the Denver metro area) and/or virtually…from the time you find out you’re expecting, through your baby’s first birthday. In those first few weeks and months, it can be hard to ask for help. I am a strong believer in helping families to help themselves (with a good amount of time for rest and self care thrown in too). Rather than taking care of your baby for you, I make sure that you have the skills, knowledge, and rest to do it on your own. I assist families in a non-judgmental fashion and always strive to meet you where you are. I am up to date on the latest research regarding infant feeding, sleep, and newborn care, and can give you non-biased information so that you can make informed choices that work for your family.
