I have been a newborn nurse for 11 years and a lactation specialist for 3 years. I have 3 children that I breastfed myself, but didn’t learn about all that goes into nursing and the amazing science behind it, or the massive benefits of breastfeeding, until I decided to become a Lactation Consultant in 2020.I love helping moms reach their breastfeeding goals and giving them and their children an outcome that works for both of them.

Hi there! I'm Destiny, your new favorite birth professional in the Chattahoochee River Valley. The River has thrown nature, herbalism, and community further into the forefront of my work and passions. I have been on a deeper, and more meaningful, journey of holistic care and can't wait to show you what that can look like for you and your family! I am a full-spectrum doula-holding patients & their families in life AND death-and a multi-certified lactation pro. I trained with SisterWeb (a culturally-competent doula organization), StillBirthday (an abortion, death, and loss doula care organization) and The Hospital Friendly Doula alongside Sutter Health in order to show up for my clients on all the paths birth (& death) take us on. I show up as an advocate, friend, and confidant in the spaces I am invited in and take my role extremely serious because your trust and desires take priority! As a lactation consultant, counselor, and specialist I have extensive knowledge in: exclusive chest/breast feeding, pumping, combo feeding, and a myriad of other circumstance-specific feeding methods, including formula feeding. My philosophy is "Fed is best" and I aim to give you the feeding journey of your dreams; whatever that is.

Babies have always been my passion! Like Tisha said, I always knew my career would be working with babies. I applied to nursing school knowing I was going to work in OB and that's exactly what I did. After having my first child in 2014 I realized the need for more lactation consultants. I struggled a lot with him and had no one to turn to for answers, so I began doing my own research. I was determined to make this work. And that is how my lactation career started! I started my lactation training not even knowing if I would be able to get a job doing what I had become so passionate about. My family and I made some life changes and everything fell right into place. Tisha and I always casually talked about starting a business but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would actually happen. But here we are! I absolutely love my job and could talk about breastfeeding all day long. I strive to do everything I can to help each mom meet their personal breastfeeding goals. I am very passionate about tongue ties and food allergies in breastfeeding since I personally experienced that with my 2 nursing journeys. Breastfeeding does not come naturally for everyone and it definitely isn't as easy as some think. That's why I have made it my life mission to educate every mom and give them all the tools and support needed to be successful!

Hello! I am a doula in certification whose work is shaped by lived experience across the full spectrum of life. I have naturally delivered eight babies and breastfed each for 22 months, breast to cup. I care for a family farm, homeschool my last two children, and live a faith-based life rooted in holistic health. I have supported my mother and grandmother during their end-of-life transitions and walked beside my daughter through an unassisted miscarriage at 16 weeks, 4 days. These experiences inform my commitment to gentle, informed, and deeply present care for mothers and families through birth, bereavement, and beyond. In my free time I enjoy furthering my education with classes and online learning. I also enjoy traveling, music, farming, cooking and just being with family.
