For the past two decades, I’ve had the honor of walking beside families during one of life’s most tender and transformative seasons, the postpartum journey. My work is rooted in deep respect for both the science and the soul of parenthood. My story began in early childhood, shadowing my mother, a NICU nurse, as she cared for the most fragile newborns. Watching her hands bring calm and comfort shaped my lifelong devotion to babies and the families who love them. I began my career as a birth doula and midwifery student, but quickly realized my calling was in postpartum care, where science, nurturing, and healing intersect. As an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), and Certified Postpartum Doula, my approach bridges evidence-based clinical care with holistic healing. I integrate functional nutrition, somatic awareness, and nervous system support to help mothers find their rhythm again, physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Hi, I’m Aura! I’m the founder of Your Lactation Journey—but more importantly, I’m a mom of four who’s been exactly where you are now. I’m a Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with over 12 years of pediatric and lactation experience. My background includes working as a bedside RN in pediatric critical care (PICU & NICU) and as a pediatric nurse practitioner providing 1:1 lactation support in the clinic setting. Supporting breastfeeding families has always been at the heart of my work. As a mom of four—twins first, then two singletons 18 months apart—all born with tongue ties and short NICU stays, I understand firsthand the challenges, learning curves, and triumphs of breastfeeding. My own journey taught me that every feeding experience is unique, and sometimes it’s far from “natural” in the beginning. I believe every feeding journey is unique, and there’s no one “right” way—it’s about finding what works best for you and your baby. I’m here to support, teach, & embrace you in yours and your baby’s breastfeeding journey.

Hi everyone! My name is Grey Graham, and I am a Certified Postpartum and Birth Doula, as well as a Certified Breastfeeding Counselor. Currently, I service South Florida (primarily), but I am open to traveling to North Florida, as well as any neighboring states. In my honest opinion, I think children are a precious gem, they are Gods gift to us here on Earth. They're just so sweet and actually quite fun to be around, I believe that they are the future and we can learn more from them then we think. I also love to see people happy and enjoying the life we've been blessed with. I decided to become a doula become after constantly stumbling across people with fears/ bad stories about giving birth and having children. I saw that people were afraid of having an actual baby, anxious that they'd be abandoned in the delivery room, and nervous about how to take care of them after. I've heard moms break down thinking they're not doing enough and failing their infant. That's where I come in. My ideal practice is to give judgment free help families adapt to bringing their baby home, understand any concerns they have, and hopefully aid them into becoming able to enjoy this milestone of their life.
