Melanie Matthews, RN, IBCLC

Hello! I am a registered nurse who has been helping moms and babies since 2010. I have been a bedside nurse in pediatrics, NICU, mother baby and labor and delivery as well as outpatient maternal child health. I have been an IBCLC since 2017. ​I am also a Hypnobabies Hypnobirthing instructor, Gillespie Approach CranioSacral Fascial Therapist and mother of 3. I believe in a gentle approach to breastfeeding and support women to feed their babies in whatever way they choose. Every mother and baby is unique!
