Stephanie Bower, RN, IBCLC

I have extensive clinical experience in infant feeding and newborn care through my work in Labor & Delivery and private practice as a Lactation Consultant.

I am passionate about providing comprehensive, holistic lactation support and helping families navigate breastfeeding challenges by identifying and addressing the root cause of feeding difficulties.

My special interests include Tethered Oral Tissues (tongue, lip, and buccal ties), infant feeding function, and supporting babies before and after oral tie release. I have advanced training in oral assessments, function, and habilitation and am also a Myomunchee practitioner.

I value an interdisciplinary approach and incorporate manual therapy concepts in my work, including Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT), John Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR), and ongoing Craniosacral Therapy (CST) studies with Beames CST.

You will receive evidence-based care delivered with kindness, compassion, and respect, with the goal of empowering you to meet your feeding goals.
