More about Jillian
When Jillian started as a postpartum nurse in 2010, she learned from the families she worked with that breastfeeding wasn’t as easy as she’d always thought. Like many people, she’d assumed that breastfeeding would just automatically happen, and when she saw new families struggling, she wanted to help. She began studying lactation and practicing what she learned, starting with training as a CLC in 2011.
Jillian continued her studies and became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2015. She accepted a position as a hospital Lactation Consultant, serving families in the postpartum, nursery, NICU, and pediatric units. Seeing a need for community services, Jillian started MilkMatters in 2019. By the summer of 2020, MilkMatters had grown and Jillian left the hospital to focus on serving families in the community full time.
Jillian is a big believer in empowering a family with education and resources to achieve the goals they set. She strongly values a non-judgmental, guilt-free, open, and adaptable approach to feeding and lactation.
As someone who’s needed to work on flexibility and managing anxiety herself, Jillian enjoys working with parents who self-identify as “Type A.” She also loves working with queer families and has lots of practice using they/them pronouns. Additionally, Jillian specializes in induced lactation and lactation after loss.
