Breastfeeding Classes Taught

Breastfeeding Support Groups Hosted

In my experience of helping hundreds of families learn to breastfeed, it seems there are bumps in the road no matter how prepared you are. It helps to take a class, learn the signs that your baby is getting enough, and when to ask for more help. But that won’t guarantee a bump-free nursing experience. Encircling yourself and your family with a network of support is also important. Questions do come up, situations you aren’t sure how to handle happen. Knowing when you need help, and who you will reach out to are both important.

I served as a volunteer La Leche League Leader for 5 years. During that time, I decided to continue my education and become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I am skilled in supporting nursing moms and babies through the medical aspect of breastfeeding and lactation, but also hold the relationship part of breastfeeding in equal importance.

I first became interested in breastfeeding when I had my own children. Breastfeeding had been an accepted part of my childhood and I assumed I would nurse my babies someday too. What I didn’t expect were the challenges that came with it. Not everyone has a hard time breastfeeding, but for those that do, getting support from someone who cares, and is knowledgeable, can help get parents and baby back to normal, nurturing nursing.

There are many ways to feed and nurture a baby. There is no one right way. I enjoy working with new families as they learn to not only feed their baby, but also how to integrate this new person into their family. My experiences have prepared me to support families at all stages of breastfeeding, from newborn all the way to weaning – at whatever age that might be.

      Amelia Moradian, IBCLC

      Having breastfed each of my three children, and had a variety of challenges in each case, I have first-hand experience to draw from in how helpful lactation consultants were to my success, and the support they offered me. I hope to provide similar care to the families I support. I have a background in public health, have lived in several places around the world, traveled to many more and am committed to being a life-long learner. I live in Seattle with my husband, three teenage children and our four and a half year old Cavapoo named, Bentley. I enjoy traveling, hiking, kayaking, cooking and building community wherever I am.

      Rachel Freund, intern

      Rachel discovered her passion for the world of lactation after navigating her own bumpy breastfeeding journey with her third little one.

      A Family Medicine physician by training, Rachel is working toward becoming a lactation consultant.  She has a special interest in working with neurodiverse families and babies with sensory issues, and assisting with grief/trauma recovery.

      When she isn’t nerding-out about lactation, you’ll find her playing bass guitar, reading period novels, and trying to keep up with her three active kids!
