Jacqueline is an experienced and active lactation support provider. She founded and works in private practice at Holistic Lactation. She also manufactures herbal supplements for lactation, hosts a podcast, and runs an online breastfeeding support community.
Her presentation “Diving into the Nuances of Clinical Sucking Skills: Bridging Infant Oral Function and Breast Physiology” is packed with practice-changing insights and information you won’t want to miss! She’ll explore the physiological essentials that play a key part in breastfeeding success, and she’ll also guide us through the interaction between infant mouth mechanics and maternal breast physiology.

You’ll leave with a new level of understanding when it comes to crafting individualized care plans and functioning as a key player in the healthcare team that empowers parents through practical strategies.
