Hey, I'm so glad you're here
Looking for breastfeeding or lactation solutions? You've come to the right place. Breathe deep and let's work through this together.
Heather Pahl, MS, IBCLC
I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), which means that I have the "gold standard" training for lactation professionals. I eagerly started my journey in the lactation world in 2015, trained for a year and a half under an incredible decades-long IBCLC, and passed the board exam in 2018. I have since practiced with thousands of families in five states, including Arkansas where I plan to stay. I frequently do continuing education so that I am always learning and provide the best care possible. I take pride in caring for mothers and babies with a holistic approach- a little blend of crunchy and modern medicine. I provide some options, but you get to decide what you want to do. I am your supporter.
How is The Lactologist different from other lactation providers?
> I am a one woman show, so it is guaranteed that you always see the same IBCLC
> I have flexibility in choosing the best care for my patients since I don't have a corporation or larger organization restricting my practice
> You get personal, ongoing communication from me as long as you need
> No travel fees within 30 minutes; nominal fee for 35-60 min.
> This is a small, easy to sustain business so you are my priority- not building an empire
