THE TEAM
Philline Benson, RN, MSN, IBCLC
Owner
As a Registered Nurse with over 15 years of experience, I've dedicated my career to supporting mothers and babies. My passion for teaching and lactation led me to pursue my Master's degree in Nursing Education and IBCLC certification.
​
With experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I've worked alongside expert lactation consultants and mentored new professionals. I stay up-to-date with the latest breastfeeding medicine to provide the best possible support.
​
Personally, I've experienced both the challenges and joys of breastfeeding. After struggling with my first child, I successfully breastfed my second for 18 months. I'm committed to sharing my knowledge and experience to help you reach your feeding goals.
​
With over 10 years of specialized experience as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I've developed expertise in addressing common breastfeeding challenges, including:
-
Low milk supply : Low Supply Course Certificate
-
Painful latching
-
Tongue tie: Oral Habilitation Class Completion
-
Bottle refusal: Guiding Bottle feeding Breakthrough Course completion
-
Other breastfeeding concerns
