MISSION STATEMENT:

Thrive Mama’s mission is to empower women with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions regarding their pregnancy and birth, and to build the confidence they need to thrive in motherhood.

We offer both IN PERSON & VIRTUAL classes and lactation consultations.

Dear Mama,

I see you. I know that right now, you may be feeling overwhelmed, unsure, and confused. Pregnancy can bring so much joy, but it can also feel like there are a thousand voices telling you what to do, making it hard to know where to turn or how to make sense of it all. You might be wondering, “Where do I get the right information? How do I make the best decisions for me and my baby?”

You are not alone in this.

At Thrive Mama, I believe that every mother deserves to feel informed, empowered, and confident in her pregnancy and birth journey. This is a season of life where your voice and choices matter the most, and my mission is to help you feel heard, supported, and equipped with the knowledge you need. Whether you’re seeking guidance on childbirth, breastfeeding, newborn care, or postpartum recovery, I’m here to provide you with the tools to make the decisions that feel right for you and your baby.

Pregnancy and birth aren’t just medical events—they are deeply personal experiences. Your voice, intuition, and preferences matter. You deserve to approach this chapter with confidence, knowing that you are supported every step of the way.

I would love to walk alongside you on this journey, answering your questions, easing your worries, and helping you gain clarity so you can step into motherhood feeling empowered and informed.

You are capable, and together, we can make this experience one of strength and confidence.

With Love,

Lauren

I can’t say enough great things about Lauren! She was a game-changer in my breastfeeding journey with my second child. Her wealth of knowledge, not just as a lactation consultant but also as a pediatric nurse, made such a difference. She offered invaluable advice tailored to my needs. She helped me with practical tips and the confidence to keep going, even when I felt overwhelmed. I highly recommend her to any mom looking for guidance and support!

Lauren was a godsend for me when it came to my breastfeeding journey. She was very attentive to every question and concern I had and gave amazing tips and tricks for me to try. Now my kiddo is able to breastfeed comfortably with less gassiness and fussiness after! She truly was a game changer for me and my little one!

Thrive Mama FAQ'S

What should I expect during an in-home lactation consultation?

During an in-home consultation, our lactation consultant will assess your baby’s latch, provide hands-on guidance, and offer personalized tips to support your breastfeeding journey. We’ll also address any concerns or challenges you're facing and create a plan to help you and your baby thrive.

How soon after giving birth should I schedule a lactation consultation?

Ideally it's best to schedule an appointment with an LC in the first few days after birth, even if things seem to be going well. Having an extra set of skilled eyes can ensure you and your baby get a good breastfeeding start.

Do you offer support for mothers with multiples or premature babies?

Yes, we provide specialized care for mothers with multiples or preemies. We understand that these situations come with unique challenges, and our consultants are experienced in offering tailored breastfeeding and care strategies to meet your babies' specific needs.

What if I have trouble breastfeeding after my consultation?

We’re here to support you! If you continue to have difficulties, follow-up consultations can help fine-tune your breastfeeding approach and address any new challenges that arise. Ongoing support is available to ensure both you and your baby are successful in your breastfeeding journey.

What topics are covered in a lactation class?

Our lactation classes cover a range of essential topics, including latch and positioning techniques, recognizing your baby’s feeding cues, building and maintaining milk supply, and troubleshooting common breastfeeding challenges. We also offer guidance tailored to special circumstances, like caring for multiples or preemies.

What is a weighted feed, and how does it help with breastfeeding?

A weighted feed involves weighing your baby before and after breastfeeding to determine how much milk they’ve consumed. This method helps monitor your baby’s intake, especially if you're concerned about milk supply or feeding efficiency. It's a great way to ensure your baby is getting enough nourishment.
