Certified Lactation Counselor: Breastfeeding Support
“What is a Lactation Counselor?” A Lactation Counselor certification identifies a professional in lactation counseling who has demonstrated the necessary skills, knowledge, and attitudes to provide clinical breastfeeding counseling and management support to families who are thinking about breastfeeding or who have questions or problems during the course of breastfeeding/lactation.
Lactation Support:
While breastfeeding is a biological feeding method, it doesn’t always come easily at first. Both you and your baby need time to learn and practice this new skill. Ideally, bottle feeding should mimic breastfeeding to allow your baby to pace their feeds and bond with you during meals.
Despite the abundance of opinions on how, when, and where to feed your baby, even well-meaning supporters may lack the skills to assist you when challenges arise.
That’s where we come in. We are dedicated to helping you establish a successful breastfeeding relationship, as support during those first few weeks is crucial.
Tatiana, our Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), specializes in “Natural Breastfeeding” techniques, addressing the most common breastfeeding issues new mothers face. At Sacred House of Eden, we provide lactation support in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Struggling with Breastfeeding?
Are you having trouble getting your baby to latch comfortably—or at all? Are you unsure if your baby is getting enough milk or worried about your milk supply? Do you have questions about how to offer both the breast and a bottle or how much your baby actually needs?

Our team at Sacred House of Eden is dedicated to providing the support and guidance you need to feel confident in your breastfeeding journey.

Lactation Session Details:
In-home lactation support provides personalized, real-time guidance within the comfort of your home — allowing care to be tailored to your environment and feeding goals.
Early lactation support is strongly encouraged, as timely guidance often prevents prolonged feeding challenges.

Follow-up visit: $95 (for families requiring further assistance)
Same-day or next-day support is often available based on scheduling.
To schedule your first in-home session or follow-up visit, please click the button below. After booking, Tatiana, our Certified Lactation Counselor, will reach out to you via phone or email to arrange a convenient time for your session.
We understand that breastfeeding can be challenging in the beginning, so we strive to offer same-day or next-day support whenever possible. Our goal is to meet with you within 72 hours of your request for assistance.
*Lactation visits include travel within Davidson County. Visits outside of this area may be available for an additional travel fee based on distance.
Peer Counseling:
We offer peer counseling in lactation management, providing support and guidance as well as referrals to resources for interventions beyond our scope of practice.
In addition, we will soon offer peer counseling group sessions for both new and seasoned breastfeeding moms. The early journey of breastfeeding can be challenging, and these sessions will create a supportive environment for shared learning and encouragement.
Through these weekly sessions, mothers will receive encouragement and empowerment, especially during moments when they feel like giving up on their breastfeeding journey.
