Working at a hospital as a lactation consultant, Carrie realized that many families go home without proper breastfeeding support due to the short nature of their stay.

New parents are discharged from the hospital sleep-deprived, overwhelmed with information, and often lacking knowledge of where to seek out lactation assistance.

Providing a personalized outpatient lactation service is something Carrie feels is crucial to breastfeeding success. She is so grateful to have other knowledgeable providers on her team who understand how important ongoing lactation support is!

The focus of Olympia Lactation is to provide client-centered care based on each family as they grow and expand. Knowing every lactation journey is unique, we support you and take the time to provide personalized care. We have 3 IBCLCs to be sure that we are providing thorough, thoughtful, and reasonable plans for every family.  Our focus is on quality care and we hope you feel that when you schedule with us.
