The Milk Maven
Jillian Simon
Registered Midwife &
IBCLC Lactation Consultant
My role as a Registered Midwife and IBCLC Lactation Consultant is to help parents develop a deeply connected, nurturing bond with their baby. I offer non-judgemental support to help families meet their individual goals for infant feeding.
