Lana’s Story:

My journey to motherhood, and all the twists and turns of my postpartum, inspired me to shift gears and begin a career in birth work. I realized how uninformed and under prepared we often are as new or expecting parents, and took the opportunity to be the change I wanted to see. In 2019, I trained to become a postpartum doula and have been providing in-person and virtual support to families in San Diego and throughout the US.

In 2021, I was awarded the San Diego Breastfeeding Center Foundation’s Feeding Our Future scholarship. With the Foundation’s generous support, I was able to complete the UCSD Lactation Program. I am so excited to now be a part of the incredible team of lactation consultants here at San Diego Breastfeeding Center! I see breastfeeding as a powerful tool to promote health equity and I’m proud to support families in meeting their breastfeeding goals.
