Meet Your Consultant

Hi, I'm Raushanah

I'm a Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) dedicated to helping moms and babies thrive through their breastfeeding journey — with warmth, expertise, and zero judgment.

My passion for lactation support grew from my own personal experiences as a mother. I understand the challenges, fears, and triumphs that come with breastfeeding, which is why I approach every family with deep empathy and evidence-based care.

Whether you're a first-time mom unsure where to start, or navigating a complex feeding situation, I'm here to guide and empower you every step of the way.

What Moms Are Saying

Real stories from real families whose breastfeeding journeys were transformed with the right support.

★★★★★

“I cannot recommend Raushanah enough. From the very first appointment, she was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and reassuring during what can be such an emotional and overwhelming time. She took the time to truly listen, answered every question without rushing, and made us feel completely supported and confident. Her guidance was practical, compassionate, and tailored to our specific situation — I saw improvement almost immediately. Beyond just the technical help, she brought so much encouragement and calm when we needed it most.”

“Raushanah is absolutely amazing! She is soooo informative and taught me so much about how to use my pump, proper sizing, and fit for the flanges, inserts, and pumping bra. She also taught me how to properly use the settings and controls for my pump and it was no longer painful AT ALL. With her help, we were able to determine that the reason I’ve been in so much pain was due to improper fit of my pump inserts and flanges all the while it had little to do with my baby’s latch. She also taught me a few different breastfeeding positions and made sure I was doing it properly. 10 out of 10 I will definitely be recommending Raushanah to EVERYONE. She is totally the best, I can’t wait for her to come back!”

“Raushanah is the best in the business. She visited me a total of 3 different times to help with my breastfeeding journey. When all seemed hopeless and I was getting close to giving up breastfeeding, she helped me week by week until we fixed my mastitis, pain, latch, and everything in between. She is also a DELIGHT and a very friendly face to see while you’re in the depths of newborn life. You will miss her when she’s not there and you will be excited when she arrives! If you need help with ANYTHING during your breastfeeding journey I would highly recommend you reach out to Raushanah, she’s a beast! Thank you 🤍”

“Raushanah was such a godsend to work with. From the time we met her during our consultation before my son was born to the visits at our home after his birth, she was warm, informative and reassuring. I feel like my breastfeeding journey was so much more smooth because we had her. She was responsive throughout and helped me gain confidence as a first time mom feeding my baby. I'm so grateful and I couldn't recommend her more!”

Common Questions

Got Questions?

Everything you need to know about working with a lactation consultant. Can't find your answer? Reach out directly — I'm happy to help!

Ask a Question →
What is an IBCLC and why does it matter? +
An IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) is the highest credential in lactation care, requiring hundreds of clinical hours, extensive health sciences education, and a rigorous board exam. This ensures you're receiving the most evidence-based, expert lactation support available.
How do I know if my insurance covers lactation support? +
Under the Affordable Care Act, most insurance plans are required to cover lactation consulting services at no cost to you. I'll help you verify your benefits before your appointment so there are no surprises. Simply contact me with your insurance information.
When should I schedule my first consultation? +
Ideally, schedule a prenatal consultation in your third trimester to prepare for breastfeeding. After birth, if you're experiencing challenges — pain, poor latch, low supply concerns — schedule as soon as possible. Early intervention leads to the best outcomes.
What happens during an in-home visit? +
During an in-home visit, I'll observe a full feeding session, assess your baby's latch and positioning, check your breast health, evaluate milk transfer, and answer all your questions. You'll leave with a clear, personalized care plan and my ongoing support.
Do you support moms who want to pump or exclusively pump? +
Absolutely! Whether you're going back to work, building a freezer stash, or exclusively pumping, I can help you optimize your output, choose the right equipment, and maintain your milk supply long-term.
What areas of Texas do you serve? +
I offer in-home visits throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding areas. Virtual consultations are available to families anywhere in Texas and beyond. Contact me to confirm availability in your specific area.
