Alison is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a Bachelor’s Degree in Maternal & Child Health with a specialization in Human Lactation and a Master’s in Business Administration. Alison earned her certification as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) from the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners in 2017. Alison has extensive training in oral ties (TOTS, Masterclass) and previously worked with a pediatric dentist group. Her MBA thesis focused on addressing breastfeeding rates and the lack of Medicaid-covered lactation support in Central Florida.
Alison came to this path in life through her personal struggles with breastfeeding/pumping for a premature child and then breastfeeding a tongue and lip tied child. She had been on both sides of the fence in breastfeeding both — struggling herself and then helping families with their struggles. Alison understands breastfeeding is not easy for everyone and is passionate about providing in-home individualized care and personalized breastfeeding and pumping plans for each family she serves.
When she is not providing breastfeeding care to families, Alison can be found rocking a “mom bun” in the drop off line at her children’s school and buying everything at Target! Alison has been happily married to her husband for 15 years and a mom, or “mommy” to her daughter, 12, and son, 7. Before deciding to move to Ocala, FL in 2023, Alison had a busy, thriving private practice that served the RI/MA area for over 5 years.
