Lactation Consultant in St. Augustine, FL | Virtual IBCLC
St. Augustine is one of Florida's most historic and fastest-growing communities — and finding expert, board-certified lactation support shouldn't mean a long drive across North Florida.

You get the same expert, personalized care as an in-person visit, from the comfort of your own home — no driving across town, no waiting room, no stress. Our founder, Jennifer Chivas, spends part of her time in this market, where her daughter Sophia Chivas — a licensed IBCLC — is also based.
