Lactation Consultant Near Me in Michigan
Michigan is where it all started. Lactation Loop's founder, Jennifer Chivas, RN, BSN, IBCLC, lives right here in New Hudson and personally sees patients across all three Michigan locations — Farmington Hills, Ann Arbor, and Brighton (inside Whole Mama Michigan). At our Ann Arbor office, an IBCLC evaluation from our team is required by Blossom Pediatric Dentistry before every tongue-tie or lip-tie frenectomy procedure — a level of clinical trust that's earned, not claimed.
Whether you're in Farmington Hills, Ann Arbor, Brighton, or anywhere else in the state, Michigan families get the same board-certified care that built this practice from the ground up.
