Meet the North Carolina Lactation Loop Team

Lactation Loop is a collective of over 20 board-certified IBCLCs — International Board Certified Lactation Consultants — united by one mission: evidence-based, compassionate breastfeeding support, wherever families need it. We offer in-home visits across seven states, plus virtual support to families nationwide, and we meet weekly as a team to stay current on the latest research.

Every IBCLC on our team has passed a rigorous board examination and brings deep clinical experience to each visit. Many completed their certification through Lactation Loop's own mentorship program — which means this team wasn't just hired, it was built, from the inside out, on a foundation of collaboration and trust.

Whether you need support at home, in one of our offices, or virtually — we have someone on our team who can help.

    Macey Gerolemon BS, IBCLC

    My passion for healthcare grew from personal injuries and numerous doctor visits, which only improved when I found a practitioner who treated me holistically. This inspired me to pursue holistic healthcare. I earned a BS in human biology and a nutrition minor at NC State, conducting nutrition research and helping start a chapter for the National Organization for Rare Disorders. My lactation interest began through maternal and infant nutrition courses at NC State. To deepen my skills, I worked with The Lactation Loop in Florida, mentored by IBCLCs. Now back in North Carolina, I support breastfeeding families and mother my own child, aiming to provide research-based, family-centered care in the greater Triangle area.

  • Nicole Waters IBCLC, PBH-C, MBH-C

    Hi I’m Nicole, an international board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) with 18 years of experience, helping families feed their babies with confidence. I also hold PBH-C and MBH-C, which means I care about your emotional well-being as much as your baby’s feeding. I’ve supported families in the hospital, in the NICU, in outpatient care, and virtually, so whether you’re meeting your baby for the first time or navigating a tough stretch weeks in, I’ve likely walked alongside someone in your shoes. I’m also a mama four, and I breast-fed each of my children, everyone with their own challenges. I adopted my first two children and induced lactation to nurse them, so I know firsthand that there’s no single right way to feed your baby or to build your family. My goal is to meet you where you are with kindness, honesty, and practical support. When I’m not with my patients, you’ll find me outdoors with my family, and our dogs, hiking, kayaking, and planning our next trip. I look forward to supporting you and your baby.
