It all began with my first baby boy, Corey. I was amazed by the bond breastfeeding created between us—how my body nourished him for nine months and continued to provide everything he needed after birth. That experience sparked a lifelong love for supporting other mothers on their feeding journeys. I have over 20 years of experience as a registered nurse, with 19 of those years dedicated to caring for moms and babies. I have spent more than 15 years as an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and one of my key specialties is supporting families with Tethered Oral Restrictions (tongue and lip ties). Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of helping more than 1,000 families reach their breastfeeding goals. I’m a proud Slidell native and a graduate of Slidell High School’s Class of 1996. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Southeastern Louisiana University. Today, I am a wife, a mother, and someone deeply committed to serving my community in the best way I know how—by helping families thrive through compassionate, evidence-based breastfeeding support. https://www.southernlactationservices.com/ourservices daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dbf124f8d9650eee1604e1/1625237658459-BO9XLNE27RDP5TRZ4FEQ/Milk+Supply https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dbf124f8d9650eee1604e1/1625237758062-P7TEXYRIZW3LKT6PH3AW/lucas-mendes-L0cDMFldZgg-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dbf124f8d9650eee1604e1/1633722281058-P7686F5MAS8BDWAYNFKA/TLN_IBCLC_StarterKit_3c.jpg Our Services - Make it stand out Click the picture to verify your insurance coverage https://www.southernlactationservices.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dbf124f8d9650eee1604e1/1625238341474-8H1SIQ0OTPUCWW2RB98L/Southern+Lactation+Services-01.png Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.southernlactationservices.com/thank-you daily 0.75 2021-07-15 https://www.southernlactationservices.com/whatmomsaresaying daily 0.75 2022-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dbf124f8d9650eee1604e1/3fdfada5-5b50-4a3c-8bf3-33800b4ef8a2/IMG_3989%5B765%5D.JPG What Moms are saying... - “Michelle is truly Amazing at what she does and can help any mom with breastfeeding issues. Michelle came to my home to help me get my 3 week old back latching. I was having trouble getting him to latch due to him getting frustrated and fussy and we all know a fussy baby won't latch. Well Michelle comes in and my baby instantly latches with no problem(making me look bad lol) but Michelle understood and made me realize that it more than likely was never the baby but me. When my baby would get frustrated so would I and I would get flustered and just offer him a bottle to calm him but she made me realize that all I had to do was stay calm and be patient in order to calm him and then try to relatch. Since then I haven't had any problems. Michelle also devised a personalized care plan for baby and I that we have been following and I can truly say I noticed a difference in myself and baby. I would recommend Michelle a million times over! She helped me to get my baby back to breast and getting that bonding time back and I'm forever grateful for her and the service she offers. From start to finish she was so professional and answered all questions and even stayed in touch to make sure baby and I were doing well!” — Brandy M.

From her class, to one on one and helping me again after I brought baby home. I was able to breastfeed for almost 2 years! Now with my second baby breastfeeding is a breeze! She’s so kind, gentle and helpful. I would easily recommend her to anyone!” — Leila P., Southern Lactation Services client https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60dbf124f8d9650eee1604e1/1625199249254-FR20J6GT3CX100IX7F1M/IMG_6222.jpeg What Moms are saying... - “Michelle diagnosed my baby’s tongue tie and lip tie when we went to see her for a breastfeeding consultation 2 weeks after my baby was born.
