Your Lactation Counselor
Arianne Barnard- Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC)
Hi there! I’m Arianne Barnard—follower of Jesus, wife to Jason, and mom of four. I’m an ALPP-certified lactation counselor with a heart for helping you thrive in the early days of feeding and bonding with your little one.
My passion began early—my mom was a lactation counselor, and I saw firsthand how powerful gentle, knowledgeable support can be. After nursing my own four daughters, I felt called to walk alongside other women on their feeding journeys.
Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, or supplementing, I’ll meet you with encouragement and care. It would be an honor to support your family in this season.
The Elgin Doula Experience
As your lactation counselor, I’ll meet you with encouragement, practical tools, and personalized care—without pressure or judgment. Whether you’re navigating latching challenges, learning to pump, supplementing with formula, or just figuring out what works best for your baby, I’m here to help you feel confident and supported.
Through The Elgin Doula, I’m honored to offer in-home lactation visits & Telehealth support that is gentle, unhurried, and tailored to your needs. I believe every family’s feeding journey is sacred—and you deserve care that reflects that.
