A Little About Me

I'm Holly, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and owner of Athena Lactation, LLC. My husband and I have been married for 13 years, and we have three amazing children together.

Before accomplishing my IBCLC certification, I completed a Bachelor of Science in Maternal Child Health: Human Lactation, and I spent time in breastfeeding support roles like Certified Lactation Counselor, Advanced Lactation Consultant, and in several positions at our state's nonprofit human milk bank.

For fun, I read. A lot!

I like to write, and I have recently started trying my hand at baking and bread making. I spend most of my time working and shuttling kids from one activity to the other, but I am learning to make time for myself, too. That's one thing I have learned about parenthood; you have to set aside time for self-care.

My goal is to provide the support you need to feed your baby and enjoy the journey into parenthood, free of judgment. Breast, bottles, pumping, donor milk, formula, however feeding looks for you, I am here to guide and support you.

Let's feed your baby, your way!

Feeding babies is my profession, my passion, and my calling.
But when I have some free time, you can usually find me reading, sipping on an iced coffee, watching a documentary, strolling through an antique store, or failing to keep my houseplants alive.
