You are not just a milk making machine.
Holistic lactation support starts with addressing the WHOLE person - and then finding solutions that makes sense for YOU and YOUR family during your baby feeding journey.
Fern Lactation was founded by Emily Ager, a midwife with years of experience using a holistic approach when it comes to providing support for families during this profound time of transition.
