Meet your lactation consultant
Hi! I’m Ellen Pavlacka, CLC, CBS
It is an absolute privilege that I get to support families at every stage of their breastfeeding and infant feeding journeys—from prenatal through to weaning, and everything in between.
Before recently returning to my roots in New York, I spent hundreds of hours working in both hospital and outpatient settings in Philadelphia, collaborating with families on a range of feeding challenges. Whether it’s breastfeeding/chestfeeding, pumping, relactating, or formula feeding, I’ve worked with families from all backgrounds, helping them find solutions that work for their unique needs.
I’m driven by a genuine love for listening to others’ real desires, problem-solving together, and empowering families by ensuring they feel seen and confident in their feeding choices. I’m also a bit of a nerd when it comes to the science of lactation—there’s something truly magical about the way our bodies and babies work together!
I would love to walk alongside you as we help you nourish your child in the way that’s best for you. If you’re looking for support, let’s connect and create a plan tailored to your needs.
