Bio

Breanna is the owner and lead IBCLC at The Mama Mantra.

"The Boobie Ninja"
After receiving her BSN from Kennesaw State University in Georgia and sitting for her R.N. boards, she began her career as a Registered Nurse on a Cardiovascular Pulmonary Unit at an Atlanta hospital for 1 year. From there, she followed her heart to Women's Services where she worked as a Mother/Baby R.N. for 2.5 years. That is where she fell in love with helping moms with breastfeeding their new babies. Her passion for helping with breastfeeding and educating led her to pursue becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). She began practicing as an IBCLC in August of 2014 at another Atlanta, GA hospital (most often the busiest baby-having hospital in the country) and never looked back.

Life soon took her to Austin, TX in January of 2016. Her passion for getting into the community to provide education and in-home visits led her to start The Mama Mantra in Spring of 2016, a dream that was a couple of years in the making. Breanna was nominated as one of the best IBCLCs/Lactation Practices in Austin, TX in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. She has won the Austin Birth Award for “Best IBCLC/Lactation Consultant Practice” in 2017, 2018 and 2020. Breanna and her husband welcomed their first child in March of 2019.

The Mama Mantra provides a wide variety of in-home consultations, HIPAA-compliant virtual/phone consultations, prenatal consultations and an online support group. We offer consultations in Austin, TX and West Metro Atlanta, GA. We are proud to offer services for adoptive/induced lactation and we are listed as an inclusive provider for LGBTQIA families.
