Norma has been helping mothers and babies breastfeed since 2000, as a peer counselor and later as certified lactation counselor.

Liz is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant since 2015 and Registered Nurse since 2001. Liz has been helping mothers and babies breastfeed since 2001, as she also works on a postpartum unit in a hospital setting in the south suburbs. She obtained her Certified Lactation Counselor certification in 2011. Then to further her own knowledge and fulfill her passion for helping mother’s breastfeed went on to obtain her IBCLC in 2015. Liz has been working on a postpartum unit for the last 16 years and during that time has acquired her Maternal Newborn Nursery certification. She was recognized by the March of Dimes in 2014 and received the Perinatal Nurse Excellence Award. Liz’s love of teaching and wanting to see mother’s succeed in breastfeeding pushed her to start a lecture once a month so that resident doctors were more educated in caring for breastfeeding mothers. This allowed for more consistent information between lactation and doctors at the bedside. She also helped to further educate fellow nursing staff by bringing a program to the hospital called Bridges To Breastfeeding to help nurses better understand how to help mothers succeed in breastfeeding not only in the hospital but in the community as well.
As a new mom back in 2006 still pretty fresh out of nursing school with limited knowledge of breastfeeding, Liz found herself in tears struggling to keep her breastfeeding career going. She was very determined that she was going to make breastfeeding work and toughed it out through the pain. So her goal every day is to make sure to the best of her ability that another mom does not have to go through what she did and has a hopefully pain free beautiful breastfeeding experience. "
