Deeper Dive into Private Practice
with Rachel O'Brien, MA, IBCLC

Lactation Business Coaching Deeper Dive
Course Description

Deeper Dive #1: October 2020

If you've googled anything related to lactation, you've probably seen Rachel O'Brien's blog, which is chock-full of deeply-researched articles on bottle feeding, getting insurance to reimburse your lactation consult, and what an IBCLC carries in their bag. She joined Annie and Leah for a one-hour Deeper Dive into Private Practice and kept everyone entertained with her wit and educate through her practical, applicable tips.

Deeper Dive #2: April 2021

Our first Deeper Dive with Rachel O'Brien, lactation consultant and blogger extraordinaire, was a fan favorite, so Annie and Leah with Lactation Business Coaching asked her back! This hour is packed with insights from her successful private practice.

Includes Both Deeper Dives!

Rachel is always on the cutting edge 

Rachel runs her private practice in Massachusetts. She became an IBCLC in 2015 after completing her Masters degree in lactation, during which she wrote her dissertation on low milk supply. Rachel was a full-time working, breastfeeding and pumping mom for all three of her children and now specializes in low supply, bottle refusal and bottle feeding problems, working parents, and LGBTQ+ families. 

While many IBCLCs were scrambling to take their consultations virtual at the onset of the pandemic, Rachel was probably sitting having a cup of coffee. Thanks to her wildly popular blog - a favorite of both families and lactation professionals - she had been servicing virtual visits with blog readers from across the world for a few years.

Rachel's signature style of humor laced with pragmatic compassion and guilt-free support resonates. Don't miss the opportunity to glean some awesome tips and strategies to running your private practice.

Still relevant!

We've revisited these Deeper Dives and Rachel's insights and wisdom have universal application. Whatever your personal situation or the state of the world, these Deeper Dives will speak to you!

We know that where there’s community, there’s power - and we wanted a place where lactation business owners could join in on authentic and candid conversations about what running a business in our industry really looked like.

If you’ve been looking for a place that doesn't feel like another “boss babe” business networking event, but instead a true connection with other lactation consultants cheering you on while offering their help and experience, our Deeper Dives are for you.
