Chanelle spends her time volunteering for local community breastfeeding organizations, counseling families about breast and chestfeeding, and learning new cookie recipes.

Learners say 

Chanelle did a wonderful job pulling together the facts and creating a well-documented and well-presented webinar. Lots of food for thought about implicit bias. 

-Stephanie Sosnowski, BS, IBCLC, RLC; ICCE

Refreshingly authentic and engaging approach to a very important topic in lactation care!! 

-Kelly MacMillan, BSN, RN, IBCLC

Chanelle's class was not only informative but engaging and fun! I really enjoyed how she touched on "taboo" or less talked about topics like birth control & breastfeeding.
