Michelle Anthonio, IBCLC

In-Home Lactation Consultations

Hi I’m Michelle Anthonio, I am a board-certified lactation consultant and doula. My professional journey began in a holistic pediatric practice, where I gained valuable insights into integrative medicine and whole-person care.

My personal experience with motherhood truly shaped my career path. Facing several breastfeeding challenges with my first child inspired me to dedicate myself to supporting other families in achieving their infant feeding goals. I am committed to providing compassionate and non-judgmental care.

Additionally, my own positive home birth experiences led me to the doula role. These empowering moments have fueled my goal to support families in having equally positive and empowering birth experiences. I hope to support you too!

My background includes experience in pediatrics, hospital setting as well as NICU, and private practice, offering both in-home, office and telehealth consultations.

Jessica Sacher MN, RN, IBCLC

In-Home Lactation Consultations As a Lactation Consultant, and Registered Nurse, I’ve spent over 30 years helping new mothers breast feed their babies. For most of that time, I’ve worked at the Pump Station in Santa Monica, and in the neonatal intensive care unit at SM/UCLA Medical Center

I love being a comprehensive resource to mothers, while helping them achieve their breastfeeding goals. I’ve spent a significant portion of my career working in the NICU, where I have and still care for new mothers of premature, and medically fragile babies. I thrive helping moms establish their milk supplies and working with them to nurse their babies. I believe that every mother and every baby are unique, therefore individualized care plans are a key to success. All babies are born to breast feed, some just need a little loving, helping hand, and clinical expertise to get there.

Devorie Baitelman IBCLC

I am a New York native, living in Los Angeles for the last 15 years. I am a proud mom of six boys (ages 5 to 21). As my boys grew older, I was on the lookout for a new career. After exploring various career options and helping some new mom friends along the way I set my eyes on becoming a Lactation Consultant. This profession combines my passions for babies, breastfeeding, and helping others. I so enjoyed my breastfeeding experiences with my babies that I wished the same for all moms. So, in my 30's and a mom of 5 at the time, I returned to school. After completing my prerequisites, I was accepted to the program at UCSD and finally became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

I would love to offer you guidance and support as you navigate new motherhood and breastfeeding. I offer comprehensive services to boost your confidence and will work closely with you to help you achieve measurable results to meet your breastfeeding goals.
