Lactation support, naturopathic care is available in-person and virtually
As a naturopathic doctor and lactation consultant, I am well equipped to support postnatal moms through their post natal journey which can sometimes feel challenging and overwhelming.
Meet Mélanie Jacobson
I became a Naturopathic Doctor as I truly believe that in many cases, when giving your body the correct ingredients for success that it can heal itself and/or be its best self.
I am driven by helping new and experienced moms with their postnatal care by supporting them to become their best self and be the mom/wife/partner that they want to be.
I use naturopathic tools and lactation consulting to support moms through the first steps of motherhood, allowing them to feel empowered, grounded and focused on caring for their growing family throughout their fourth trimester’ and beyond.
