Our story

Two IBCLCs who built the businesses nobody taught us to build

We've been exactly where you are — brilliant at the clinical work, completely on our own for the business side. Here's how we figured it out, and why we made this for you.

Katie and Bri — IBCLCs and founders of Lactation Consultant Ed

We started where you are now

We're Katie and Bri — two IBCLCs who love this work and the families we serve. But when we opened our own practices, we hit the same wall so many consultants do: nobody hands you a business playbook with your credential.

We sat in the empty-calendar panic. We undercharged. We pieced marketing and billing together between clients and hoped it would add up. Then we stopped treating our practices like a hobby and started treating them like real businesses.

The result? Two thriving group practices — Breezy Babies in Utah and The Breastfeeding Mama in Colorado — built on actual systems. Lactation Consultant Ed is where we hand you that exact playbook, so you can skip the years of guessing.
