After giving birth to her first daughter in 2017, Tara fell in love with breastfeeding. She attended Baby Cafe regularly and saw the demand for lactation support. That is when she knew she could make a difference and began the coursework to become a lactation consultant.

She gave birth to her second daughter in 2019 and completed her internship at Novant Prince William Medical Center training alongside Lilly. 

After becoming board certified in 2021, she began to work as a Lactation Consultant at Prince William Medical Center. In the hospital setting, she supports inpatient mothers postpartum by providing breastfeeding education and assistance. She also provides support by teaching breastfeeding classes for moms to be. 

Tara’s goal is to help mothers get off to a great start with breastfeeding and support moms throughout their breastfeeding journey by continuing to provide assistance and education. Tara hopes to help moms feel confident and create lasting connections with the breastfeeding community. 

She recently moved to Berryville and is looking forward to serving the breastfeeding community and working alongside Lilly once more!

Kelsey is passionate about infant, maternal, and public health, and is looking forward to applying her degree in public health and her personal experience with breastfeeding ­­to helping new parents on their feeding journeys. She is the mother of four children aged 5 to 12, and hopes to specialize in feeding multiples, as she was able to exclusively breastfeed her preemie twins and wants to help other new parents do the same.

Kelsey lives in South Riding and hopes to offer support to the local breastfeeding community once she is fully certified. Her goal is to empower new parents with support, education, and a non-judgmental attitude about the many aspects of the feeding journey. She believes that a fed baby is paramount and wants to work with families to reach that goal.
