Meet Emma

My name is Emma Elkins. I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, or IBCLC for short.

I studied biology with minors in child development and psychology from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. After that. I completed a masters of advance study in maternal and child nutrition from UC Davis.

After completing my degrees. I completed the required 500 internship hours of hands on clinical experience with breastfeeding mothers and babies while being supervised by multiple IBCLCs in many settings.  My favorite setting to work with families was in their own home. Parents seem to be the most comfortable and we can also work together to create a feeding plan for your baby while using your environment and supplies you already have in your home.

It’s important to me to create a comfortable environment during my consultations to allow for communication, trust, and collaboration. We will work together to create a plan that works for you and your lifestyle to meet your goals of feeding your baby.

I look forward to working with you!
