Ronae Cleland has always had a heart for serving and encouraging other women. Through the pregnancies and births of her own five children, she developed an avid interest in all things birth and breastfeeding. She volunteered for several years teaching breastfeeding classes at crisis pregnancy centers before officially becoming a Certified Lactation Specialist in 2021 through Lactation Education Consultants, which provided her the training and capacity to be able to come alongside women on a more individual basis to encourage them in their breastfeeding journeys. Ronae offers complementary lactation support to her doula clients through Birth Encouraged Doula Services and also provides private in-home lactation consultations upon request.

Lactation Consultations include:

- Breastfeeding/pumping assessment

- Support with latch and positioning

- Weighted feed and/or weight check

- Referrals to physician or IBCLC as needed

To learn more about her services or to request a consultation, please feel free to reach out via text, email, or Facebook Messenger.
