👏👏👏

🚨 BIG NEWS!!! 🚨

We are SO excited to share that Dr. April has started her fertility certification!

And this is a BIG one…once she completes her certification, she will be the 2nd PT in the entire state of Illinois to be a Pelvic Rehab Fertility Specialist! 🙌🏼

We couldn’t be more proud of her dedication to expanding her knowledge, growing her skill set, and providing even more specialized care to individuals and couples navigating their fertility journey. 🤍

We see so many women navigating painful periods, painful s*x, abdominal pain, and menstrual dysfunction while trying to conceive. Our fertility focused pelvic rehab will offer hands on care, education about the menstrual cycle, and a whole body look at the factors that may affect reproductive health. Our goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and more confident in your next steps. More details to come.

Congratulations, Dr. April! Your commitment to pelvic health and fertility care is truly something to celebrate!

Here’s to big goals, continued learning, and changing lives along the way! ✨

I couldn’t agree more! It’s been wonderful getting to know Haley Willson at Close to Home Lactation Consulting❤️
What a blessing to be able to refer to someone locally who has advanced training in multiple areas and who prioritizes moms and babies over business.

If you haven’t been to Small Town Treats in St. Elmo, add it to your summer bucket list 😋

Its so great when lactation consultants in the same community understand the ultimate goal is serving the mothers and baby's in our community rather that *fighting each other for "business"*. We all have our areas of strength and various backgrounds of education but we also all strive to give the best care, support, education, and guidance possible. Shout out to Jacquelyn Ordner who has become more than just a colleague and is a wonderful friend!

Dont we look cute in watercolor🎨🥰

And shout out to small town treats in St. Elmo for a delicious meal, and even more delicious desserts! 🍰

There’s never a dull moment in lactation land, but there’s nowhere else I’d rather be 💕

Breast to chin contact is essential for triggering the gape reflex which causes your baby to open wide when they get to the breast. If your baby struggles to have a wide open mouth when you’re trying to latch, give this trick a try!
