Q & A With Sarah
Describe your organization and what makes it interesting.
I am the founder of Thrive Lactation Center, a breastfeeding clinic that offers in-home and virtual breastfeeding education to families in Southwest Florida.
What are your responsibilities?
In addition to managing day to day business operations, I am the lead lactation consultant. In that role, I teach breastfeeding classes and lead lactation consults for families. I am incredibly passionate about giving babies the best start nutritionally by helping their mothers meet their personal breastfeeding goals.
What are you currently working on?
In addition to seeing patients, I am currently working on partnering with local obstetric physician offices to develop a breastfeeding support program for patients. The goal is to increase exclusive breastfeeding rates among their patient population through prenatal education sessions and individualized breastfeeding help.
