I’m so glad you’re here. Booking lactation support is often the first step toward feeling more confident and supported in your feeding journey.

As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) serving families in Pasadena and throughout Los Angeles, I provide personalized, evidence-based breastfeeding support for those searching for an IBCLC in Los Angeles, a lactation consultant near you, or trusted breastfeeding help in Pasadena. I support families navigating concerns like painful latch, low milk supply, gassiness, and feeding challenges in the early weeks and beyond. During your consultation, we take a gentle, thorough look at the full picture of feeding. This includes your baby’s latch, milk transfer, feeding patterns, and any challenges you’ve been experiencing. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re preparing for your baby’s arrival or looking for support right now, I’m here to help you feel more at ease with feeding.

My goal is not just to assess feeding, but to help you understand what’s happening and feel more confident moving forward. You’ll leave with clear, practical guidance that fits your baby and your goals — without pressure or overwhelm.

For families needing additional support during the night, I also offer overnight newborn care in Los Angeles with integrated breastfeeding support, allowing you to rest while your baby is cared for. This includes guidance with feeding, latch, pumping, and milk supply, alongside responsive newborn care throughout the night.

If you’re ready to move forward, you can book your lactation consultation below. I’ll personally review your request and follow up with within 12-24 hours. You can also call or text me directly for support at: 626-354-0011. Thank you!

Testimonial

“As a first-time mom who gave birth on April 1, 2026, I cannot say enough about how life-changing my experience with Josee was.

My daughter was born at 38 weeks weighing 6 lbs 2 oz, and within just two days, she had already lost about 6% of her birth weight. At the same time, I was experiencing severe, razor-sharp nipple pain every time I tried to breastfeed. I felt frantic, discouraged, and completely overwhelmed especially while also dealing with the baby blues. I knew I needed to feed my daughter more, but I dreaded every feeding.

My husband reached out to Josee, and she was able to meet with us the very same day. The moment I saw her, I burst into tears. She immediately hugged me, grounded me, and brought a sense of calm into what felt like a crisis.

Josee helped us come up with a thoughtful and realistic game plan that allowed my nipples to heal while still ensuring my daughter was getting the nutrition she needed to regain weight. At our second session, she guided me through proper latching techniques and breastfeeding positions in a way that was clear, supportive, and empowering.

Now, just two weeks postpartum, my daughter has exceeded her birth weight and is thriving at 6 lbs 12.5 oz, and I am exclusively breastfeeding successfully.

What truly sets Josee apart is her level of care. She checked in with me regularly via text and even came a third time—free of charge—just to make sure my daughter was gaining weight appropriately.

She was truly an angel during one of the most vulnerable moments of my life. My experience went from painful and emotional to confident and joyful: it was a complete 180. Josee has an incredible bedside manner, a calming presence, and a genuine heart for what she does. I am so grateful she showed up for us when we needed her most.”

-Melissa Adams, South Pasadena, 2026

“Josée was incredibly helpful and supportive during our breastfeeding journey. Breastfeeding is much more technical than we expected, and working with her was essential in helping us feel confident about our baby’s intake and knowing what to look for. She made simple, effective adjustments that immediately improved how efficiently our baby was feeding and taught us how to recognize when our baby was actively taking in milk. With her guidance, our baby got back to birth weight quickly. We’re so grateful for her expertise.”

-Eve Lyons, Glendale, Silverlake, 2026

“Josée has been the biggest game changer for our son’s feeding journey. After months of being dismissed from other providers, Josée came in with years of experience and genuinely listened to all of our concerns surrounding our sons feeding. With her help and guidance we’ve been able to start taking the right steps to help our son. Her kindness and warmth is what every mom needs during this journey. My only regret is not working with her sooner!”

-Khadijah Omerdin, Alhambra, 2026

“Josée came into my life three weeks postpartum, when my son’s severe tongue tie was beginning to interfere with his feeds. She taught me techniques for a deeper latch, helped me recognize early signs of a dip in supply, and got us in right away with an excellent (and very busy) pediatric dentist. Our newborn loved her immediately. She also showed us how to soothe him to sleep and how to recognize his early tired cues.

Anytime I dealt with a clogged duct or a bleb, she guided me through how to resolve it. When I was on the verge of mastitis, she was on the phone with me in the middle of the night helping me work through it.

She cares deeply about her work and is truly focused on finding solutions that fit you and your family. I genuinely don’t think I would still be exclusively breastfeeding without her support.”

-Hallie Kutak, Los Feliz, 2026

“We just made it to a full year of breastfeeding, and I truly don’t think we would have made it without Josée's help in those early days. She was so calm, kind, and reassuring during a time that felt overwhelming and emotional. Breastfeeding was feeling so complicated, but she helped us come up with a simple, realistic game plan that worked for our family. Her relaxed approach gave me so much confidence in my body, and I am incredibly grateful for her support. I recommend her to every new parent I know!”

-Emma Claffy, Pasadena, 2026
