Hello & Welcome

Thank you for being here

Tamara Strong

Your Friendly Neighbourhood Lactation Consultant

My career began in 2010 as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Working with women, parents, newborns, and families, inspired me to go back to school; in 2019 I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN). Becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) allowed me the incredible privilege of supporting birthing parents and women throughout labour and delivery.

Bringing a baby into the world and becoming a parent is a massive transition, filled with intense emotion. In addition to the excitement, many parents experience worry and stress as they settle into their new roles. Whether you are having your first baby or are growing your existing family, every baby is unique and you may have questions along the way. 

Sweet Pea Lactation Consulting was started to provide parents with the support they need to feel encouraged and empowered in how they choose to feed their baby. My practice is deeply rooted in the belief that all families need & deserve support, no matter where you are at in your journey of parenthood. 

My promise is to build your confidence as a parent, and support you in achieving your goals.

Qualifications

Together, we can develop a realistic and attainable feeding plan that honours both you and your baby’s needs.
