Joanne Gagnon RN, IBCLC, PMH-C
We offer integrated lactation consulting, reiki and perinatal support to nourish both feeding relationships and emotional wellbeing. Our care model honors the physical, emotional, and energetic experiences of postpartum families, supporting regulation, confidence, and connection. This multi-provider experience supports both the physical mechanics of feeding and the emotional and trauma-informed needs of the family — all in the comfort of your home.

GOLD Beginnings is a live, virtual prenatal breastfeeding class designed especially for mothers who want gentle, evidence-based education delivered through a trauma-informed lens. This is not a rigid, one-size-fits-all course. It’s a compassionate, supportive space where your mental health matters just as much as feeding goals.
