Michelle Cookas, Postpartum Doula & Certified Lactation Counselor

Hi, I'm Michelle.

Michelle is a passionate lactation counselor with over five years of experience dedicated to empowering families and supporting successful breastfeeding journeys. Her passion for lactation began after the transformative births of her own children, all three of whom had oral ties, an experience that highlighted for her the critical need for supportive, evidence-based lactation care. Through her personal journey, Michelle came to deeply understand the value of a “village” in helping new parents navigate the challenges of breastfeeding and early parenthood.

Known for her patience, empathy, and compassionate approach, Michelle takes time to actively listen to each family’s story, providing personalized care plans tailored to their unique needs. She is highly skilled in addressing a range of concerns including latch difficulties, low milk supply, and breast pump use.

Michelle is a strong advocate for evidence-based practices and is committed to equipping families with accurate information and practical resources. Her goal is to foster a supportive, educational environment where families feel confident and empowered to reach their feeding goals—whatever they may be.

She looks forward to meeting new families and being a trusted part of their journey into parenthood.
