THE LACTOLOGIST

Northwest Arkansas

Southwest Missouri

Heather Pahl, MS, IBCLC

I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), which is the "gold standard" training for lactation professionals. I eagerly started my journey in the lactation world in 2015, trained under an incredible decades-long IBCLC, and passed the board exam in 2018. I have since practiced with thousands of families in five states, including Arkansas where I plan to stay. I frequently do continuing education so that I am always learning and providing the best care possible. I take pride in caring for mothers and babies with a holistic approach- a little blend of crunchy and modern medicine when needed. I provide some options, but you get to decide what you want to do. I am your supporter.

How is The Lactologist different from other lactation providers?

> I am a one woman show, so it is guaranteed that you always see the same IBCLC

> I have flexibility in choosing the best care for my patients since I don't have a corporation or larger organization restricting my practice

> You get personal, ongoing communication from me as long as you need

> No travel fees within 30 minutes; nominal fee for 35-60 min.

> This is a small, easy to sustain business so you are my priority- not building an empire
