On this week's episode we will tackle lactation consulting, doula care and its advantages to maternal health outcomes. We are joined by board certified lactation consultant and trained Doula: Shenell Ford. Shenell is the founder of the community-based lactation practice called Heart2HeartBeat Lactation & Wellness clinic. She is currently a research associate and consultant on the New Moms Wellness Study of UMASS Amherst. Shenell also serves as the chair of SDHHS Maternal Child Health Commission. She became a board certified lactation consultant in January 2019. We are so grateful to Shenell for her time and expertise.
