Lactation Consulting & Breastfeeding Support - In Clinic

With over 10 years of medical experience, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant Paola Vallarino is in the Yoga Mamas clinic offering one-on-one education and hands on assistance in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.
At our breastfeeding clinic, mamas and mamas-to-be will feel empowered to reach their unique breastfeeding goals.
​I went to see Paola, the lactation consultant after having to breastfeed for 5 months and constantly having blocked ducts. Even after 5 months of breastfeeding, thinking that I knew everything, Paola was able to teach me new techniques and address my issues. She was very helpful and very knowledgeable and also followed up with emails on how I was doing after. She was able to solve my issue and it has really been helpful for me and my baby. If anyone having issues Paola is the person to go to. I would highly recommend her.

Prerequisites for the board examination include thousands of hours of clinical work and dozens of educational credits in Anatomy & Physiology, Cultural Diversity, Psychology & Counselling, Child Development, Nutrition, among others. The IBLCE certification is recognized as the Gold Standard for health professionals working with breastfeeding women, and all I.B.C.L.C.s are required to adhere to IBLCE’s Professional Standards.

Paola Vallarino, IBCLC
Paola is a Lactation Consultant with over 10 years of medical background and over 1,000 
hours of clinical experience helping families to have a happy breastfeeding journey. 

​She is an International Medical Graduate, a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and an  International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), the gold standard certification for health professionals working with breastfeeding families. She comes from a family of  doctors, and being a health advocate has always been her passion. She found a love for Lactation Medicine when becoming a mother. 

As a breastfeeding mother herself, she understands the difficulties that women can face 
when feeding their babies, and that’s why her mission is to support, educate and empower them with evidence based information so that they can feel confident and give their babies the best start. 

She’s always updating her knowledge with continuing education to give families the best care. Paola also specializes in Child Nutrition and provides families with advice on how to feed their babies when starting solids or supplementing. For Paola, every family is special, and giving them the care they deserve by working on their unique feeding goals without any judgment is her number one priority. ​

​Paola is available in-clinic and virtually.

A Note About yoga Mamas' Cancellation Policies

Please note that we do not offer refunds. Each event/course/training/wellness appt has it's own specific cancellation policy which is listed on each registration page. Please take the time to read these in full prior to registering.  Each event/appointment that we run is in partnership with a practitioner who is focusing their independent career in pre and postnatal health. This is their beautiful livelihood. This is why we have these policies in place. Thank you very much for your understanding. Jamie Kalynuik, Founder of Yoga Mamas
