Kellie, IBCLC – Lactation Consultant in Des Moines, IA

Kellie is an IBCLC, Registered Nurse, and mom of two based in Des Moines, Iowa.

Kellie provides in-home and virtual lactation consultations for families throughout Des Moines and surrounding areas—and via telehealth for families worldwide.

These personal and professional experiences led her to focus her career on empowering parents through personalized lactation care.
