Why You Should Choose An IBCLC
Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant's (IBCLC's) are recognized as the gold standard credential for professionals who work with lactating families.
IBCLC's have a global governing body (IBLCE), a strict scope of practice, clearly defined clinical competencies, and a professional code of conduct.
To become an IBCLC, candidates must hold an in depth health sciences education, have obtained a minimum of 95 hours of lactation specific education and an extensive number of clinical lactation practice hours prior to writing a comprehensive licensing examination.
An IBCLC must recertify with IBLCE every 5 years to maintain their license and they are committed to ongoing education and maintaining clinical competency.
I am a settler who lives and works on Treaty 6 territory and I recognize that I benefit greatly from colonialism. Treaty 6 territory is a traditional meeting ground, gathering place and travelling route for the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Metis, Dene and Nakota Sioux.
I respectfully acknowledge the many First Nations, Metis and Inuit caretakers and knowledge keepers whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries.
I am a guest in their lands.
