Liz Libby, IBCLC, CLC, CCCE, HBCE
Rising Tide Women: Doulas and Lactation
Topic: Self Care for Busy Moms
Self-care is a big buzzword these days, but most of us don't have the time or budget for regular mani-pedis or spa days. Not to mention, self-care can just start to feel like one more thing on our to-do list. In this session, we'll be talking real, doable, sustainable self-care practices for busy parents. Liz will share what works for her and her clients, and give you some ideas and resources to keep you feeling grounded and nourished.
Time: 11:30 am
Like you, lactation consultant Liz Libby is a mom who just wants to drink her coffee while it's still hot. She loves dark chocolate, the smell of old books, and dogs who like to snuggle. Oh, and her kids.
As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and a Certified Lactation Counselor, she has helped hundreds of nursing parents meet their breastfeeding goals both in the hospital and in private practice. Together with the marvelous doula Lindsay Miller, she supports new and expectant parents on their journey, helping them to empower themselves and guiding them with evidence-based information along the way. Liz and Lindsay deliver (see what we did there?) prenatal classes, birth support, postpartum care, and breastfeeding support, all with nonjudgment and an irreverent sense of humor.
When she's not working with new and expectant moms, Liz can usually be found upcycling clothes, reading YA novels, or answering the question 'why' for the seven millionth time. You can find her and Lindsay at www.RisingTideWomen.com.
