NEW TECHNIQUES FOR COMPLEX PROBLEMS
Education for Lactation Professionals
Your Practice Deserves New Tools
Welcome to Body-Led Breastfeeding, a breastfeeding support modality that works within the infant’s oral skills and physical habits to understand the forces beneath suck dysfunction. Body-Led Breastfeeding resolves complex breastfeeding difficulties by isolating and improving the work of the tongue while reducing the compensatory work of the body.
Your Lactation Skills, Deepened
Body-Led Breastfeeding integrates gentle touch, craniosacral body awareness, and classic lactation consultation techniques. The result is a system that expands the scope of lactation consulting to address the infant body tension and asymmetries obstructing the path to functional feeding.

What Participants Are Saying About
Body-Led Breastfeeding
“No one else is teaching this information, and this is the information to fill in the gaps when everything we've already learned isn't working. Directly applicable to practice.”
“This training was so much up my alley I’ve attended twice!
Ellen is a spectacularly skilled IBCLC and educator, a true voice of wisdom, and energetically insightful, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to have attended.”
“It challenged me. These skills address the areas where many of us get stuck after using traditional LC skills.”
