Mellissa Willette, FNP, IBCLC, CBE

I have been a RN in Obstetrical Health for almost 20 years.  I knew I wanted to be in Womens health before I even graduated.  My life and career have taken a path I didnt expect. I worked in area where almost all people had an epidural and I did not want one when I had my first child.  I didnt have the support I needed and with the 2nd I learned the value of education and support. WOW it was amazing.  Teaching became a passion for me.  I realized how much power I could help women obtain over their own birth.

Breastfeeding has been a huge passion for me.  I love helping the journey of parents to succeed.  Sometimes a little help is all you need.

Taylor Ricketts, BSN, RN, IBCLC

Hello! I’m a wife, mother, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and Registered Nurse. I do this work because I believe parents deserve calm, honest support during one of the most pivotal seasons of life.

Before becoming a wife, mother, and lactation consultant, I worked as a Registered Nurse in high-risk labor and delivery hospital settings. I am certified as RNC-OB (obstetrics care) and C-EFM (electronic fetal monitoring), with professional experience spanning antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum care.

I also hold a certificate in craniosacral therapy (CST) and have served in many roles over the years, including as a travel RN prior to the birth of my first son. Through my professional and personal experiences with birth and breastfeeding, I was drawn to lactation care and infant bodywork.
