Mother Nurture- Amy Farnsley CLC
My name is Amy Farnsley and I am a Certified Lactation Counselor
(CLC) and Dona trained Post Partum Doula. I provide postpartum care for
families in the Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana area. I believe
the support a woman receives both during labor and the postpartum period can
shape how she feels about her birth experience. The more in control, safe and
cared for she feels, the easier her transition into motherhood will be. I
work with new parents to help them gain confidence
in their choices to care for their families

Blossom Breastfeeding Mary Oliver Humke M.Ed IBCLC
As a lactation
consultant, I provide support to clients in Louisville, Kentucky and
Southern Indiana, and will come to you to assess and assist with breastfeeding.
Home is the best place to meet because we will be able to work together in the
very place you will be nursing and caring for your baby. A digital scale will
enable us to weigh the baby before and after feedings to determine the amount
of milk transferred.
