The Wholesome Lactation Mission
Becoming a new parent is an exciting time, but many leave the hospital feeling disempowered and alone, with many unanswered questions and needing compassionate lactation support. I listen to your needs and problem-solve with you so that you can feel empowered to advocate for yourself, trusting your innate ability to be a good parent. My clients often appreciate my sensitivity, kindness and highly detailed solutions.
All mothers want to do the best they can for their babies. I know you have what it takes and will help guide you to meet your goals.
Client Testimonials
“Marcelle Crago was there by my side to not only instruct, but provide hands on assistance in learning how to breastfeed my child. She coached me consistently from his birth until he weaned off my breast after 6 successful months of breastfeeding. I could never have been as successful without her knowledge and skill. She is someone I highly recommend in assisting any type of female with their lactation journey. ”
“Breastfeeding is one of the most beautiful things we as mothers can do for our children. When I fed my son, we both would struggle to get him to latch on. Marcelle was able to show me how and when to get him to nurse. Eventually with her help it became pain-free and less of a struggle. Without the proper knowledge that Marcelle passed on to me about breastfeeding, I wouldn’t have known what I know now. I also would like to thank her for her patience and time.”
“Marcelle took great care of me and my son! I was in a lot of pain breastfeeding, and her initial visits helped educate me on additional positions and technique that alleviated some of the pain, but we were still having issues (mastitis, damage, etc.). It was taking him a long time to get full, and we were feeding all the time. She correctly identified a small posterior tongue-tie, which ended up being the main issue. We were super reluctant to do the procedure and waited until he was two months old. I wish I had listened from the start and gone ahead with it—almost 4 weeks later, I’m finally pain-free and my boy can eat efficiently!! Thankful for her education and support so I can enjoy the breastfeeding/bonding experience. If you’re doubting whether you need a lactation consultant, you do, and Marcelle will take care of you!!”

“I highly recommend working with Marcelle for any lactation support needs! When my son was refusing my breast and falling off his growth curve, I felt overwhelmed and lost. Marcelle took the time over multiple sessions, both in person and virtual, to assess the root cause of our challenges. She is highly detailed and compassionate, bringing extensive training and resources in to support us. She correctly identified a tongue-tie and supported us through the procedure and the exercises afterwards. Marcelle provided detailed solutions and followed up to make sure all of my questions were answered. We are successfully breastfeeding today because of Marcelle!”
