ABOUT LATCHOLOGY

Compassionate Breastfeeding Support

Latchology was born out of the need for accessible, compassionate breastfeeding support beyond the hospital setting. I've spent over 25 years helping mothers achieve their breastfeeding goals, and I pride myself on being perceptive, kind, gentle, and trustworthy. I understand that breastfeeding is a deeply personal journey, and I respect that every family is different. My support is free from judgment, and I embrace the unique paths and diverse family dynamics that I have the privilege of working with.

Hear from Happy Latchology Families

"When I had issues breastfeeding my second child, my pediatrician recommended I join a breastfeeding group led by Julie. From my first day, I felt supported and understood. After our first meeting Julie even reached out to check in with me and see how I was doing. Julie’s expertise and positivity made me feel like I could continue my breastfeeding journey. I have now been exclusively breastfeeding almost 6 months, and I know I wouldn’t have continued breastfeeding without her support. I recommend anyone who needs breastfeeding support to seek out Julie."

Love, Sarah and Sammy
"Where do I start about the amazing Julie. I met Juile back in 2019 when I was having my first son Dylan. I was struggling so much with breastfeeding and needed some support. I was so upset walking in the hallway at the hospital and Julie who wasn’t even my Nurse Saw I was upset and came to help me. She helped me in the hospital but then came to my home to also help me. I was able to breastfeed my son until he was a year old. If it wasn’t for her I would have given up. Then fast forward to 2024 with my son Jaxson she also saved me as I was struggling once again. Julie is so kind and intelligent. She gave me so many tips on what to do to get my son to latch. Breastfeeding is really important to me and without Julie’s help I wouldn’t have made it. She is a true angel and excellent at what she does. I can’t thank her enough."

Love, Kasey McClusky
"Julie understood my hesitation in my response to how I planned to feed. There was ZERO pressure from her one way or another, but rather she encouraged me to do what I was most comfortable with.She saw I was stressed. She sat and held my hand. I was met with compassion, encouragement, and empowerment. She asked me if I would like her to show me how to use the pump And if I wanted to first hand express my colostrum. Her encouragement gave me the motivation to try – and then I produced .5 mL immediately she cheered me on and seemed generally impressed! It made me feel like “wow maybe I can do this after all. “! Julie took the time to sit with me and go over how to use both pumps in detail, and answered every question I had (Even repetitive ones). With Julie‘s support, I am now 16 weeks postpartum and still exclusively breastfeeding. Julie is an absolute treasure and I wanted to bring to light just how much she’s impacted my breastfeeding journey."

"Julie was one of those very special people who blessed our new family. She supported me as a first time mom through my breastfeeding journey. She is calm, sweet, non judgmental and easygoing. When all seems overwhelming, she is there to cheer you on and help you and your baby figure out the most beautiful bond of breastfeeding. She was there for me prior to our daughter’s birth, postpartum and for months after. She provided our family with support and encouragement! She is an excellent resource and we’ll help you through this beautifully unique experience."

- Madeline B.
"Thank you so much for all of your help and support with breastfeeding and during the postpartum recovery time. Your guidance and assistance made a huge difference in helping us learn and feel more confident with breastfeeding our little girl, Hope. We appreciate your kindness and all you’ve done for us, especially as first time parents."

Love, Joy and Brian Shuster
"Hey Julie! I wanted to reach out and thank you for everything. I never would've made it past the first month if it wasn't for your support and guidance. Now we're 7 months in and no signs of stopping anything soon! So thank you SO much. You'll definitely be missed by Kelsey and I. Wishing you the best!"

Love, Kelsey’s Mom
