VERONICA BRIGGS, Lactation Specialist (SHE/HER)

Hi, I’m Veronica! I was born in to a military family and spent the first few yrs in various places. We relocated to USA and made South Jersey our home. I now reside in Cherry Hill (10 years and counting!) with my Partner and our three children. Experiencing my own pregnancies since 2008 and breastfeeding challenges/successes led me to recognizing that the care I desired was not as accessible as I needed it to be. As a woman and woman of color, my black experience has been met with many implicit biases and lack of options for quality care especially when it came to my choice in breastfeeding. I wondered how I could help parents receive better. 

In 2018 I had the honor to begin my Certification journey. Under the direction of my mentors, community grants, college courses, and over 2,000 hours of trainings/clinical my dedication to lactation, birth, and perinatal mental health has helped 100s of families. I am currently an IBCLC candidate. My consultations provide patient centered care in the comfort of your home with personalized guidance and realistic plan to reach goals. There may be some challenges but you aren’t alone.
