My greatest desire is to help breastfeeding families feel heard and supported. We will work together to uncover and overcome the underlying causes of breastfeeding challenges. I will ensure you have an actionable plan to help you reach your breastfeeding goals and the support you need to see it through. I look forward to working with you.

I have been an OB nurse for over 40 years and began to specialize in lactation over 10 years ago. I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2006. My background in nursing has given me a distinct advantage to problem solve breastfeeding difficulties and to be able to formulate plans of care to guide a family to successful breastfeeding. The last few years I have spent a lot of time and study on tongue restrictions (also known as tongue ties). Your baby’s ability to use his/her tongue will be evaluated during my in-home consultation, so you can be assured your family will get a thorough assessment and I will work with you on developing a plan to resolve your breastfeeding issues.

Ariel began her career as a neuroscientist studying the neural basis of learning, memory, and drug addiction but quickly found that her passion for scientific research was surpassed by caring for her first child in 2009. Living in Paris, France at the time, she left the research world to stay with her daughter full time. She was surprised at how breastfeeding became so much a part of caring for her daughter and helping others with breastfeeding became a passion when she moved back to the US in 2010 and started leading meetings at a local breastfeeding support group in Katy, TX. After a few years of volunteering, Ariel became certified as an IBCLC and began a private practice in Vermont where she was living at the time. Life brought her back to the Houston area in December of 2020 where she joined Bayou City Breastfeeding and is happy to be part of such an amazing group! Ariel successfully breastfed all three of her girls, though not without its challenges, and she therefore knows that support is critical! Although she doesn’t work in the scientific field any longer, the scientific method has helped guide her methodology as an IBCLC since she believes getting to the root cause of a breastfeeding issue is critical, and that temporary fixes often hide important underlying functional or structural issues which need to be addressed in order to have the best breastfeeding experience. Ariel is happy to be part of Bayou City Breastfeeding and looks forward to supporting families in any way they need.

Rosemary has enjoyed a lifelong connection with infants and children since an early age. Born in England and raised in a large, close, and loving family, Rosemary enjoyed every opportunity to be involved in caring for her younger siblings from the moment of their birth onwards. As Rosemary attended college obtaining her degree in Art & Design, she continued to nurture her calling, working with infants and toddlers as a Nanny.
Rosemary met her future husband after moving to live and work in South Africa, having been offered a position at a local daycare in Secunda, S.A. Rosemary’s own two children quickly followed and then began her personal experience of the joys and challenges of breastfeeding. After a difficult birth and separation from her son, compounded by the absence of any lactation support or knowledgeable hospital staff, Rosemary and her infant son struggled to breastfeed. Rosemary still feels the disappointment and heartache of that lost journey with her son today. Rosemary’s daughter arrived after a natural and uncomplicated birth, latching immediately and then began the exhilarating journey of successful breastfeeding. Rosemary’s daughter was what is frequency described as ‘Tongue-Tied’ and so successful breastfeeding presented multiple challenges which were constantly changing throughout their journey together.
Rosemary continued to travel and reside in multiple countries where her focus was upon raising her children. She and her family finally settled in Southern California while her children attended school and grew up, moving to Houston once her children were grown. During her work in Houston supporting prenatal and postpartum families, Rosemary met Sandie Lemke, IBCLC. After observing Sandie’s work during lactation consultations, Rosemary finally responded to her true calling and began her IBCLC journey.
Rosemary shadowed, observed and trained with multiple experienced IBCLC’s, providing her with access to a varied and high level of training. After obtaining her IBCLC certification Rosemary began to work with Texas Lactation Consultants as an IBCLC until the Fall of 2021, when she started her own practice. Rosemary has advanced training and experience in infant oral restrictions (tongue/lip/buccal ties) as well as providing prenatal consultations and expert support (in-home or office consultations) for a wide range of infant feeding issues including latching, low milk production, oversupply, re-lactation, bottle-feeding/refusal, exclusive pumping, introduction of solid foods, weaning, back to work preparation, etc. From assurance that ‘all is going well’ to the more intensive support and expertise required at times, Rosemary is honored to support all of her families and help them to reach their goals.

My passions in life are teaching, encouraging, and helping others grow in confidence. I love that I am able to be a small part of each family's unique feeding journey. It brings me joy to watch parents grow in confidence in caring for their babies. My hope is that I can bring peace to stressful situations, encouragement and comfort when they feel most vulnerable, and cheer parents on in empowered determination to reach their feeding goals.
