HOME / About

“I grew up surrounded by women who nursed each other’s babies—stories of resilience and magic that sparked my lifelong passion. After 10 years as a NICU nurse and pediatric NP, and over 3 years breastfeeding my own two children, I became an IBCLC in 2024 to bring both clinical expertise and mother-to-mother understanding to every family.”

Meet Leslie Rollins, FNP, IBCLC—Your Compassionate Breastfeeding Partner.

Leslie Rollins brings together a rich tapestry of personal experience, clinical expertise, and a deep-rooted family tradition of nurturing. Raised in a holistic household where mothers and grandmothers passed babies from arm to arm—breastfeeding each other’s little ones out of love and necessity—Leslie witnessed firsthand the extraordinary bond that nursing creates. Those early memories sparked a lifelong passion: to help every mother and baby discover their own unique rhythm and joy in breastfeeding.

A Journey Rooted in Care & Expertise

- NICU Nurse & Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (10+ years)
Leslie’s career began in the high-stakes world of the NICU, where she cared for the tiniest, most fragile patients. From the hum of ventilators to the quiet relief of a successful latch, she learned both the science and the soul of infant care. Transitioning to pediatric primary care, she honed her skills in family-centered communication—listening deeply to parents’ hopes, fears, and questions.

- International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) – 2024
In 2024, Leslie achieved her IBCLC credential, the gold standard in lactation care. Through rigorous training and hundreds of supervised consults, she mastered the latest evidence-based techniques—from tongue-tie assessment to advanced supply-support protocols—so she can offer you the very best strategies, grounded in science and delivered with compassion.

- Mother & Mentor
Leslie’s personal breastfeeding journey—nursing her son for 2½ years and welcoming her daughter later that same year—gives her a mother’s empathy alongside her clinical lens. She understands the heart-soaring highs of a perfect latch and the heart-wrenching lows of supply struggles. That dual perspective empowers Leslie to guide you not only with expert advice, but with genuine solidarity.
