Meet Our Team
Kristen Duncan BSN, RN, IBCLC
Hi, I'm Kristen, a registered nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with over 17 years of nursing experience and the past 12 years dedicated to caring for families in women's services. Supporting mothers and babies during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period has been one of the greatest privileges of my career.
My passion for breastfeeding began with my own children. Like many parents, my journey wasn't always straightforward. I breastfed my first son for four months but struggled with pumping after returning to work. With my next child, I breastfed for 16 months before ultimately weaning after feeling pressure from others about how long I should continue. Those early experiences taught me how deeply personal feeding decisions can be and how important it is for parents to feel supported rather than judged.
After my first two babies, I experienced two second-trimester losses, and I wondered if I would ever have the chance to breastfeed again. When I was later blessed with my miracle twins, I held tightly to the promise that I made to myself: that our feeding journey would be guided by our needs, not outside opinions. I went on to breastfeed them for two years, navigating the unique challenges of feeding twins and combination feeding.
Because of my own wide range of experiences from short-term breastfeeding to extended breastfeeding, pumping challenges, bottle refusal, and feeding multiples, I understand that every family's story is different. My goal is to meet you where you are, support your feeding goals, and help you feel confident in the choices you make for your baby and family.
When I am not supporting families, you'll likely find me caring for my backyard chickens or quilting. I like to joke that I'm an old soul at heart, and I truly enjoy the simple, meaningful rhythms of home and family life.
