Mariel Rodner IBCLC, CBS
Compassionate. Supportive. Caring.
As an IBCLC, I'm committed to helping new moms overcome their breastfeeding challenges because I know from personal experience how important it is to have the right support. My own struggles with breastfeeding led me to pursue a career in lactation support. At the time I was fortunate enough to be working in the health care field, next to a world renowned surgeon, pioneer in the treatment of tethered oral tissues (TOTS). I decided to pursue my CBS (certified breastfeeding specialist) certificate and after several years helping moms in the clinical aspect of caring for oral ties revisions, I earned my IBCLC certification. I am also trained in craniosacral fascial therapy and integrate bodywork in my visits, as I believe that optimal movement is key to feeding success.
I am passionate about learning new ways to help babies and parents thrive.
​
With a degree in Dentistry and a specialty in Endodontics, I have a deep understanding of the mouth's anatomy and function, which gives me a unique perspective on the challenges that can arise during breastfeeding. I find it a privilege to wake up every day knowing that I can make a difference in the lives of babies and parents alike, and nothing brings me greater joy than seeing their smiles.
​
Besides helping new families, I enjoy being in nature, traveling with my husband, and getting a good workout.
While I've achieved many dreams in my career and personal life, my ultimate goal is still to run a marathon!
