You are doing a great job

No matter where you are in your breastfeeding journey, let me first congratulate you on your commitment to your child’s health. Breastfeeding is not always easy, and can at times feel very overwhelming, especially in the early days and weeks following birth. That is where I come in!

My name is Shawn Austin, I am a Registered Nurse (RN) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I have worked as an RN for six years in both the oncology and labor & delivery settings. My most recent time has been spent in the community supporting new breastfeeding parents and babies in home and in conjunction with a local Pediatricians office. This experience has given me insight into the challenges that arise in the first hours and days of breastfeeding a new baby, and the many months beyond in someones breastfeeding journey. My job as a Lactation Consultant is to offer you evidence-based care and a holistic approach to help you achieve your breastfeeding goals. My hope as a parent myself, is that you leave our time together feeling confident and at ease.

I am also a Prenatal/Postpartum Certified Personal Trainer and Registered Yoga Teacher. I live in Falmouth, MA with my husband Max and 2 year old son Finn.

Together, let's build a foundation where you and your little one can thrive.
