Lactation Consultations with Jillian Simon RM IBCLC...The Milk Maven.
​
Jillian is an incredible Lactation Consultant who has helped hundreds of families over the past 15 years. She developed a special interest in lactation medicine when she found that so many people were struggling with their infant feeding goals in her Midwifery practice.
​
"My role as a Lactation Consultant is to help parents develop a deeply-connected, nurturing bond with their baby. I offer non-judgemental support to help families meet their goals for infant feeding. I come alongside a family as a compassionate guide to offer information, assistance and experience as they navigate their parenting journey." -Jillian Simon, RM IBCLC

JILLIAN SIMON
Registered Midwife + IBCLC
I decided to become a registered midwife after I experienced midwifery care as a mother. I was amazed at how my midwives supported and empowered me in my journey to motherhood. I feel that every pregnant person deserves the opportunity to make informed choices about their pregnancy and birth.
I studied midwifery in the Faculty of Medicine at UBC. I have been working in the Richmond and Delta areas since I graduated. In 2015 I completed board certification for Lactation Consultation with IBLCE and also completed specialized certification to be the surgical assist at cesarean sections.
​​
Breast/chestfeeding support is one of my areas of interest and experience. I enjoy helping new families as they navigate the exciting and sometimes challenging early days with a new baby and recognize the importance of postnatal support for breastfeeding to be successful.
​
I’ve been living and raising my family in Richmond since 2003. I’m so pleased to be working with families in my own community.
