LINDSAY CARPENTER, IBCLC RN
IBCLC, Back-up Birth Assistant, Breastfeeding Educator
Lindsay has been a Registered Nurse since 2010. Her desire for becoming a nurse was to care for moms and babies. Her work in Couplet Care sparked her passion for becoming a Lactation Consultant. Shortly after she gave birth to her fourth baby at home in 2019, she became certified as an IBCLC. Lindsay loved the home birth experience so much that she looked into becoming a part of the homebirth community. After her 5th baby, she asked to jump on board with my midwifery team.
