About Me
Frances Hartley IBCLC
Hi, I'm Fran. I have been providing breastfeeding care for families since 2016; becoming Internationally Board certified in 2021 and creating Lehua Lactation. I have been a DONA certified birth and postpartum doula and childbirth educator since 2015.
After giving birth to my first child who struggled to breastfeed after a complicated birth, I discovered the field of Lactation. The skilled and compassionate care I received to help me succeed was life changing for my family, and I believe every parent deserves this level of care and attention, including one-on-one, personalized support beyond the birth.
I love caring for new families who are experiencing the joys and challenges of the postpartum period, and helping them navigate this special season of life.
