Anja is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) who holds a Bachelor’s degree in Health and Wellness. Her drive to cultivate a career in lactation support blossomed from a passion for lactation rights and equal access among all parents and children to quality lactation care.
Her experience as a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor at a local WIC office supporting and counseling parents gave her a solid foundation in lactation care. It was there that she realized that she wanted to provide a deeper level of care, so she started her journey to becoming an IBCLC. While studying for her IBCLC exam, she interned under Kira in private practice and enjoyed the pace. She also found the one on one care that she desired. Having passed her Board Exam, she is currently working per diem on two busy hospital floors providing inpatient lactation services. She joined The Boston Area Lactation Connection in 2022 as an Associate Clinician and will be serving patients North of Boston.
When she’s not working, you can find Anja plotting her next adventure with her 4-year-old son, running on a trail, or hanging at the nearest coffee shop.
