My name is Marissa Palmer, and I am a Certified Lactation Counselor through the Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice. I am based in beautiful Schenectady, New York alongside my husband, Philip, our two children, and our two dogs. We *love* our community and I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to invest in families in the Capital District and surrounding areas. 

As a mother of a nursing toddler and baby, I understand how beautiful AND difficult breastfeeding can be! Feeding our children is the most natural thing we do as moms, but it certainly does not always come naturally. 

No matter how you choose to feed your child and what your feeding goals are, I am here to support and help you. I combine evidence based knowledge and clinical skills with first-hand experience to compassionately serve my clients to the best of my ability. I strongly believe that "INFORMED and SUPPORTED is best!"
