About Me
Hi, My name is Shanna Kimmons and I provide In-Home and Virtual Visits. I have over 19 years experience helping mothers breastfeed. I’m a mother of 4 beautiful children. My interest in lactation came about in 2004 when my 20 year old was born at 26 weeks gestation. That experience of expressing breast milk for my then NICU baby sent me on a path of becoming a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor and then an IBCLC. With my experience of breastfeeding a preterm, late preterm and full term babies, I know there can be struggles because I too struggled in the beginning but went on to successfully meet my breastfeeding goals. It will be my honor to help you reach your breastfeeding goal.
Virtual Prenatal Consults
I provide a 60 minutes of expert guidance and personalized advice to prepare you for breastfeeding. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and confidence for a successful nursing experience. Let me support you on this important journey.

Together, we will work on latch positioning, discuss the normal course of breastfeeding, and I will provide you with a personalized care plan to implement at home.
