Rumina is a nod to our foundation. At the foundation, we are here to support parents in feeding their babies. Rumina, the Roman Goddess of Breastfeeding became an unofficial mascot. We are here to support your postpartum journey, from feeding, to your mental health, to your and your baby’s physical well-being.

Our Interns
Brooke
IBCLC Intern
My passion for lactation support began with my own breastfeeding journey, which came with its fair share of challenges. I know firsthand how much a little encouragement and guidance can make a difference, and I’ve never felt more passionate about a career than I do about helping families meet their feeding goals.
