Holistic lactation support for newborns & throughout your entire breastfeeding journey Contact Sandy for a free 20 minute phone consultationCongratulations on the birth of your baby!
My name is Sandy Adler, and I am so grateful to be able to offer compassionate home-based and virtual lactation support to the community of growing families here in Marin and the Bay Area. I believe that providing breast milk to your baby sets the foundation for optimal health for life for you both. My intention is to provide a holistic, family-centered model of care, taking into consideration baby, mother, partner, family dynamic and extended resources. Working together, we can develop a Personalized Wellness Plan and identify the tools and resources needed to help you reach your goals.
I am hoping to make lactation support affordable to all, and will be offering a sliding-scale for my services, so that no one is excluded from receiving the essential care they need.
Most importantly, my practice prioritizes your and your baby’s needs first. This journey can be really hard for some families and isn’t always intuitive. I am here to listen, answer your questions and meet you where you are at, in this moment. I’m excited to connect with you in person or online, and look forward to supporting you with safe, non-judgemental care throughout your entire breastfeeding journey.

About Sandy (Shuli)
I am an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant and a Postpartum, Pediatric, Emergency Room, and Holistic RN. I work part-time as a Lactation Consultant at an outpatient pediatric clinic in a Bay Area hospital. I am versed in mainstream and alternative modalities and up to date with the latest treatment protocols for lactation care.
I have lived in Marin for 28 years, raised my now two adult children here, and had a midwife-led hospital birth with my son and a home birth with my daughter.
I am passionate about providing practical strategies for lactation support to my communities here and abroad.
I have been committed to supporting refugees and indigenous communities in the US and internationally since I became a nurse in 2009.
In May 2023, I went to Syria and Lebanon to provide lactation support to mothers and newborns through hands on care, and training workshops to midwives and nurse living in refugee camps. In 2019, I facilitated a lactation workshop for refugees from Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria and Iran in a refugee camp off the coast of Turkey. I look forward to offering compassionate and practical approaches to support the unique needs of your growing family.
