Jamie Shanafelt RN, IBCLC

Owner

My name is Jamie Shanafelt and I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and registered nurse (RN). I have always considered myself a counselor and coach for women, especially concerning breastfeeding and the journey into parenthood. I obtained my degree in Psychology from San Diego State University and my Nursing degree through Saddleback College. I completed my lactation education credentialing through the UCSD Extension program. I have worked at a local hospital on the mother/baby postpartum unit helping breastfeeding couples achieve their goals in lactation for close to two decades now.

Jamie Shanafelt RN, IBCLC – Owner

I am very passionate about all things moms and babies, but education about breastfeeding/chestfeeding is my love. When my son Luke was born and I had my first breastfeeding experience, I knew I wanted to pursue a career as a lactation consultant. I was fortunate enough to have my mom as my support system to help me transition into motherhood and through my breastfeeding journey with my son. She belonged to the La Leche league and really helped me to believe in my ability to breastfeed. I then had two more experiences with my daughters. I hope to create that confidence in my clients and to coach and guide them through their breastfeeding journey.

I live in San Clemente with my lovely and adoring husband and our 3 beautiful children. When I am not teaching about breastfeeding/chestfeeding or reading up on the latest breastfeeding news, you can find me enjoying my kid's sporting events, hanging out with my family and friends, or playing a game of pickleball. I look forward to meeting you and your growing family and helping you achieve your breastfeeding goals.

Client Testimonials

Happy To Say My Baby Is Eating Completely off the Breast With No Supplementing!

Sandy was amazing! She was very thorough about getting my history and developing a plan of attack to continue my breast feeding journey when I was having trouble with a drop in supply. She was also readily available if I had any questions after the consultation. Loved that she followed up at the end of the week to see how things were going and make sure we were on the right track. She also rents scales to do the weighted feeds do that helped me to make sure baby was getting enough by breast or if I needed to supplement. Happy to say my baby is eating completely off the breast with no supplementing! I highly recommend Sandy to help with your breast feeding journey!
