Indigenous values, centered in
expert level support
Ashley Sayers, IBCLC + full spectrum doula is proud to be one of the few Indigenous IBCLCs. Current statistics show only 0.4% of IBCLCs identify as Native American.
Ashley Sayers blends Indigenous values with evidence based care to create a model of empowerment though education: the more we know, the better we can do for ourselves & for others.
Educate. Empower.
Protect. Promote.
Protection and promotion of human milk is vital to sustained breastfeeding & positive health outcomes. It is said that our actions impact those 7 Generations from now: Breastfeeding offers generational benefits that extend far beyond our generation alone. Breastfeeding isn’t just for nutrition, it has emotional benefits for the whole family + acts as a powerful trauma reduction tool. This is especially impactful in communities that navigate ongoing generation trauma.
Ashley Sayers, IBCLC is deeply committed to the protection & promotion of breastfeeding though accessible clinical-level lactation support, professional + parental education education and on invoking meaningful change in lactation practices to better support all families.
Sovereign. Sacred. Support.
Ashley believes each family to be sovereign, and each baby + feeding journey to be sacred. Ashley strives to work with families in the creation & implementation of plans that support their own personal feeding needs- not a personal agenda. Recognition of families as sovereign maintains their role as the ultimate voice in their baby’s care.
Every baby & every feeding journey is a sacred ceremony: a balance between physical & spiritual growth for all. Holding your family & your experience as sacred provides reverence for the weight of this journey, and the impacts you are creating now for future generations.
You are not alone. #StaySacred
