Introducing myself!!!

Picture by: @photographercr

Hi everybody, I would like to introduce myself today! My name is Silvia. I am a biologist, a lactation consultant, a certified infant massage instructor and a parenting coach. A few years ago, before I even had kids of my own, I used to work as a tourist guide in Costa Rica. So one day, when we were on a day trip to Braulio Carrillo National Park, a couple of tourists talked to me about La Leche League International, and they explained if I was going to have babies one day, they could support my family on our breastfeeding journey. And so we did... Some years after that conversation we sought support from La Leche League, made many nice and enduring friendships on the meetings, and I became a Leader myself.

I realized working with families and their babies was my true calling. So I started studying Breastfeeding, and a few years after I got my certification, I also certified on Infant Massage. During our parenting journey, our first born became allergic to casein, and so, combined with biology, began to support families whose daughters or sons were diagnosed with casein allergy.

I really enjoy my job. It allows me to raise my kids and support other families with high quality information, based from experience, science and love!

Silvia ❣️
