Many parents encounter challenges when it comes to understanding how to feed their infants and children. We are here to serve as a resource and advocate for you!

Panika Palmer is a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and a International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with extensive experience in various medical settings, including the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In the NICU, Panika assisted parents in learning how to feed their most vulnerable babies. In 2022, she made the decision to broaden her ability to support families regardless of their chosen feeding method. This led her to obtain the Certified Breastfeeding Specialist certification, which involved over 95 hours of continuing education covering all aspects of lactation. Panika has also completed the necessary coursework to become an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and is currently fulfilling her clinic hours to finalize this certification.

Panika's passion for feeding support was ignited when her oldest son was born under traumatic circumstances and required NICU care. Her initial experiences with breastfeeding and bottle-feeding were filled with stress, exhaustion, and isolation. It was through these challenges that she embarked on the path to become a feeding specialist, aiming to provide more families with access to the support they need for their infants and children.

We are excited to embark on this feeding journey together with you!
