Greetings Athens families! My name is Julie Gladney. I’ve developed relationships with breastfeeding families in the Athens area for the past 12 years as a student, a volunteer, a professional as well as a fellow parent. After the birth of my oldest child, Nova, I found myself feeling as though I lacked all the necessary information to make truly informed decisions in regards to my birth and breastfeeding experiences. I sought out the Birth Circle and Athens La Leche League with the goal of learning as much as I possibly could about physiologic birth and breastfeeding, especially the intricately linked relationship between the two. Both groups were instrumental in laying down the foundation of knowledge that set me on the path I am now on. I’ve had a variety of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding experiences including loss. I am mother to five, between ages 22 months and 16 years, including one I never got to meet. I am preparing this year to sit for the exam to recertify as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) after 10 years of clinical practice with families. I keep up with the latest research and am always searching for new ways to help challenging situations. Above all, I am always learning. No matter how long I’ve been working with breastfeeding families, I continue to learn, often deeper and in new ways from each and every breastfeeding dyad I meet. For that, I thank families for allowing me to walk with them through this very special perinatal time. I’m passionate about giving families access to information so that they can truly make informed decisions as they walk through these tender years. I am also bursting with pride as I continue to nurture my private practice, Ebb & Flow Lactation, which is blooming with success thanks to the Athens community. I look forward to continuing to serve families with breastfeeding needs in the Athens area.
I currently offer professional lactation services as breastfeeding consultations, prenatal breastfeeding assessments and classes. Ebb & Flow Lactation is currently in network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna. Schedule online —->
