Meet your IBCLC
My name is Mara Lubic, I started this company in the summer of 2019, to help local mommies obtain the care and assistance, they deserve during this beautiful journey of childbirth and lactation.I started my educational path at Palm Beach State College and obtained my Associates and LPN certification in 2009. After graduation, I started working in endocrinology. It has given me a knowledge base to help mothers with complex medical histories, such as diabetes or thyroid disorders. In fall of 2013, I earned my Bachelors of Health Sciences from Kaplan University with distinction of Summa Cum Laude.After the birth of our second daughter in August of 2013, I went to a local BabyCafe in El Paso, Texas looking for breastfeeding help. As a military spouse,at the time, it was very difficult to find support so far away from home. My breastfeeding experience with our first daughter was a struggle, and I was determined to make this journey with our second daughter different and successful. It was there, at Baby Cafe of El Paso, where I first realized my true calling of lactation!
I earned my International Board Certification in Lactation in 2015. I began working for one of the field's leading IBCLC's in Columbia, SC - Denise Altman RN, IBCLC. Over the years I have worked with hundreds of infants, and have a special interest determining how the infant structure affects the infant’s function. This can include tongue or lip ties, torticollis, birth trauma, or molding from uterine positioning. In recent years, I have incorporated a more holistic approach to assist families.
I can’t wait to help you, reach your breastfeeding goals!
