About Oriana, RN, IBCLC

I'm an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Registered Nurse with over three years of experience supporting families on their feeding journey in the hospital in postpartum and NICU. Every family is different, and my goal is to offer personalized, compassionate care that helps you feel confident and empowered.

I discovered my passion for lactation support while working as a nurse in the NICU and in postpartum. Being there for families during those first vulnerable days showed me just how powerful the right support can be. It inspired me to specialize even further and become an IBCLC, so I could help families feel more confident and connected.

I’m proud to be an IBCLC and RN! I'm also working towards becoming a Spanish medical interpreter certification and postpartum doula to offer even more holistic support to the families I work with and am working towards my DNP in leadership and organizational science.

I live with my fiancé and two fur babies in Richmond, Virginia. I enjoy painting, dancing, traveling anywhere tropical, and dreaming up creative projects to support new families.
