Ronna Waddell BSN, RN, IBCLC

My pronouns are she/her, and I am committed to honoring and respecting yours.

As a military spouse, an ambivert, a mother of two young boys, and a lifelong learner, my professional journey began as a Registered Nurse in the Neurological and Orthopedic Unit and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) within the hospital setting.

The birth of my second child inspired me to pursue my International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) Certification, an interest that grew during my time in the NICU. My personal struggles with breastfeeding highlighted the critical importance of quality support in a successful nursing relationship.

It was during this challenging breastfeeding period that I discovered Craniosacral Therapy (CST) and recognized its profound impact. CST was instrumental in helping me achieve my breastfeeding goals. I am deeply grateful for the ongoing opportunity to learn about CST, particularly its effectiveness in calming and regulating the nervous systems of both infants and adults. I also enjoy integrating Craniosacral Therapy into my appointments as an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

My primary goal is to ensure my clients feel educated and supported as they explore the best feeding options for their families, whether that involves breast/chestfeeding, pumping, and/or formula.

Outside of my work and studies, I enjoy chasing after my energetic boys, crafting, exploring herbalism, gardening, and spending as much time outdoors as possible.
