My name is Annalis and I am a Registered Nurse and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I’ve always had a passion to help and support others. It was during my nursing career that I discovered my truest passion and calling: helping mothers and babies. Working alongside them during those precious early days, I gained invaluable experience and knowledge about breastfeeding and all its  benefits.

My dedication to helping mothers and families with their baby care needs and supporting them in their breastfeeding journey led me to realize there was a lack of help for mothers out there. This realization fueled my desire to create a safe and nurturing space for mothers and families, where they could confide in me and receive the lactation help they need. I am excited to embark on this journey with you and help you achieve the best start for both you and your baby at Latched.
