Jacquelyn Aldrich, BSN IBCLC, Founder of MYSTICAL CAVES & MILKIWAYS

“Birth and breastfeeding does not need to be confusing,” says Jacquelyn Aldrich of her motivation to open MYSTICAL CAVES & MILKIWAYS. A registered nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) who serves as mother to many, Jacquelyn compassionately coaches moms through birth and breastfeeding.

“I had a tough time navigating the birth I wanted. Breastfeeding and new motherhood seemed so confusing. I initially thought birth was something to be feared and that breastfeeding would hurt,” she shares of her own experience, which she managed without advice and guidance from loved ones that felt authentic to her. “I wanted more for my motherhood.”

Now, she’s able to give mothers the transformative experience she never had through education and personalized care, shining light on the physiology of birth and breastfeeding and the different options available. “Feeling connected to your body, your birth, your baby, and your partner will be essential in motherhood,” says Jacquelyn, who adds, “It is sacred work. The best reward is seeing a mama’s happy face as she births and feeds her baby in confidence.”
