Parenthood doesn’t have to be a voyage into the unknown.

I guide parents, caregivers, and friends through the unfamiliar waters of breastfeeding and infant feeding.

Just as the North Star is a constant guide for travelers and those at sea, I started Polaris Lactation to help you find your way too.

I’m Diana, your Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) and Military Lactation Counselor (MLC)

I’m a mom of three, world traveler, and a lover of knowledge and science. I’m passionate about helping new parents tackle infant feeding with compassion, evidence-based education, and support.

Gain education and confidence

You’ll be amazed at how many questions start piling up as you enter parenthood. Is my baby supposed to be this gassy? Didn’t they just eat 30 minutes ago? How many wet diapers has it been today? I’m passionate about keeping an open dialogue, while empowering you with evidence-based answers throughout your journey.

Client Testimonials

Diana is a devoted and informed lactation counselor. Attentive to every detail, she understands the journey of motherhood and genuinely wants to help nurture the relationship between mom and baby. She was able to meet me where I was at and provided an accepting space to discuss my thoughts, feelings, and concerns no matter how big or small. She was a huge part of why I was able to successfully breastfeed my 1st kiddo for just under two years.

Jayde
I was totally overwhelmed about going back to work and figuring out pumping, but Diana made it all make sense. I actually feel confident now—and my freezer stash is thriving!

Michelle
I took Diana’s prenatal class at 37 weeks and WOW it was so helpful—laid-back, practical, and full of stuff no one else tells you. I felt so prepared. When baby came, I actually knew what to do. Total game changer.

Katie
As a Navy mom prepping for a week away from my baby, I had no idea how to make it all work. Diana helped me plan every step—how to pump, store, ship, and keep my supply going. It was a total lifesaver. She even helped me with the information I needed to correctly claim reimbursement in the Defense Travel System (otherwise known as DTS).
