About Bonnie
I have had the privilege of hosting Bonnie before for a certified lactation educator training, and I always love learning from her. Bonnie balances lectures with hands on training with compassion. She is also ridiculously knowledgeable about breastfeeding not just because she is a board certified lactation consultant, but also because she has practical experience working with breastfeeding families in her independent private practice. Bonnie is a delight to be around and a fantastic source for information and skills.
We hope you will join us for this 3 day training that is entirely evidence-based. Have you committed to learning more skills this year to enhance your already impressive base? Come learn with us!
