Jessica Maxwell R.N., BScN, IBCLC

While completing my Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing at The University of Ottawa, I quickly realized that I have a passion for women’s health and pediatrics. After moving to the west coast to continue my nursing career, I completed the BCIT Neonatal Intensive Care Course in order to work in the Neonatal Unit at St Paul’s Hospital. Watching the seasoned nurses assist and support mother’s during such a vulnerable and special time, inspired me to want to be part of this wonderful community. After giving birth to my first born in 2009, and having my own battles with breast feeding, my passion for lactation support was born.

My goal is to work in partnership with mothers and their babies to meet their feeding goals. Every family is unique and so are their feeding journeys. I hope to empower my clients by providing them evidence based information and support. I also hope to instill confidence in caring for their infants, specifically regarding their feeding choices.

My husband and I are blessed with three children and currently reside in East Vancouver.
