Here’s what past clients want you to know.

hi! i’m Rachael Anastasio Collins.

I have been a Registered Nurse (RN) since 2010 and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) since 2014.

I took a chance and launched Milked Lactation Services, LLC in 2018 and each day I continue to be motivated to provide meaningful, expert support to parents near and far. Support is what makes the difference.

Everything that I have learned through my formal education and working with families over the years has been enhanced by my own breastfeeding experiences, none of which were without their own challenges. My empathy and compassion for parents who are struggling has been strengthened because I have been there myself.

I continue to be in awe of the fact that I get to do this job. I am humbled and inspired by each family that I have the honor of working with.
