Become a Lactation Leader
Â
... because being halfway to IBCLC® just isn’t where you want to be.
Maybe you’ve been referred to as “just a peer counselor” or “just a nurse” or “just a helper.”
Â
You’ve known your fair share of feeling like the uncredited expert of the health care system.
Â
You think you know the answers and maybe you do! But “they” don’t think you do.
Â
“They” need to move over, and you need to move up.
Â
Step up and finish up what needs to be done.
Â
Get your 95 hours of lactation specific hours because being halfway to IBCLC® just isn’t where you want to be.
Marie’s Step Up to Lactation Leadership Course will set you up for success
Â
This course contains all 7 of the major disciplines on IBLCE's outline all with Marie's proven approach, helping you squeeze study time into your busy life.
This course is designed for individuals who want to become IBCLC certified and have done one of the following:
- Completed a lactation counselor courseÂ
- Previously earned 40-55 hours of lactation-specific education
- Has never completed a 95-hour comprehensive course
Â
This course is designed to “fill-in” the balance of the 95 hours of lactation education hours you need to apply for the exam. You should have already completed about 45 hours of lactation specific education within the 5 years immediately preceding your exam application date.
Are you ready to take the next step in your IBCLC journey?

"
I took my initial 95 hours from another IBCLC and felt grossly under-prepared.
Â
I did my research, and took additional hours from you. I feel like it made a world of difference!"

"A special thank you to Marie and her entire team for a wonderful experience with the 95-Hour course! I am very happy that I passed on the first try.Â
Â
I cannot thank you enough!"
