Meet Hali

I am so fortunate that I found Hali Shields and Mother Poppins post pregnancy. Hali was an incredible resource throughout my daughter's first year, especially as it pertains to lactation support and weaning.

She made me feel comfortable from the moment she stepped through the door and provides education all throughout the session to set you up for success. She is also incredibly responsive via email and made me feel that she truly cares about her customers.

Hali was very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. The session wasn’t as intimidating or nerve wrecking as I expected when meeting someone new. She was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Every suggestion nurse Hali had was on point. She was like an angel.

Hali helped me tremendously through an infection and clogging issues. I wish I had consulted with her before I had even delivered! She helped me figure out that I was using the wrong flange size, advised me on a better pump that I able to get through my insurance, and she’s been available over the phone and in person whenever I’ve had issues come up. I went from mostly pumping and occasionally nursing to predominantly nursing, which was my goal. She helped us work through latch issues and positioning as well.

She was an absolute lifesaver throughout my breastfeeding journey. Not only did she offer expert guidance and recommend different techniques that worked wonders for my baby and me, but she also provided incredible emotional support. Hali went above and beyond just helping with the breastfeeding process—she truly understood the mental challenges that come with motherhood and was always there with helpful advice and encouragement. If you’re looking for a lactation consultant who genuinely cares and supports you in every way, Hali is the one!

She is also so calm. Her calmness is contagious. This is helpful for anxious new parents to be! She is also.very professional and knowleadble.

I truly would not have been able to breastfeed/pump for my twins without her expertise. She was always professional and included my husband in on the lessons so he could be supportive as well. She truly is a blessing and I am very grateful for her guidance!!

Hali has been with me since the first weeks of my baby's life. She gave me all the support in different phases of breastfeeding, sleeping, expressing milk with an electric pump, introducing food until the beginning of weaning, which we are currently in the process of. Today my baby is 16 months old and I consider my breastfeeding experience to be extremely successful thanks to her. Hali was a shoulder to lean on, an excellent professional, with a lot of wisdom and knowledge, she gave me the support I needed to move forward. Hali has current knowledge and follows WHO protocols, always respecting the priorities and peculiarities of the mother and baby. I am completely grateful to her and recommend her with my eyes closed. It is very difficult to find a healthcare professional who is so loving and passionate about what they do. in addition to exuding knowledge of the area.

I was ready to stop breastfeeding multiple times due to infections and trouble getting my milk supply going. I am so grateful to Hali! She provided the support and guidance I needed to keep going. Now I’m successfully pumping and breastfeeding. And I even have a but if an over supply so I’m slowly building up a frozen stash of breast milk to thaw out and feed to my baby later.
