Pregnant and wondering how it's all going to go? Or deep in the newborn fog and wondering why it feels so hard?
You don't need a magic umbrella. You need someone who shows up, listens deeply, and helps you find what works for your baby, your body, and your life.
Mother Poppins brings integrative lactation, nutrition & sleep together under one roof.
Meet Hali
I'm Hali Shields IBCLC, NBC-HWC, and founder of Mother Poppins.
In 16 years of maternal health, I've sat with thousands of mothers who had done everything right and were still struggling in silence. Because no one had looked at the whole picture.
Feeding struggles, sleep deprivation, hormone depletion these aren't separate problems. They're one story. And that story deserves one coordinated answer.
I built Mother Poppins because every mom deserves someone in her corner who sees all of them.
Not just the latch. Not just the sleep.
Someone who sees Her.

I can’t recommend Hali enough…
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!

A good bag holds everything you need. So does good care.
You've Googled everything. You've tried everything. And you're still not okay.
That's not a failure. That's fragmented care — one specialist for feeding, another for sleep, another for your body. Nobody seeing the whole picture.
Your feeding struggles are connected to your sleep. Your sleep is connected to your nervous system. Your nervous system is connected to your hormones, your milk supply, your mood.
This is one story. You deserve one coordinated answer.
Fragmented care creates confusion. Integrative care creates stability.
What makes us different?
We don't treat symptoms. We care for you the whole, exhausted, incredible parent behind the baby.
Your feeding, sleep, hormones, nervous system, and nutrition are not separate problems. They are one story. And they heal best when supported together.
Stabilize -The chaos starts to have an edge you can hold onto.
Restore- You start to feel like yourself again.
Refine-You're not just recovering. You're thriving.
✦ Root causes, not just symptoms
✦ Nervous system regulation
✦ Sleep that works with your baby's biology
✦ Nutrition as medicine
✦ Lactation rooted in 16 years of expertise
This is not about bouncing back. It's about moving forward as the parent you already are.
