Meet your guide
In 16 years of maternal and postpartum 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.
I built Mother Poppins because every mother deserves a professional who sees beyond the latch — someone who understands that postpartum recovery, infant feeding, sleep, nutrition, and nervous system health are all connected.
Lactation. Nutrition. Sleep
One story deserves
one coordinated answer.
Breastfeeding struggles, newborn sleep problems, postpartum hormone depletion, low milk supply, exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix; these aren't separate problems. They're one story.
Mother Poppins is Miami's only practice bringing clinical lactation, functional nutrition, and holistic sleep support under one roof.
Words from Our Families
"I can't recommend Hali enough… She was an absolute lifesaver throughout my breastfeeding journey."
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.
— First Time Mom, Miami Beach
You're doing everything right. So why does it still feel like this?
Because nobody has seen the whole picture. Most lactation consultants look at the latch. Most sleep consultants look at the night wakings. Most nutritionists look at the food.
Hali looks at all of it together.
Breastfeeding, sleep, hormones, nutrition, nervous system. One expert. One plan. Under one roof.
You don't need a crisis to come to us. You just need to want more than fine.
There is no "right" way to feed your baby. There is only your way.
We support every feeding journey; breast, chest, bottle, formula, combo, or still figuring it out. We welcome every family, every structure, every background, every story.
Judgment-free. Welcoming of all. This is a place for you.
