Meet Hali
I'm Hali Shields: International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Functional Nutritionist
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.
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. And that story deserves one coordinated answer.
I built Mother Poppins because every mother deserves an a professional who sees beyond the latch. Someone who understands that postpartum recovery, infant feeding, sleep, nutrition, and nervous system health are all connected.
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!

Postpartum Nutrition & recovery
Your hormones, gut health, and nervous system all affect how you feel — and how you feed. Hali looks at the whole picture, not just the symptoms. Because you deserve to feel like yourself again.
Infant Sleep Coaching
Your baby's sleep and your feeding relationship are more connected than you think. Gentle, biology-based guidance — no cry-it-out, ever. Better sleep for baby. Better everything for you.
Why Are You Still Not Okay? Because Nobody Has Seen The Whole Picture.
You've Googled everything. Tried everything. Seen the specialists. And you're still not okay.
That's not a failure. That's fragmented care and no one is seeing the whole picture.
Your breastfeeding 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.
And you don't need a crisis to come to us. You just need to want more than fine.
