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!

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 at their most exhausted, most defeated, most alone. Women who had done everything right. Who had read the books, bought the products, followed the advice.

And were still struggling in silence.

Because no one had looked at the whole picture.

Feeding struggles don't exist in isolation. Neither does sleep deprivation, hormone depletion, nervous system overload, or the quiet grief of not feeling like yourself. These are interconnected. They are one story.

And that story deserves coordinated, physiology-first care not scattered appointments and conflicting advice.

I built Mother Poppins because every new mom deserves someone in her corner who sees all of them. Not just the latch. Not just her baby's sleep. Her.

Why Integrated Care?

You've Googled everything. You've tried everything. And you're still not okay.

That's not a failure. That's a sign that fragmented care, one specialist for feeding, another for sleep, another for your body, isn't enough for what you're going through.

Your feeding struggles are connected to your sleep deprivation. Your sleep deprivation 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. Integrated care creates stability.

Mother Poppins delivers clinical lactation expertise woven together with functional nutrition, nervous system regulation, sleep strategy, and postpartum recovery so your support works as one cohesive system, not scattered advice.

Let's connect

The Mother Poppins Approach

We don't treat symptoms. We treat you! The whole, exhausted, incredible parent behind the baby.

Every visit, every recommendation, every plan is built around one truth: your feeding, your sleep, your hormones, your nervous system, and your nutrition are not separate problems. They are one story unfolding in your body and they heal best when supported together.

Stabilize‍ ‍You feel steadier. Feeding patterns calm. Your nervous system starts to settle. The chaos begins to have an edge you can hold onto.

RestoreYou start to feel like yourself again. Hormones rebalance. Energy returns. Your body begins to rebuild what pregnancy and birth asked of it.

RefineYou feel confident in your parenthood. Sustainable rhythms replace survival mode. You're not just recovering you're thriving.

This is not about bouncing back. It's about moving forward as the parent you already are.

Real outcomes from integrated postpartum care.

I recommend Hali to all of my pregnant mom friends and am so thankful for her expertise.

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.
Hali is an absolute pro.

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.
With the information she shared, she made me feel more at ease about breastfeeding.

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.
The advice was a lifesaver.

Every suggestion nurse Hali had was on point. She was like an angel.
Hali made me feel so much better about my breastfeeding journey than any of the LCs I met within the hospital. Highly recommend!

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.

Hali is an amazing listener!

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.
Hali helped me each step of my pregnancy journey (pre and postpartum) and taught me SO much!

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 thank you so much for everything!

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.
She provided the support and guidance I needed to keep going.

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.
