ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Sheena Tabbert and I have been a Registered Nurse in Labour and Delivery since 2010.

I absolutely love providing care for moms and babies!

Labour and Delivery is an incredible area of nursing and has allowed me to see first-hand the pressures and expectations that individuals face when the topics of birth and breastfeeding arise.

The vast amount of false information, judgmental attitudes, pressure, guilt, and online negativity surrounding infant feeding inspired me to achieve my designation as an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2019.

Strong support systems contribute to confidence and empowerment in labour, childbirth, and postpartum experiences. I want to provide new parents with factual information and skills that incorporate the realities of modern life, while also providing compassion, encouragement, and support.

I use my training, experience. and expertise to bring the best, non-judgmental, and empowering prenatal education and infant feeding support to my clients in Edmonton and surrounding areas.

One thing that sets me apart from other support providers is that I provide UNLIMITED email support after your appointment. Have you ever wished that you had a go-to infant feeding expert at your fingertips? Book with me and you instantly have one for questions or issues that come up weeks or even months after our visit.

I am here to ease stress, provide clarity, and cheer you on for the duration of your infant feeding journey!

I was born and raised in Edmonton, where I currently live with my husband, Cory, my teenage step-daughter (any and all teenager-raising advice is welcome!), and my anxiety-ridden (but extremely well-behaved) cocker spaniel, Bailey.

In my free time, I enjoy walking in Edmonton’s beautiful river valley, cooking, reading, and listening to podcasts (I love celebrity gossip and true crime but all podcast recommendations are welcome!)

I look forward to meeting your family!
