Speaker: Candace St. John, MPH, CLC
Candace is a public health professional (MPH), pediatric sleep specialist, and Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC, #34044) — but most importantly, a mom of one weanling! She holds a Master of Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health & worked as an Epidemiologist for five and a half years in a rural hospital setting. After becoming a mom (and having the most tumultuous start to breastfeeding her baby), she realized that there are many gaps in parenting education and practice. Now, Candace provides evidence-informed guidance and support to parents in order to feel confident at the end of their breastfeeding journey!
