Pregnancy, lactation support, postpartum support. Mental health. Oak Park.

---

Maziwa Tribe is the division of our practice that focuses on providing lactation support during pregnancy and postpartum. Maziwa Tribe was born in 2018 with the purpose of inspiring parents to embrace their breast / chestfeeding journey.  

We provide empowerment, education and support. At Maziwa Tribe we believe that you have the power to choose how to approach your breast / chestfeeding journey.    

Maziwa is Swahili for 'milk’ and we stand by the importance of surrounding oneself with a tribe of positive supporters. Indeed, the sky is the limit to what an empowered breast/ chestfeeding parent can achieve when combined with a tribe of supporters!    

We value… 

• The need to provide culturally responsible and assessible services.  
• Positive energy, inspiration and community; all of which are necessary tools for the journey. 
• The beauty in all familial partnerships and dynamics. 
• The integration of mental health as a component of overall wellness. 
• The normalization of breast / chestfeeding via motivation, evidence-based information and cool swag.  

We offer...

• An introductory prenatal breast / chestfeeding course to get you off to the best start.
• Solutions to address common concerns (latching, sleeping, pumping, returning to school/work, daycare, nursing in public etc.).
• Organizational management to assist companies in the creation of a breast / chestfeeding friendly environment within the workplace.
