Kristina Chamberlain, CNM, ARNP, IBCLC graduated from the University of Washington Midwifery Program in 2005. She became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant that same year. Kristina holds a license as a Certified Nurse- Midwife and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner and has focused her career on lactation and breastfeeding medicine for the last 10 years. Kristina believes that breastfeeding success is directly related to the support someone receives and she believes everyone should have access to a lactation consultant. Currently, she is the Clinical Director and Lead Faculty of the UC San Diego Extension Lactation Program. Her passion is training future IBCLCs so that this kind of support is offered to everyone who wants it. She also continues to work with breastfeeding dyads in the clinical and telehealth setting.

Kristina lives in the Seattle area with her husband and two daughters, whom she breastfeed through lots of challenges, thanks to her lactation support team!
