Intro: Lori J. Isenstadt is a lactation expert and an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). She lives in Arizona currently and works globally via Skype on client consults and through her breastfeeding course.

She is passionate about helping moms and families recognize the importance of what they are accomplishing through the "fourth trimester". While her work focuses on moms and "the girls", her mission is making a difference by empowering those moms to live their mission fully in this world.
