Amy Johnston, IBCLC

founder of Community Lactation and Parenting

Hi, I’m Amy—an IBCLC and holistic infant feeding specialist with a deep passion for helping families feel supported, informed, and empowered. Over the years, I’ve pursued advanced training in oral function, tongue tie release, gut healing, and functional nutrition so I can offer truly comprehensive care for babies with complex feeding needs.

I believe every family deserves affirming, respectful support—no pressure, no judgment—just guidance that meets you where you are. Whether you're breastfeeding, bottle feeding, combo feeding, or figuring it all out, I’m here to help you reach your goals in a way that feels right for you.

My care is centered on both the baby and the parent—individually and as a dyad. I support babies in feeding and functional healing, while also helping mothers restore their own wellness, rebuild confidence, and feel deeply seen in the process. While I’m gradually stepping back from parenting work, nurturing both sides of the feeding relationship remains at the heart of everything I do.

My philosophy is simple: feeding is more than nutrition—it’s connection, healing, and growth. I meet families with empathy and expertise, helping them move from overwhelm to clarity, and from struggle to confidence.

“Amy is absolutely amazing. She is kind, understanding, and makes you feel completely comfortable. She carefully listens to any concerns that you have. She has really helped me through a difficult breastfeeding journey. I highly recommend her.”
