Biography
My name is Taryn Cortini, and I’ve been an IBCLC for three years, with a total of five years in lactation services. Most of my experience has been at the WIC office, where I served as the sole bilingual (English/Spanish) IBCLC, supporting low-income families across seven clinics. I became a lactation consultant after navigating my own journey without support, and I’m passionate about making sure families in my community have access to the care they need. In 2025, I started my own practice, and I plan to one day have my own office and baby boutique, offering affordable lactation services alongside budget-friendly baby products and items for breastfeeding moms.
