My Story
Lifespring Lactation Counseling was founded in 2022 in Alexandria, MN. It is my deep desire to care for parents/caretakers and babies, not only in their breastfeeding needs, but also in the transition of adding a baby to your life. As a lactation counselor, postpartum doula and craniosacral & myofascial release therapist, I focus on making sure parents and caretakers feel cared for, supported and empowered in their feeding choices, the health of their babies and themselves.
Hi! I’m Joanna Green, Certified Lactation Counselor, postpartum doula and Craniosacral & Myofascial Release Therapist. I know the transition of adding a baby can be quite the adjustment, whether it’s your first or you’ve done this a few times already. If you’re struggling with that transition, especially with feeding your baby, I want you to know that you aren’t alone. I breastfed my two sons with varying levels of frustration, pain, happiness and joy — sometimes all at once! In 2021, after casually giving friends advice on breastfeeding, I realized that I had a real passion for helping others in this way, so I completed the Certified Lactation Counselor course through the Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice. Through my pregnancies, I found Craniosacral & Myofascial Release Therapy to ease some of the discomfort I had and in 2023, decided to add this service to my practice as well. Along with having my Bachelor of Arts degree from Concordia College in Moorhead, I also have various experience working in medical offices such as eye clinics, physical therapy clinics and as a certified personal trainer. I truly value you being your best advocate and making choices that are right for you and your baby. I’d be honored to help you in this phase of your life.
