About Me
My passion for supporting mothers began in 2012 when our first child was born. I was suddenly the only person that could soothe this tiny human, and even though my partner was ever present he was just as clueless as I was!
I found a motherhood support group and found so much comfort and reassurance speaking with people who shared my worries, frustrations, and triumphs. Over the next two years I grew into my role of wife, mother, and nurse; but something was missing.
I decided that I was going to be the support to others that was so beneficial to me in that first uncertain year of motherhood. I returned to college and completed my perinatal certificate, graduating with honors. I began working on the mother baby unit at Guelph General Hospital in 2014.
In the fall of 2015 we welcomed our second child and my love of supporting mothers grew. I returned to school to complete the lactation consultant program. I successfully wrote my exam with the International Lactation Consultant Association and achieved the title International Board Certified Lactation Consultant in the spring of 2017 and Lindsay Pravato, IBCLC was born!
I have been helping parents achieve their feeding goals in the comfort of their own homes ever since.
