Brandy Walters, BBA, IBCLC, RLC
Owner
Based out of Birmingham/Troy & Rochester Hills
I have been an IBCLC for over 13 years and have recertified twice in that time. I began my breastfeeding journey with my first son 21 years ago through La Leche League in Virginia. I went to a meeting every month and my goal each month was to nurse long enough to get to the next meeting the next month. La Leche League (LLL) taught me how to mother through breastfeeding. I became a volunteer with LLL through accreditation as a Leader. I continued on my path with my next two sons and enjoyed giving mothers the support I desperately needed with each of my sons.
I began In Home Lactation Specialists in Fredericksburg, Virginia and found the need for home care was dire in Southeast Metro Detroit when we moved (back home for me!) in 2010. My family resides in Troy and we enjoy the surrounding areas of Birmingham, Berkley and Clawson. I value the team of IBCLCs I work alongside. We all have hours of continuing education and counseling experience. The team offers superb support for all families and their lifestyles. We have worked with challenging cases and supported our clients through all paths of their breastfeeding journeys.

Margery A Williams, RNC-OB, BSN, IBCLC
Based out of Highland/White Lake & Pontiac
I began my nursing career as a postpartum nurse in 2007. As my knowledge expanded into lactation, I decided to deepen my practice by working in labor and delivery where I experienced how important birth is to the breastfeeding relationship. In 2016, I received my IBCLC and am recertifying this year. I have worked in the NICU with both term and preterm babies for over 7 years. Being a part of such an important transition in a family's life is an honor. It is my passion to help families achieve their breastfeeding goals and am excited about expanding that support into a home setting.
I have three children who I breastfed through poor weight gain, painful bleeding nipples, engorgement, vasospasm and dairy allergies. They are now all active teenagers who are thriving in this wonderful world we live in.

Administrative Assistant Dorothy Burton
I have been helping & supporting breastfeeding mothers for more than 14 years. After having my daughter, I attended my local La Leche League meeting and met Brandy while she was still living in Fredericksburg, Virginia. With her guidance and encouragement, I became an accredited LLL leader in 2007 and have been leading our local group ever since. I overcame many breastfeeding issues, including engorgement, overactive let-down, flat nipples, and dairy allergies, and went on to nurse my daughter for 2+ years.
I love exercising, cooking healthy food for my family of three, home-educating my daughter, and playing bass guitar in a band with my husband.
I also love helping mamas and am happy to be able to assist the team in doing their good work.

My journey with breastfeeding began after the birth of my daughter in 2016. I am lucky enough to have Brandy as my sister-in-law so we were fortunate to get off to a great start with nursing. I successfully breastfed my daughter for 18 months. When my son was born in 2019 he had a tongue tie and lip tie revised at one week old. I went on to nurse him for 22 months. With both children I dealt with oversupply, clogged ducts, and mastitis. I attended a local breastfeeding support group with both of my kids and that’s where my passion for breastfeeding blossomed.
I enjoy cooking for my family, crocheting, and quilting when I have the time. I have been married to Brandy’s brother Kyran, since August 2013. When we have free time, we love to travel to Charlevoix where my sister and her family live.
I also run the online store for my mom’s sewing business. My husband teases me that I always have my phone in my hand so this is a perfect job for me.
