Brandy Walters, BBA, IBCLC, RLC

Owner
Based out of Birmingham/Troy

I have been an IBCLC for over 18 years and have recertified three times. My breastfeeding journey began with my first son 26 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. As an accredited LLL Leader, I supported mothers while nursing my next two sons.

In Home Lactation Specialists began in Fredericksburg, Virginia and continued when we moved to Southeast Metro Detroit which was back home for me.  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 support our clients through all paths of their breastfeeding journeys.

Adrian Sarkozy, IBCLC
Based out of Milford

I live in downtown Milford with my 5 children ages 5-15. I enjoy long distance running, think long and then run longer. Milford has been my home since 2010 and I absolutely adore everything about it. 

I have been serving as an IBCLC since 2017. Brandy Walters was my IBCLC with my first homebirth with my son in 2011, which set me on the path towards becoming certifying as an IBCLC. Currently I am in school finishing up my accreditation to become a secondary education teacher in History & English. Professionally I love continuing education and learning the new things and techniques related to lactation. In 2022 I took the IBCLC masterclass and use many of these techniques in the way I practice. I am a firm believer in helping families meet their unique goals and that we don’t quit on our worst day. 

Chelsea Hartinger, IBCLC
Based out of Shelby Township

I have been working in pediatric settings for over a decade and am excited to continue my clinical expertise as an IBCLC. Through my experience working with families as a pediatric chiropractor I bring a unique blend of perspectives in musculoskeletal health and lactation care. After struggling with breastfeeding myself, I felt empowered to help more moms and improve accessibility to quality care. I am excited to work alongside a wonderful team to offer guidance and provide personalized solutions that help families achieve their goals. With a holistic approach I aim to provide evidence-based, compassionate care to parents and infants, ensuring that all families have the tools, knowledge, and confidence to thrive.

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 proudly breastfed my daughter for 18 months. When my son was born in 2019, he had a tongue and lip tie revised at one week postpartum and we nursed for 22 months. With both children I dealt with oversupply, clogged ducts, and mastitis. Thankfully, I attended a local breastfeeding support group with both of my kids and that’s where my passion for breastfeeding blossomed.
In my spare time you will find me with a crochet hook in hand. My crochet business allows me creativity and flexibility while mothering my two kiddos.
