Meet your LC
Hi, I’m Lauren — owner of Ollio Lactation. I'm a Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and mom of two little boys based in Calgary, Alberta.
With over a decade of NICU experience, I specialize in helping families meet their feeding goals in the early postpartum period. My expertise includes establishing effective and pain-free breastfeeding, supporting pumping, managing low milk supply, and caring for fragile feeders. Whether you're breastfeeding, pumping, combo feeding, or still figuring it all out — I’m here to help.
When I’m not working in the NICU or supporting families in their homes, you can find me working in the garden, decorating (and eating) sugar cookies, or on the bike trail trying to keep up with my adrenaline-seeking children.
Thank you for being here. I’m so glad you found me.
Our Story
Ollio — named after my boys, Ollie and Leo — was born from a desire to extend the care I provide families in the hospital into their home. As an RN and IBCLC, I’ve spent over a decade supporting families navigating complex feeding challenges. In the NICU, I’ve had the opportunity to work with families long-term and have seen firsthand how early access to comprehensive, skilled support can transform a family's postpartum experience.
I am deeply passionate about supporting maternal mental health through lactation. My goal is to empower you with practical, individualized solutions that leave you feeling confident in feeding and pumping — so you can find joy in this season.
Qualifications
After earning my Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from UBC, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in Calgary, where I currently practice in the NICU as a Registered Nurse. I am also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), providing support to new families both in the NICU and in the community.
My passion for supporting families with pumping has led me to pursue extensive additional training in breast pumps, pumping optimization, and flange sizing. This expertise allows me to empower families with practical, evidence-based strategies that fit their unique needs.
