Breastfeeding Award of Excellence

Lynnelle King, IBCLC, Doula

Lynnelle King has served as the ldaho Breastfeeding Coalition (IBC) Chair since 2019. Lynnelle is the owner of Family Seasons where she specializes in Advanced Lactation, Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy and Positive Discipline. As an IBCLC, she offers a cozy private practice experience in her office or in the comfort of your own home via visits delivered by TeleheaHealth.

 

Lynnelle said this of breastfeeding her own children  “No matter how much I thought I knew, I learned something new about breastfeeding with every baby.  After every birth, giving each infant the space to 'Figure it out with me' was crucial and each baby had a different issue that needed attention, correction or nurture. From blisters, sleepy babies, twins, cleft lip, low birth weight, tandem nursing, lots of tears and blissful moments, breastfeeding 8 children held a huge piece of my Iife in its season'  

 

Her experience and Formal education in the field of Lactation began as a La Leche League member and La Leche League Leader in Corvallis, Or, and then Meridian and Boise, ID.  

 

Lynnelle has supported hundreds of families in their breastfeeding journey. She has been creative in the approach by opening up her time and schedule for Momma Circles. This support group is free to any and all participants, paid directly from Lynnelle's own pocket. This service has helped numerous moms process their transition into motherhood or into life with multiples. When it comes to leadership, for one, she IS the head of IBC. Secondly, she has brought on 2 more IBCLC's into her private practice and helped them transition into unique personalized care for each family. As well as allowing 2-3 more students who are going  for their IBCLC and mentoring them on how to get there and allowing shadow hours (and more hours!) She is kind and gentle, but a fiery soul who wants to help anyone in need. Such a STRONG woman!

 

Testimonial from Facebook Family Seasons  

Lynnelle and the team at Family Seasons saved my breastfeeding relationship with my second child. We were dealing with weight gain and milk pulling issues and now baby is thriving and we are exclusively breastfeeding.  And other guidance is the only reason we succeeded When you walk into Family Seasons, you instantly feel at peace, safe, and seen. I saw many lactation consultants for similar issues with my first child and  I  was not given nearly the amount of support and such a clear plan like I experienced with Lynelle. She is the real deal and I can honestly say I don't know what I would have done without her. This is who you need to see if breastfeeding is non negotiable for you like it was for me.  Dr chelsietodd instagram

 

Finding a Safe Haven with Lynnelle and Family Seasons

It's time to shine the spotlight on a remarkable individual Lynnelle Kina@mavenmomma. As the founder of Family Seasons, Lynnelle has created more than just a practice. She has birthed a sanctuary, an aura of warmth, understanding and support that envelops every mother and child who walks through their doors. It's not merely about clinical expertise, but about creating a community where mothers uplift and fortify one another. 

 

Our experiences with Lynnelle haven't been confined to just lactation support. We've been fortunate to explore the profound benefits of Craniosacral Therapy CST for Wilder under her guidance. For those  unfamiliar, CST is a gentle hands-on method of evaluating the functioning of the craniosacral system.  

 

To Lynnelle and her vision: Thank you for creating a haven where mothers and babies can grow, thrive and support one another. In the vast sea of motherhood Family Seasons stands as a lighthouse, guiding us all safely to the shores of understanding and love.
