Safiya Hafizi is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). She has extensive experience as a postpartum and newborn nurse, where she found her passion for helping mothers and babies in the most beautiful and natural bonding process of breastfeeding.

Her lactation experience was further enhanced when she moved to India for 1 year and volunteered with a breastfeeding support group called Breastfeeding Promotion Network of India (BPNI). The experience of working with indigent mothers, learning from their helplessness and passion to make breastfeeding work, augmented her counseling skills in complicated breastfeeding issues. Since then her passion to learn, teach, and spread awareness grew.

To further grow professionally and personally in the field of lactation and nursing, she earned a master’s degree as a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C). Her experience is enhanced from having worked in a variety of different settings including clinics, hospitals, office, and home visits. Breastfeeding is innate, but various risk factors can hinder this process.

Simply Lactation strives in recognizing those risk factors and works towards helping a mother achieve her breastfeeding goals. We at Simply Lactation are one close knit family in providing constant support and help for all our moms and babies by creating an interactive community.
