Liz Homans, IBCLC
Liz graduated from Denison University with a bachelor’s degree in Art & History and began her early career in advertising. After welcoming her first baby in 2015, she struggled with feeding and realized how overwhelming and isolating the early postpartum period can be with lack of good support. With her second daughter, Liz experienced firsthand how much of a difference the right support can make when she started attending local infant feeding meetings, and joined a thriving La Leche League chapter. The supportive community groups that she found completely changed her mothering and feeding journey and inspired her to pursue a new career in lactation support.
Liz made the switch from working in advertising to becoming a La Leche League Leader in 2020, returned to school to study Health Sciences in 2021, and earned her lactation clinical hours working with families with WIC. She became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2023 and has since transitioned from working in Public Health to providing lactation care through home visits and virtual consultations, working with families from the prenatal period through weaning.
Liz is excited to join the Confident Latch team and is passionate about helping moms feel supported, confident, and empowered to reach their individual feeding goals.
Outside of work, Liz enjoys traveling, hiking, and spending time with her family, husband and daughters and dogs.
