Rosemary Ragusa
IBCLC
“It meant the world to have Rosemary in my corner as a new mom. She helped me through so many feeding highs and lows with deep knowledge, kindness, and humor. Breastfeeding went from a painful, tough practice to a joyful bonding experience that I was able to do for 19 months.”
— Sarah, mom of 1
As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and a Certified Postpartum Doula, Rosemary believes that we all deserve to have connected, balanced, and dedicated support throughout the postpartum period. She’s passionate about helping babies and their parents thrive in their postpartum and breastfeeding experience. Her deepest hope as a lactation consultant is to help families meet their feeding goals while creating a deep bond of love.
In addition to working in private practice, Rosemary works part-time at Legacy Salmon Creek as a lactation consultant. This hospital experience gives her the opportunity to regularly support babies (and their parents) with additional health challenges or stays in the NICU; this has helped deepen her knowledge to support families whatever challenges might come their way.
In her free time, Rosemary enjoys spending time with her family, gardening, traveling, cooking, reading, watching movies, singing, dancing and goofing around with her kid.
