Hello I’m Jen Chesna-Buckle

& here is a few things you should know about me

“Feed our babies, feed ourselves” is a great reminder that good parenting means that we need the same love, compassion and care that we give to our children daily.

Hi I’m Jen Chesna-Buckle.

I am a International Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Certified Blactation Educator Accomplish (CBEA), Certified Lactation Educator Councellor (CLEC), Certified Breastfeeding Specalist (CBS) who specialises as a vegan chef. I hold weekly family parenting groups, make delicious and nutritious foods for postpartum clients and run around town doing home visits for those families wanting some extra love and lactation support. When not on the job you can find me at my desk writing training programs for Doulas and Healthcare Providers, on my SUP at the lake, or on my bike riding trails. Originally from Toronto Canada, I spent 10 years in Vancouver BC before moving to Sydney then Per WA and finally returning home to be closer to family. My favourite activities are trail riding, kayaking and talking shop with other birth nerds and boob geeks.

In July 2020 I completed the Lactation Consultant program through the University of San Diego. I am a Certified Lactation Educator Counsellor (Uni of San Diego), Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (LER), Culinary Nutrition Expert (ACN), Vegan Chef training in 2025.

I am currently working in the Hamilton & mountain area with service coming to Toronoto,

But home is where my heart is

At the heart of my work with families is supporting parents through their breastfeeding/ chestfeeding journey. I delight in the connection between feeding our babies from our bodies and with human milk to the interplay of nutritional communication, emotional intelligence and our bond as parents that grows along side our children.

The benefits of breastfeeding are nutritional, physiological and emotional.

I believe that…

“The wisdom and compassion a woman can intuitively experience in childbirth can make her a source of healing and understanding for other women.”

—Stephen Gaskin

“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers — strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.”

—Barbara Katz Rothman
