Anne Leclercq,
IBCLC, CPM, LM, MMCP
Owner & Founder
I am a certified midwife in both Europe and the US, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and a Marquette Method Certified professional (MMCP). With over 20 years of experience in holistic birth, I’ve worked in Belgium, France, and the US, including hospitals, private practice, and Birthing Center.
My husband and I moved from France to Austin, Texas, in 2012 with our two eldest children, and our youngest son was born right here in Austin. Talk about a Texan welcome!
I’m also a certified Haptotherapist, having received my certification from CIRDH in 2012. Haptonomy, widely used in Europe, helps parents-to-be function as partners in parenting before birth. I’m proud to be the only practicing Haptotherapist in the US.
Here are some of my certifications:
-
Certified Nurse Midwife ( EIULB 2000-2204 Bruxelles Belgium)
-
Pre-Postnatal Aquatic Childbirth Education (Aquarius @Ostende Belgium, 2005)
-
Haptonomy therapist Certification (CIRDH, 2012 Paris)
-
Certified Professional Midwife (NARM 2016, US)
-
International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (2023, US)
-
Marquette Method Certified Professionnal, NFP Teacher (2024, US)
-
Certified Low Milk Supply Specialized Healthcare Professional (2025, US)
My passion for motherhood and birth drives me to help others experience a calm and stress-free birth. I love being a midwife and Lactation consultant; supporting and empowering women is my true calling. I am dedicated to guiding mothers through their breastfeeding journey. Helping them overcome challenges and ensuring they have a positive and successful experience with breastfeeding is incredibly fulfilling.
Currently, I’m also focused on helping women better understand their bodies and fertility. I want the women to be empowered and be supported in their choice.
Pragati Desai,
IBCLC, RN
I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), registered nurse, and certified birth and postpartum doula. My approach to care is shaped by both comprehensive clinical training and years of hands-on experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum transition. I am deeply committed to meeting families exactly where they are and providing evidence-based, compassionate support that builds confidence, trust, and practical skills.
As a nurse and doula, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside families during some of the most meaningful and life-changing moments of their lives. I understand how vulnerable and overwhelming the early days of feeding can feel. I often remind parents that while breastfeeding is biologically normal, that doesn’t mean it always comes easily — and that no one is meant to figure it all out alone.
My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where families feel truly heard, respected, and empowered. I partner with parents to work through feeding challenges, celebrate progress, and make informed decisions that align with their goals and values.
It would be an honor to support you on your feeding journey, serving as both a knowledgeable guide and an encouraging presence as you and your baby find your rhythm together.
