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.

Rachel English,
IBCLC in Training
Rachel is a Clinical Intern and IBCLC candidate, currently completing the Pathway 2 Lactation Consultant program at UC San Diego. After a 30-year career in technology and customer experience leadership, including her most recent work in health tech, Rachel is returning to a long-standing passion for maternal-child health and supporting families during pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.
Earlier in her career, Rachel volunteered as a birth doula, worked as a parent educator supporting mothers of newborns with infant feeding and care, staffed a women’s community health clinic, and breastfed her own two children. She brings to lactation care the same qualities that have shaped her career: listening closely, making complex information easier to navigate, solving problems thoughtfully, and helping people feel informed, confident, and supported. She is passionate about combining evidence-based lactation care with compassionate, practical guidance that helps each family work toward the feeding goals that are right for them.
