A real Breastfeeding Center

Breastfeed Atlanta is a real Breastfeeding Center: a dedicated, professionally staffed clinical space built for feeding care, with private consultation rooms and on-site equipment, not a borrowed exam room and not a spare room in someone's home. Our Sandy Springs location is 3,600 square feet devoted entirely to breastfeeding, a freestanding space focused on nothing else, which is rare for a lactation practice. It means private rooms for unhurried visits, room for prenatal and group education, a pump and supply area where you can see and try equipment, and a team that practices together under one roof. Families come to us from across north metro Atlanta because the Center is built around the work, not squeezed in beside it.

Located near the intersection of Interstate 285 and GA-400 and less than a mile from Northside Hospital Atlanta, our Glenridge Breastfeeding Center serves Sandy Springs, Atlanta, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Buckhead, Marietta, Smyrna, and Vinings. Many Northside families come to us after discharge for continued lactation support and pump rentals. The office is a calm, welcoming space designed for families to focus on what matters most: feeding your baby with confidence.

Our team brings together International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) and nurse practitioner IBCLCs, with clinical oversight from a board-certified lactation medicine physician (NABBLM-C). Whether you're navigating a difficult latch, low supply, tongue tie, mastitis, pumping challenges, or returning to work, you'll find clinical care under one roof. Unlike consultant-only practices, our nurse practitioners can evaluate, treat, prescribe when clinically appropriate, and coordinate with your pediatrician and OB.

We meet families where it works best. Most are seen at the Center or by telehealth with our same clinical team, and home visits can be arranged for families close by. Our group classes and Centering Motherhood visits add the peer connection that often makes the biggest difference in a feeding journey.

We're in network with most major commercial insurance plans and every Georgia Medicaid CMO, and our in-house billing team handles claims directly. Most families pay nothing out of pocket. We believe excellent lactation care should be accessible to every family, regardless of insurance type or ability to pay.

Whether this is your first visit or your fifth, we're glad you're here. Schedule a visit at our Glenridge office today, or call us at (404) 454-9715 to talk through your options.

Your Glenridge clinical team

When you visit our Glenridge office, you'll see one of our IBCLCs or nurse practitioner IBCLCs. Three of our four nurse practitioners hold both NP and IBCLC credentials.

• Christie Coursey, IBCLC: Founder and Executive Director
• Maureen E. Starnes, CPNP: Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner
• Daniela Hazelwood, NP-C, IBCLC: Nurse Practitioner and Lactation Consultant
• Stephanie Vandellen, FNP, IBCLC: Family Nurse Practitioner and Lactation Consultant
• Elizabeth Myler, APN, PMH-C, IBCLC: Advanced Practice Nurse, Perinatal Mental Health Certified, Lactation Consultant

Our clinical operations are overseen by two Medical Directors. Dr. Hiral Lavania, MD, IBCLC, NABBLM-C, is a board-certified pediatrician and one of only three physicians in Georgia who hold NABBLM certification in Breastfeeding and Lactation Medicine. Dr. Karla L. Booker, MD, is a board-certified OB/GYN. Both serve as Medical Directors, providing clinical oversight and case consultation; neither provides direct patient care at Breastfeed Atlanta. Their oversight ensures our team meets evidence-based standards.
