Veronica Rapin & Jessica Beemsterboer

IBCLC Lactation Consultants and Infant Feeding Specialists

Jessica and Veronica are both International Board Certified Lactation Consultants and have each worked with hundreds of families at The Breastfeeding Center of Ann Arbor to provide evidence-based and comprehensive services for lactation and infant feeding. They are able to help at any stage, from prenatal education, to newborn/postpartum needs, to ongoing support for the full infant feeding journey. The cornerstones of their practice are treating people with kindness and respect, really listening to them, sharing the most accurate, up-to-date research, and helping create a plan customized to a family’s goals, challenges, and needs.

Yasmin Johnston

Pediatric Sleep Consultant

Yasmin (she, her) is a mom of two boys, author, integrative feeding specialist, and a certified infant and toddler sleep consultant. She founded Mindful Sleep Consulting after experiencing extreme sleep deprivation and its challenges following the birth of her second son.  When she discovered the benefits of 1:1 sleep training and how it can support the entire family, she knew she wanted to provide this service for all other exhausted parents out there. Utilizing a supportive and holistic approach, she helps educate and guide parents through the sleep training process, while simultaneously encouraging parents to re-discover themselves and each other.
