About Caroline de Ville
I'm Caroline de Ville, a doctor of general medicine, IBCLC-certified lactation consultant, and a fellow mom on your breastfeeding journey. I'm not just passionate about helping mothers breastfeed their babies, I believe every mother has the power to do so with the right support – because I did it myself!
​
As a mom of four, I understand the joys and challenges of breastfeeding firsthand. My personal experience, combined with my medical training and lactation expertise, fuels my drive to empower mothers and overcome breastfeeding hurdles. My own breastfeeding journey extended to three years with my youngest child, further solidifying my belief in its potential and benefits.
However, my journey also started with struggles. Witnessing the frustrations mothers face due to misinformation and lack of support ignited my desire to make a difference. Through extensive research and training, I discovered the importance of a holistic approach – addressing the physical, emotional, and environmental factors that influence breastfeeding success.
​
That's why I combine my lactation expertise with myofacial therapy, a gentle technique to address muscle tension and pain that can interfere with breastfeeding. Additionally, I empower mothers through prenatal and postpartum education and offer the strength of community through support groups.
​
I'm a firm believer in prevention and education. I regularly speak at conferences and workshops, write articles and blog posts, and have trained already over 3,000 healthcare professionals across the globe. Together, we're building a network of support to ensure mothers and babies receive the care they deserve. You can find more information on my Institute page (in French) - www.auseinendouceur.com
​
If you're looking for compassionate, evidence-based support on your breastfeeding journey, whether you're just starting or facing challenges, I'm here for you. Let's work together to create a healthy and fulfilling breastfeeding experience for you and your little one.
