Aibhne Jean Stranks B.Sc.H., IBCLC, LCCE - Founder of Sage Lactation Consultants Breastfeeding Clinic & Creator of Lighting the Way - Lactation Coaching Courses
Welcome!! My name is Aibhne, (pronounced Aev-nee) an Irish/Gaelic name meaning “Strong River”! I'm so glad you're here! I can't wait to support you on your journey to enjoy breastfeeding and building your family!
I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant, IBCLC, and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, LCCE, and I am on a mission to make clear lactation education & breastfeeding support more accessible to families who need it!
I absolutely love working with families to help them build new relationships with their babies and 'begin again' with a new outlook, fresh strategies, effective skills, helpful techniques, and creative, compassionate support. Bringing nurturing care to difficult situations is a true honour, and I am endlessly thankful to be with families during times of massive transition in their lives!
As so many unexpected changes can happen throughout pregnancy, birth, and parenting, having a caring & knowledgeable support team can make all the difference!
I provide evidence-based, unbiased, guilt-free, personalized care plans using real-life and solutions-focused approaches. I am a strong advocate for informed self-determination in pregnancy, birth, lactation & the magical transition into parenthood.
Individual care and sensitive support are absolutely essential to the safety and well-being of our children and families. I am here to be your guide, your advocate, and your empowering resource on this journey.
I look forward to building your breastfeeding confidence & self-efficacy, and guiding you forward with the joyful experience of being a parent!
"May the wisdom and strength of the river be yours!"
REVIEWS
Scroll to the side to hear from new families who have worked with your Course Instructor!
“Aibhne was amazing to work with! She made me feel at ease and was non-judgmental. She came to my home for support and was the reason I have no more pain while breastfeeding. She was so kind to check in on me frequently and provide positive reinforcement when I needed it most. Highly highly recommend! ”
Stacie, New Mom
“I highly recommend reaching out to Aibhne for help with breastfeeding! She is a very knowledgeable lactation consultant and she provides care in a compassionate and holistic way that really uplifts you and gives you confidence as a mom. During her assessment, she was quickly able to identify the issues and make helpful recommendations that really improved my little one’s breastfeeding, weight gain, and my overall experience. I learned so much from my consultation with Aibhne, and I am so very grateful for her help!”
Laura, New Mom
“Aibhne from Sage Lactation consultants was amazing. She is so professional, knowledgeable, and kind. She helped me during a very difficult time with my newborn when he wasn't latching or feeding properly. She helped to identify some of the issues we were having and offered amazing advice, including how to get a deeper latch and positioning techniques. She provided in-person appointments during covid, which was nice, as other lactation consultants I spoke with were only offering virtual service. Overall, I would definitely recommend seeing her if you are having any breastfeeding challenges or have any questions about feeding. She stands out as the best lactation consultant I have met with, by far.”
Lisa, Second time Mom
“Aibhne was absolutely wonderful. She was so calm, approachable, and reassuring. We could not have felt more supported. We would eagerly recommend her to our family and friends.”
Peter, New Dad
“Wow!!! Aibhne is an absolute miracle worker! I honestly thought feeding was just going to hurt for the first few weeks and after one appointment today I am literally pain-free feeding for the first time with my 6-day-old son. So thankful to Aibhne for taking the time to patiently answer all our questions and even helping show us how to use our sling. Can’t recommend more!!”
Victoria, New Mom
“Highly recommend! It was great to discuss prenatally to give me the confidence to feel ready for my baby.”
Victoria, New Mom
“Aibhne is fantastic and is one of the best LCs I have dealt with. She explains how to do something and why it is important. She’s extremely patient and gives great advice. She was great with the whole family, especially my baby. She helped calm my nerves and solved my issue in one day. She reassured me that it’s never too late to ask for help and receive help and make positive changes. Highly recommend!”
D.S., New Mom
“Aibhne was professional, skilled, and approachable. Her assessment was thorough and her strategies were helpful—she gave me several and demonstrated them on me too. The follow-up support was great because questions came up over the days and weeks following the visit, and I always felt like I could ask her.”
M.R., New Mom
“Aibhne was very prompt with communication and she was very responsive. She gave me the confidence to begin nursing again with a fussy baby. She is great with follow-up and had great recommendations for me.”
L.S., Second-time Mom
“Aibhne was so helpful with my breastfeeding struggles. My daughter was having trouble latching. Aibhne showed me various breastfeeding positions that helped and were more relaxing for me. Would highly recommend!”
Elise, New Mom

-
What is included in this course?
This comprehensive course includes ONE FULL YEAR of access to our video library as a companion resource throughout pregnancy, birth, newborn care, and lactation. It includes all of the topics (AND WAY MORE!) that would otherwise need to be covered in multiple lactation consultations, prenatal breastfeeding classes, pregnancy health classes, newborn care classes and parenting classes! The integrative nature of the material in this course allows you to jump to a certain topic when it is relevant to you and your family’s journey. Check our detailed course curriculum to see the full list of Chapters & topics we cover!
-
Why is this course in short lessons rather than a long class?
Learning is so much more effective when done in short sessions, with time in between to reflect, consider and INTEGRATE the new ideas and skills! This builds true self-efficacy and trust in yourself as a parent and will allow you to act intuitively and confidently in response to your baby when the time comes.
-
How can I fit this course into my already busy life?
Jumping in is fun & easy! Whether it’s welcoming the day with a video in your morning routine, watching a few interesting strategies that catch your eye on a lunch break at work, or relaxing in the evening while binging a special captivating topic, our on-demand layout makes it so easy to dive in, even if you don’t have the time!
-
How is this course different from most breastfeeding classes that I could take in one day?
We designed this course with YOU in mind! Since each of our practical lessons is only a few minutes long, they can fit into even the busiest schedules! The structure of our video course in mini-lessons makes it so flexible and approachable, regardless of the other responsibilities in your life!
-
What do mean when you say this course is “Skill-based”?
Skill-based training means that each of our lessons is focused on giving you actionable, practical, and real-life skills that parents would usually learn from a lactation consultant in response to a breastfeeding difficulty or challenge they are facing. Learning these skills BEFORE any difficulties arise can prevent so many common issues from occurring, and allow you to enjoy welcoming your baby to the world wholeheartedly because you are not distracted, worried or preoccupied.
-
How is this course preventative?
Proactively learning these crucial skills NOW in our innovative lactation coaching video course allows you to know what to expect & get ahead of any potential issues you may encounter, instead of dealing with them reactively LATER. Our coaching strategies and practical teaching methods will allow you to feel confident making decisions for your baby and family, and will save you the strain and stress of experiencing the common disruptions to the smooth recovery from pregnancy and birth, and the early enjoyment of your baby!
-
Can my partner and I enroll together?
Yes, registering in this course gives access for your individual family. Sharing the videos with a loved one, support partner, or family member is highly recommended. Watching the videos together is a wonderful way to connect, relax, and look forward to meeting your baby together. This creates an opportunity to form, discuss & communicate your intentions and goals for your breastfeeding relationship. It is super helpful to have an extra set of eyes and ears learning the important concepts, so that later on your support person can nurture, advocate, reinforce and remind you of the skills you learned when you are recovering from the birth!
-
I am pregnant and am wondering if I should sign up now or if I should register closer to my baby’s due date so I can remember everything?
This course includes so many practices and skills that will help you make the most of your pregnancy and childbirth preparation. All of the videos are short and on a specific topic, which allows you the flexibility to re-watch lessons closer to your baby’s arrival if desired, and after your baby arrives, as refreshers are needed. Each lesson name and its content are clearly defined, which makes navigating easy, whether you are viewing sequentially or trying to find information on a specific topic. Beginning as early as possible will help you to optimize your well-being while carrying your baby and integrate all of the incredible wisdom this important transformation has to offer!
-
How will this course help me prepare for becoming a parent?
Our video course will be your companion and trusted resource throughout your journey, nurturing your parental instincts and intuition as you plan for your birth and prepare for your new baby. You will learn practices for stress-relief, centering and coping techniques that will be endlessly useful and applicable to create a bridge to welcome your baby and step into yourself as a newborn parent!

She knew she wanted to breastfeed, but was feeling nervous because she had so many questions and couldn’t seem to find consistent answers!
