Fort Wayne Lactation

Amy Sickels, IBCLC

Amy’s passion to be a compassionate and empowering support for women, partners, and families finds its perfect fit in perinatal care. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Amy provides personalized breastfeeding consultations and eagerly anticipates offering unwavering support and essential resources to families. Growing up in Yoder, Indiana, she has been active in the perinatal field since 2014, when she launched Fort Wayne Doulas, a postpartum doula agency. She has now expanded her services by opening Fort Wayne Lactation, a wellness-focused lactation practice. She believes that the journey is the destination in parenting, and with the right support, even the biggest hurdles can be overcome.

Izabella grew up in the greater Indianapolis area and moved to Fort Wayne in 2023. She aims to assist families with lactation support and care throughout their entire lactation journey.
