Every family deserves compassionate, skilled lactation care. At Snuggle & Suckle, I take a holistic approach, honoring all aspects of your well-being to ensure you feel supported, balanced, and at ease. I'll meet you exactly where you are, with no judgment—just clear guidance that's gently tailored to your unique needs.
By blending evidence-based practices with time-honored wisdom and a whole lot of heart, I'm here to help you trust your body (and your baby!) and find your own path forward. My hope is to empower you to make choices that feel right for your family, while giving your little one the best possible start in life.

Hello!
I'm Denise—a lactation specialist and grateful mom of two.
I know firsthand how overwhelming the postpartum period can be. The days can blur together in a haze of feedings and diaper changes. One moment, you’re filled with joy and wonder; the next, you're anxious, exhausted, and second-guessing whether you’re doing any of it "right." Your body is healing, your hormones are fluctuating, and your sleep-deprived mind is juggling a whole new world of responsibilities. And while breastfeeding is a natural process, it often doesn’t feel natural at all.
Sifting through conflicting information—especially when you're running on little sleep—can be daunting. It's hard to know what to trust. That's where I come in. I offer evidence-based guidance grounded in the latest research and break everything down into clear, practical advice that you can actually use.
More importantly, I'm here to truly listen—not just to what you say, but also to what might be left unsaid. My goal is to make sure you feel confident, supported, and genuinely seen. Whether you're navigating feeding challenges, seeking reassurance, or simply want a safe, judgment-free space to connect and learn, I’m here for you.

Services
I offer in-person consultations around southern Metro Manila, as well as virtual consultations nationwide, ensuring you have access to lactation support no matter where you are.


Postpartum Lactation Support
Our bodies are designed to nourish our babies, and while breast milk production is a natural biological process, breastfeeding itself doesn’t always come naturally. I’m here to support you during those early weeks, offering gentle guidance as you learn to feed your baby and navigate any challenges that may arise."

Continued Care
As life evolves—whether you're returning to work, transitioning to weaning, preparing to tandem-feed, or coping with perinatal loss—adjustments may be needed along the way. I’m here to provide the ongoing support you need, whether that means scheduling a follow-up home visit or arranging for regular virtual check-ins. You deserve guidance, reassurance, and care whenever you need it.
