Patricia Berg-Drazin, RLC, IBCLC, CST

Like many other women, Patricia Berg-Drazin’s attention focused on breastfeeding after the birth of her first child in 1982. Her interest in the subject of lactation generally developed from there, and she eventually became a member, then a Leader, in La Leche League. During her activities as a Leader, she repeatedly encountered mothers who lacked accurate information and the support they needed to make informed decisions about breastfeeding.

These experiences motivated Patricia to delve even deeper, and in 1990 she became a board-certified lactation consultant. In this role she acts as a liaison between families and healthcare professionals and shares research-based information to help women with breastfeeding concerns.

Her interest in learning additional skills led Patricia to the study of CranioSacral Therapy (CST), an alternative medical procedure, and in 1997 she attended her first workshop by the Upledger Institute. She has continued to study CranioSacral Therapy and lymphatic drainage. She became a teaching assistant in 2008 and a certified CranioSacral Therapist in 2010. Patricia practices CST on infants to help them transition and overcome the stresses that delivery can put on their systems.

In 1989 she started her own consulting business, Breastfeeding and Parenting Solutions.

Ms. Berg-Drazin has published articles in the Journal of Human Lactation and Birth Issues; she has reviewed books for the Journal of Human Lactation since 1991.

Patricia has been an enthusiastic photographer since college, specializing in nature photography, and has exhibited frequently. Her other interests include theatre, music and scuba diving.
