Renee Beebe, M.Ed., IBCLC

Renee Beebe, M.Ed., IBCLC, RLC has been a private practice IBCLC since 1997. In 2013, Renee began a contractual relationship with a naturopathic family practice clinic to provide lactation services. She has been enjoying the collaboration with physicians as well as the ability to serve more families-many of whom would not have otherwise been able to access a private practice IBCLC.

She enjoys coaching other IBCLCs as well as mentoring aspiring IBCLCs. Lactation Practice is the perfect platform to do both!

Her website, www.second9months.com, includes a popular blog about breastfeeding. Renee is thankful to live in breastfeeding-friendly Seattle, close to her 2 grown daughters and her grandson.
