Meet Jenna Wolfe

Hey!  My name is Jenna Wolfe, and I know what it's like to love breastfeeding your toddler and feel completely done at the same time... and also maybe be completely ready to wean, too. 

As a mom who breastfed for years, not months, I get the guilt, the touchy-out moments, the pressure from every direction, and all of the conflicting advice and emotions. 

Now, as a Certified Lactation Counselor and Purejoy Parenting Coach, I help support parents so they can breastfeed, tandem feed, and wean on their own terms.
