Welcome to Breastfeeding with Love
where the lactation support is personalized, evidence-based and tailored to your family’s unique feeding journey.
The goal is to help you feel informed, confident, and supported, through compassionate and non-judgmental care. Whether you are facing challenges or simply seeking guidance, I am here to support you in achieving your feeding goals.
My Approach to Lactation Support
I take a holistic and individualized approach to lactation support. Feeding your baby is not only a physical process, but also an emotional and relational experience.
My consultations are designed to support both the practical and emotional aspects of feeding. I take time to listen, understand your situation, and work with you to create realistic and sustainable solutions.
Together, we develop a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle, supports your baby’s needs, and helps you feel more confident and in control of your feeding journey.
Lactation Services
I support families during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond with evidence-based breastfeeding and infant feeding care. My focus is on helping parents feel informed, confident, and supported in making feeding decisions that align with their needs and values.
I support families with breastfeeding, pumping, and infant feeding challenges — from pregnancy through weaning.
I offer an extensive breastfeeding course as a preparation for the whole breastfeeding journey. Other education sessions are available as workshops, online consultations (zoom), or in-person consultations (where available).
I offer services in English, German and my native Macedonian language.
Join My Community of Support
Becoming part of the Breastfeeding with Love community means gaining access to ongoing knowledge, support, and resources throughout your feeding journey.
I share regular educational content, polls, and informative posts on Instagram, along with newsletters and follow-up support to help you feel guided and informed along the way. My community is built on shared experiences and compassionate support, where you can connect, learn, and feel understood.
Together, we can navigate the challenges and celebrate the moments of feeding your baby, while building a space where families feel supported and empowered.

My Story
My journey in lactation education began informally after the birth of my first child in 2015, when I started exploring breastfeeding through literature, research, and the work of internationally recognized lactation consultants. This experience shaped my understanding of the importance of evidence-based breastfeeding support and education.
After moving to Germany in 2016, I continued expanding my knowledge in the field of lactation and maternal support.
After the birth of my second child in Germany, with whom I experienced greater breastfeeding challenges, I truly discovered my passion for this field. I realized that behind what often seems like simply “putting the baby to the breast and feeding” lies an entire science of lactation, maternal care, and infant development. This experience inspired me to pursue deeper and more comprehensive education and to continuously strive toward the highest standard of evidence-based lactation support.
In 2020, I founded “Breastfeeding with Love”, a project that grew into a recognized brand providing breastfeeding education, resources, workshops, collaborations with healthcare professionals, and the first breastfeeding podcast in my native Macedonian language, where evidence-based lactation care is still limited.
I later became a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS), La Leche League Leader, and, after years of continued education, clinical training, conferences, and hands-on work with families, earned my International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) certification in 2026.
Since 2020, I have been providing breastfeeding and lactation support through “Breastfeeding with Love”.
Today, I continue supporting families internationally through consultations, courses, workshops, and evidence-based educational content, combining professional knowledge with compassionate and individualized care.
I am continuously engaged in professional education to ensure up-to-date, evidence-based care.
Even though I often use the words “breastfeeding” and “mother,” I deeply respect that every family and every parenting journey is unique. My support is open to all families looking for evidence-based information, empathy, respect, and a safe space while caring for their baby — regardless of what their family looks like. Every family deserves support, dignity, and love.

World Breastfeeding Week in North Macedonia
- “Prioritize Breastfeeding – Create Sustainable Support System”, WBW 2025
- “Closing the Gap – Breastfeeding Support for all”, WBW 2024
- “Enabling Breastfeeding – Making a difference for working parents”, WBW 2023

Since 2021, I have been organizing and leading the annual World Breastfeeding Week celebration in North Macedonia — creating supportive spaces for families, raising awareness about breastfeeding, and advocating for evidence-based lactation support in a country where structured breastfeeding support has long remained extremely limited.
Over the years, the initiative has brought together families, healthcare professionals, educators, artists, and internationally recognized experts in the fields of lactation, maternal-infant health, infant oral function, sleep, and family-centered care. Guest speakers, collaborators, and contributors have included renowned professionals such as Dr. Jack Newman; Effath Yasmin; Kathryn Stagg; Stefanie Rosin; Gina Weissman; as well as respected regional professionals including Milena Kostik and Zorica Kovac, alongside many other local and international advocates dedicated to advancing breastfeeding education, awareness, and evidence-based family support.

The Story of the Logo
Behind this logo, which probably does not make much sense in English, there is a deeply emotional story.
Back in 2020, when I decided to open an Instagram page in my native Macedonian language, my goal was simple: to support families in my country with evidence-based information about breastfeeding and parenting. That was the moment my brand “Доење со љубов” (“Breastfeeding with Love”) was born. The logo itself carries that meaning. The name is written in Macedonian, and the design is a visual play of a woman’s body, where a drop of milk flows toward the mouth of a small baby — which is also shaped like a heart.
But this logo became much more than just a design.
It holds the story of becoming a parent, beginning a journey of my personal education, empathy and supporting so many families, building so many friendships… and also the pain of losing a very close friend. That is why I decided to leave it unchanged and share the story behind it here.
“Breastfeeding with love.” Forever grateful to my close friend Dushko for the Logo.
