My name is Pam Mallory. I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), pediatric nurse, and postpartum doula. My most important job includes raising two grown children and being a grandmother to six beautiful grandchildren.

I have over 40 years of experience in the pediatric world. I spent several years working in the mother-baby unit, performing newborn checks with Thrive-in-home care and as a private duty night nurse over overnight newborn care.

My love for lactation consulting grew from educating and nurturing many new mothers through the fourth trimester of pregnancy. The time after birth to three months of age, also known as the “4th trimester”, is the most crucial for mom and baby. This time includes the parent(s) and newborn adjusting to the world outside of the womb to what is now becoming a family. Luckily, Mother Nature has given us all of the tools needed to aid us in this lactation journey.

I look forward to helping your family get to the right start on this lactation and feeding journey.

My name is Tracie Abrams.  I am a registered nurse and lactation consultant.  I graduated with a nursing degree in 2001 from Radford University.  I have always had a passion for pediatrics and my career started in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.  During that time, I started a family of my own.  My very own experience turned my focus and attention to women’s health and lactation, and I have been working with women and infants ever since. 

My four children, over the span of twelve years, were breast-fed, bottle-fed, formula-fed and received milk from other mothers. These experiences were varied and diverse.  It was such a testament to me that every parent and child has their own story to tell. I feel privileged to be a part of these stories and help families reach and work towards their feeding goals.  My focus is helping a mom and baby receive the experience that suits and works for them, while making sure each is as healthy and happy as can be.

Feeding assessments, the early days and weeks are so important.  Milk coming in and a baby suckling are not the only factors contributing to the success of breastfeeding.  It is how those two things come together.  At PAHP, we offer 60-minute visits where I can observe how your infant is feeding and how your body is making milk.  This is the only way to provide a feeding plan and path towards your feeding goal.  I vow to offer varied solutions meeting both you and your baby’s abilities. I understand the pressure a parent feels when they are starting this new skill.  I want to love and support you at this stage and I am honored to be a part of it.
