Lactation Program Director

Carrie Finger, BFA, IBCLC, LCCE became a lactation consultant in 1998. She is a founding member of the North Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition. She received a BFA in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute, and spent many years as an abstract painter. After she became a mother, she fell in love with breastfeeding, and became passionate about supporting, promoting, and protecting breastfeeding. She currently works for a large hospital chain, and also works for DayOne as an IBCLC. Previously, she worked for over 12 years as a lactation consultant in a busy hospital and is pleased to now be working in a learning environment where birth is honored and recognized as a normal and sacred process.

She is a wife and mother of two pre-teenagers. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, but originally from the mountains of NC. She loves to mountain bike, paint large abstract paintings, and see live music.
