I’m Sarah, perinatal nurse, IBCLC, and most importantly a wife and mom of three. At Heart & Honey Lactation Services, my focus is on providing holistic and evidence-based lactation support to families. As a registered nurse and IBCLC, I bring a unique perspective to the field. Having struggled with breastfeeding myself and finding the support of an IBCLC to be life-changing, I'm passionate about providing that same level of support to other families. I take a personalized approach to each case, ensuring every family has a customized plan that works for their unique situation. I strive to empower and educate families, providing them with the tools for a successful and enjoyable breastfeeding experience. From prenatal planning to postpartum support, I’m here for you every step of the way.

Hello! I am Merilee Rockefeller-Kolpaczyk, founder of Breastfeeding Support and More with Miss Merilee. I am a Registered Nurse (RN), an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE) with 34 years of past experience working and teaching at the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. I loved being a Labor and Delivery & Postpartum Nurse, Lactation Consultant, and Instructor and am excited to now be bringing this knowledge out into our community. It is my personal mission to provide equitable, inclusive, respectful, evidenced based care and educational services to everyone in our community.
Prenatally, I offer In Person Small Group Lamaze Based Childbirth Classes and In Person Small Group Breastfeeding Classes for you and your support person. I am excited to be offering in person classes to our local community once again after the pandemic hiatus. These evidenced based, inclusive classes are a great way not only to learn and prepare for your childbirth and breastfeeding journeys, but also to begin building relationships with other new parents.
Postpartum, I offer In Home Private Lactation Consultations, which is where I come to your home and help you navigate any breastfeeding challenges that you may be dealing with. Each Breastfeeding journey is unique to the mom and that baby. If you feel the breastfeeding is not going well, know that I am here to help. In using my decades of experience and clinical expertise as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and listening to you and your baby, together we will find a plan the best works for you both. My goal is simply to help you achieve your personal breastfeeding goals. I encourage you to call right away if you have any concerns with how your breastfeeding journey is going.
