Zoe Ruaboro, IBCLC
Zoe (she/her) is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and mother of two, with an Associate’s Degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences. For the past four years, she has supported families in her community with compassionate, evidence-based lactation care. Zoe works with families facing concerns such as tongue ties, milk supply issues, pumping and bottle feeding challenges, nipple pain, breast health concerns, slow weight gain, and other related issues.
Zoe’s passion for lactation care began with her own breastfeeding journey. While nursing her children, she has experienced firsthand many of the challenges families face, including nipple pain, tethered oral tissues, pumping difficulties, milk supply concerns, and even a NICU stay with a premature infant. She understands how overwhelming these experiences can feel. These challenges have fueled Zoe’s commitment to helping families achieve a positive, informed, and well-supported feeding experience with their little ones.
In addition to lactation care, Zoe has experience providing birth and postpartum support within the community. She enjoys working with people and values holistic, empathetic, and non-judgmental care that honors each family’s unique goals.
About Zoe

Zoe’s clients say:
“Zoe provides warm and compassionate support, highly skilled guidance, evidence based and personalized solutions that help families work through breastfeeding and newborn challenges.”
We are incredibly grateful for Zoe and the support she provided during one of the most challenging times in our journey as new parents. At our baby girl's 2-month checkup, we learned that she had fallen to the 2nd percentile for weight, and we were devastated and overwhelmed trying to figure out what was wrong.
Zoe stepped in with compassion, expertise, and unwavering support. She carefully assessed our daughter's feeding and identified that she was not feeding efficiently. Zoe guided us through the demanding process of triple feeding, helped us improve our baby's latch, and continued to troubleshoot every step of the way. Through her thorough evaluation and recommendations, we discovered that our daughter had lip, cheek, and tongue ties that ultimately required a triple frenectomy.
Throughout the entire process, Zoe was our advocate, educator, and biggest source of encouragement. Thanks to her knowledge and guidance, our baby's latch improved, her feeding became more effective, her weight gain got back on track, and we were able to achieve our goal of exclusively breastfeeding.
Today, our daughter is thriving and has gone from the 2nd percentile at 2 months to the 80th percentile at 6 months. We truly could not have done it without Zoe. Her expertise changed the course of our breastfeeding journey, and we will always be grateful for the care, dedication, and confidence she gave our family during such a difficult time.
If you're looking for an IBCLC who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and deeply invested in the success of the families she works with, we cannot recommend Zoe highly enough!
