Current and Upcoming Events
The Conference
Three days of lecture and practicum to elevate your practice as an IBCLC
Are you finding that there are cases in your practice where nothing seams to be quite working?
Do you have lots of "tough babies" that don't seem to respond to traditional methods of suck training?
Spend time learning with your colleagues at a weekend in a beautiful setting and high-level learning courses aimed specifically at IBCLCs. There's nothing as effective as the in-person exchange of information. The days are filled with strategies for intake, assessment, clinical photography and videography for documentation and education, nutrition, infant reflexes, identifying and understanding when and where to refer babies with structural dysfunction, and more.
​
After the course, you'll be added to our list of providers on our resource page, and given access to a closed Facebook group for sharing of resources and information long after the training has concluded.
Contact Jennifer Tow at iparentllc@aol.com or ibclcmasterclass@gmail.com with any questions about the course.

About Intuitive Parenting Network
What is IPN?
Founded in 1990 by Jennifer Tow, the mission of the IPN is to provide education, support and products that support parents in intentionally raising families in a healthy, conscious and integrative way. We believe this instills an innate wisdom in children, for whom awareness, knowledge and adept skill with these tools becomes their native language. It is our personal vision that lactation consultants in private practice may become a force for reversing the trend towards the medicalization of breastfeeding. Looking forward, we hope to have the option of providing a broader service to clients which more rightly reflect a support for primal nutrition for families both in the period before conception and the early years of life.

Her interests are focused in the areas of epigenetics and the microbiome, gut-brain health, airway function and oral functional competency, exploring the profoundly far-reaching implications of this work for breastfeeding dyads.
While residing between the USA & France, Jennifer established an international client base and now sees most of her clients on-line, specializing in collaborating with her clients in resolving complex breastfeeding issues.
