Welcome to Wisco Lactation
We are a team of IBCLC Lactation Consultants.
IBCLC stands for Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant and is the highest accredited healthcare professionals specializing in lactation. An IBCLC is the gold standard when it comes to lactation care and we are so grateful to have some of the most amazing IBCLCs on our team!

Our Mission
Lactation care is a human right. At Wisco Lactation, we feel that babies deserve human milk and their parents deserve support in giving it to them. Studies show that breastfeeding outcomes are improved when the proper supports are in place.
We are deeply committed to providing inclusive and comprehensive lactation care to all families that we consult with. We provide unique, evidence-based support to families so that they may make their own informed choices in infant feeding. Our focus is to meet families where they are at and support them in a judgment free way that puts their mental health first.
Lactating parents need support and expert guidance from highly skilled providers. We are always learning and growing as lactation professionals to better serve our clients.
Meet the Team
We are committed to continuing education as lactation professionals to better serve our clients. Our team has taken advanced lactation courses in oral ties and function including IBCLC Masterclass, TOTs Training and Breath Baby. We also have extended education surrounding bottle refusal, pumping, flange fitting, introducing solids, maternal mental health, reflexive latching and much more. We look forward to sharing all of this knowledge with you and your family. Here at Wisco Lactation you get strength in numbers. We work collaboratively to manage tough clinical situations. Plus it's pretty amazing to have someone to geek out with about the latest in lactation.





Molly Peterson
Owner, BS, IBCLC
Ever since I can remember, I have loved babies and now I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by them everyday! I found my passion for breastfeeding support shortly after graduating college with a degree in speech pathology. It was then that I discovered you can help feed babies for a living and I knew that's exactly what I wanted to do. I sat for my board exam in 2016 and have been working in private practice ever since. I love supporting families with infant feeding, and I'm so excited to be a part of your journey.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my amazing husband and daughter. I love being outside, attempting to bake something in the kitchen, and drinking copious amounts of coffee.

Ann Grauer
IBCLC, AdvCD(DONA), AdvPCD(DONA), LCCE, FACCE
I’ve been working with expectant and new families for more than 34 years and have spent the last 15+ years as an IBCLC.
Feeding your little one is so personal. When you have worries and concerns, you deserve care that is focused only on you and your baby. I want to understand your family and your goals so that I can best support you on your parenting journey.
From prenatal education to understanding infants and their parents, I get to use my knowledge in every visit with you. I am a birth and postpartum doula trainer, parent educator, and have a special interest in helping parents and babies learn about one another. I co-created and facilitated a new parents group for over 25 years and I am a Postpartum Support International perinatal mood disorder group facilitator.
My husband and I are the parents of two incredible adults and we get to grandparent a spirited and kind granddaughter. At home, we are at the beck and call of a sassy long-haired dachshund who allows me to knit and read, as long as he is snuggled up beside me.

Julia Shannon
OTR/L, GCFP
I have always had a passion for helping moms, babies, and families. As a Pediatric Occupational Therapist since 2005, I have enjoyed working with babies and children in a variety of settings. I found my love of movement with the Feldenkrais Method® in 2007, which is a gentle, hands-on somatic approach. Through a variety of neuromotor and manual therapy techniques, I address movement, sensory, and overall function at the core of the nervous system. My personal breastfeeding journey led me to the world of tongue ties and myofunctional therapy. I use a holistic, whole-body approach to swallowing, eating/feeding, and oral motor coordination. I am a mother of 2 sweet boys and 1 wild girl. We love traveling & exploring, trying new restaurants, sporting events, art, and music.

Ashleigh Richmond
Owner, IBCLC, CPD
I am excited and honored to assist you on your breastfeeding journey. I believe that all families, no matter how they choose to feed their babies, should be given all the information needed to make informed decisions and to be supported in those choices. It is this knowledge that gives you the power to do what is right for your own family.
​
I love helping parents through their breastfeeding journeys and empowering them along the way. You will not find any judgement for your choices with me, only love and a helping hand.
I spend my free time hanging out with my husband, two kiddos and crazy dog.

Dana Monticelli
RN, BSN, IBCLC
I started my career as a RN, with a desire for helping others. My love for women's health led me to labor/delivery and postpartum care, where I developed a passion for helping families breastfeed. My need for learning more about lactation increased when I was able to breastfeed my own child through challenges and her health issues and got to see the power of breastmilk. Each family and their experience is unique. I use evidence based research to help educate and support, to help you reach your breastfeeding goals, whatever they may be.
I spend my free time with my husband, daughter and large extended family. We enjoy camping all around Wisconsin, exploring new places, walking with our two dogs, and swimming in our pool.
