Tina Pangelinan (She/Her), IBCLC

Your family should have the support you need at such a precious moment in time. Tina recognizes that being invited into the homes of these newest arrivals is a privilege that she does not take for granted. Tina came to the Breastfeeding Center to facilitate the Families of Color Group after 10 years of working in community at the only freestanding Birth Center in DC. Working together with midwives as a part of an extraordinary care team has been integral to shaping how Tina provides support for families in the prenatal and postpartum weeks and months.

Originally from the Bay Area in California, Tina was well supported coming into childbirth and the breastfeeding of her first child. Her personal experience was empowering from the start and the work continues. Everyone benefits from the guidance of encouraging folk before and after delivery. Tina’s been supported by the wealth of collective knowledge that the Breastfeeding Center Consultants and Referral Providers bring. You are in great hands with any one of our care team, be encouraged!
