Amie Volk MSN, RN, CLE
Lactation Educator & Soon-to-Be LC

My name is Amie (she/her/hers) and I have been a registered nurse for 5 years, having worked in Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, and Pediatrics. I currently work at a Pediatrician’s office seeing newborns up to teenagers. In all my time as a nurse, I have particularly enjoyed the relationships I’ve made with families and their little newborn. This led me down a windy road where I eventually discovered the amazing work that IBCLCs do. My eventual goal as an IBCLC is to educate and equip the breastfeeding parent to have a thriving breastfeeding journey. I am very excited to have Sunayana as my preceptor and work with all the amazing families at It’s More Than Milk. I look forward to meeting you!

Amie has completed her lactation specific education and clinical hours through University of California at San Diego’s Pathway 2 Program. She will sit for the IBCLC exam in Fall 2024.
