Hilary Jacobson

Born and raised in California, Hilary Jacobson's life took a turn when she went to Switzerland to study music. Settling down in Switzerland, Hilary built her life there and raised a family while pursuing her newfound passion: women's health and breastfeeding support. Inspired by traditional healing modalities that are still practiced in Switzerland, Hilary turned her attention to world-medicine. She focused on reclaiming forgotten knowledge and know-how with an emphasis on breastfeeding, milk production, and maternal health. In 2000, she earned her certification as a Holistic Lactation Consultant in Switzerland. That same year, she co-founded the first online group for mothers with supply issues, becoming a trusted resource for mothers seeking support and guidance. Recognizing the profound impact of birth trauma and breastfeeding grief on many mothers, Hilary expanded her expertise by obtaining certification in hypnotherapy in 2013. This enabled her to offer specialized services to mothers, providing solace and guidance during difficult and life-changing times. Hilary Jacobson's contributions to breastfeeding and maternal health are encapsulated in her three remarkable books for breastfeeding mothers. These books delve into holistic knowledge that is critical for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, providing invaluable insights and practical guidance. As well, she has co-authored a fictionalized account of the suppression of women's herbal medicine. Renowned healthcare professionals highly recommend Hilary's books to mothers facing specific struggles, recognizing the practical knowledge and depth of wisdom they offer. Today, Hilary resides in Southern Oregon, where she continues to make a difference in the lives of mothers worldwide.
