Sarah Early, MSN, RN, IBCLC

Sarah created Lactation Room  because she realized there was a gap for families who needed support  after leaving the hospital or birth center. Her teaching revolves around  a holistic approach taking into consideration personal needs, physiological challenges and individual circumstances.  Sarah went back to school to get her RN while simultaneously taking care  of her  school-age children. She spent the first years of her  nursing career in the Maternal Child world and is in school again earning her Family Nurse Practitioner. Now, with three  young-adult children herself, Sarah is focused on addressing the needs  of new families in the community through breastfeeding support at her  Rockville office location. She is an active member of ILCA, USLCA, IATP and MBC.

After nearly 20 years in the classroom, Dawn decided to leave teaching  to pursue her goal of becoming a lactation consultant.

As she left the appointment, Dawn told her husband, “That woman is an  angel, and I want to be an angel one day.” In addition to their 3  daughters, the Grahams have hosted numerous international exchange  students over the years who each remain extended members of the family. Dawn tries to stay active, and in her spare time she  enjoys reading, music, cooking, and sharing a good meal.

Brittney Norris, BSN, RN, IBCLC

Misty Vass, BSN, RN, IBCLC

Misty is a Registered Nurse and IBCLC and has worked with parents and babies for over twenty years. Misty spent her first years as a Neonatal Nurse and in Labor and Delivery. Her time spent in the first part of her career acknowledged the importance of breastmilk for all newborns and brought the challenges parents can face with breastfeeding to light. After moving to Maryland from Tennessee, Misty wanted to have a flexible schedule for her children and that is when she focused on the pediatric home visit setting. Misty has two daughters who are the reason she is an IBCLC. Becoming a new mom without family support with breastfeeding, Misty learned the value of a lactation consultant beyond the hospital walls. With these experiences, she made it her passion for new moms to have access to lactation support and guidance after discharge. Her goal is to continually support new parents  in their feeding plan and to make them as successful in feeding their baby as possible.
