Biography:

Renee Beebe has been working in the field of lactation since the birth of her first child in 1990--as a La Leche League Leader, postpartum doula and IBCLC. She draws from her background in education and child development every time she works with a family. Since becoming an IBCLC in 1997, Renee has supported families through home, hospital and clinic visits in the Seattle area, and telehealth consultations internationally. She has spoken for a variety of organizations and is thrilled to be working with GOLD again!

Renee has developed a special interest in tongue tie and helped develop a tongue-tie clinic. She has assisted with over 2000 frenotomies with scissor and laser release providers. She understands how confusing the issue of tongue tie can be for families, which is what lead her to write her book, Fit to be Tied.

When she's not busy with babies, Renee enjoys all that the Seattle area has to offer; including hikes, concerts, art museums and hanging with her two grown daughters, their partners and her new toddler grand baby! Travel happens whenever possible and usually includes a lactation conference and gaining a global perspective on all things breastfeeding.
