A Safe Space for Your Lactation and Nutritional Needs

Welcome to The Elist Method.

With over 15 years of experience and more than two decades of education, I am committed to offering compassionate evidence-based lactation and nutritional care, tailored to the unique needs and goals of each individual.

It is my mission to promote successful breastfeeding experiences and help individuals make informed decisions about their nutrition, health, and lifestyle.

I created The Elist Method to provide comprehensive lactation and nutritional services in a nurturing and inclusive environment where lactating individuals and their families feel heard, understood, and supported.

From Successful Breastfeeding to Informed
Choices in Nutrition, Your Journey Starts Here.

About The Method

Having worked with new and expectant mothers for over 18 years, I witnessed many women who felt their prenatal and postpartum struggles were overlooked or downplayed, and whose breastfeeding journeys were unsuccessful due to the one-size-fits-all in-hospital lactation services. In 2020, after receiving my International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) certification, I decided to start the method based on my commitment to delivering a holistic and all-encompassing approach that takes into account the intricate relationship between nutrition and lactation. 

One of the core foundations of The Elist Method is that every body is different. By implementing an accompaniment approach, I meet the unique needs of both lactating individuals and their infants with comprehensive support throughout every phase of the lactation journey: from prenatal education to postpartum care and eventual weaning process.

“Farnaz was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm and empathetic. She was very patient in addressing my worries and questions. Her ongoing encouragement and reassurance led me to breastfeed for a year!”

“We began our breastfeeding journey with Farnaz, who was such an amazing support all throughout. So when it came time to consider weaning, she was there to guide us through. It was definitely a bittersweet transition, but Farnaz made sure it was a positive and smooth experience for me and my little boy.”

Orly C.

“I can’t express how grateful I am for the prenatal lactation consultation I had with Farnaz. Not only did it prepare me for breastfeeding but she also provided the confidence in me as an expectant mother. She didn’t just provide generic advice but took the time to cater to my unique circumstances, which made me feel seen and heard. I highly recommend her services!”
