About Tracey Support Options

Tracey Kahelin, RN

Certified Lactation Consultant

Hi, I’m Tracey Kahelin, BSN, IBCLC, and the founder of West Side Lactation in Avon Lake, Ohio. I’ve been a registered nurse for over 14 years, with extensive experience in labor & delivery, postpartum care, and the special care nursery. For the past 6 years, I’ve been honored to support families as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), helping parents navigate the joys and challenges of breastfeeding.

At West Side Lactation, I offer compassionate, personalized care tailored to your unique journey. I also teach perinatal education classes, including “Understanding Breastfeeding” and Child & Infant CPR, to help families feel confident and empowered from pregnancy through early parenthood.

My passion for lactation support comes from my own experience—after facing breastfeeding challenges with my two children (now 14 and 10 years old), I became dedicated to helping others feel seen, supported, and successful in their feeding goals.

Whether you’re preparing to breastfeed, need support with a newborn, or just want guidance along the way, I’m here to help.
