Emilie C. Pozoulakis, MS, NP-C, RN, CLC

 

Emilie founded Hummingbird Health and Wellness, LLC, because she felt there was a profound gap in access to truly accessible, evidence-based and holistic lactation, breastfeeding, and postpartum care for moms. As a Nurse Practitioner, and Certified Lactation Counselor, she made it her personal mission to bridge that gap foor her surrounding community.

 

Through her own personal journey as a mother who has breastfed three kids, struggled to find lactation support, has battled mastitis, supply issues, engorgement, and more; - she understands the helplessness, desperation, and frustration that can come with the desire to breastfeed - a natural, but not always easy - process.

​

Emilie believes it is her mission to deliver personalized, comprehensive, honest, and quality care.  She believes that health and wellness are multi-dimensional, holistic, and unique to each person; and not merely the absence of disease or an algorithm to follow.

 

Emilie is board-certified through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners as an Adult-Geriatric Nurse Practitioner and is further board-certified through The Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice as a Certified Lactation Counselor.  She possesses a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Maryland, a Post-Master Certificate from the George Washington University, Washington DC, and has participated in doctoral level studies at Vanderbilt University. She has additional clinical experience in Primary Care, Oncology, Hospice & Palliative Care, Wound Care, Critical Care, and Home Care. Additionally, Emilie has advanced training in Functional Medicine, and prides herself on including an individualized approach to care. 

​

In her spare time, she enjoys gardening, homemaking, hiking, paddle boarding, kayaking, reading, and spending quality time with her kids and husband.
