Helping Families Thrive from the Start

Thrive Lactation Center was founded by Sarah Schooler in 2020 in Estero, Florida with a simple mission: to ensure every parent has access to evidence-based, compassionate breastfeeding support. Our team of IBCLC-certified lactation consultants and registered nurses has expanded to include locations throughout Florida and Georgia. Our consultants have decades of combined experience in maternal and newborn care, including work in hospitals, NICUs, outpatient clinics, and private practice.

We know firsthand that feeding your baby can bring both joy and challenges. That’s why we’re committed to walking beside parents, offering the guidance, reassurance, and practical solutions they need to feel confident in their breastfeeding journey.
