About

Johanna Riley-Cusack is a dedicated Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) who became a valuable member of the team at the National Tongue Tie Centre in December 2020. Originally from Southern California, she has called Ireland home since 1992. With over 25 years of experience, Johanna is well-versed in assisting breastfeeding families and offers comprehensive support for both breast and bottle feeding.
Her educational background includes a degree in Psychology, and she initially worked as a service coordinator for children with special needs in San Diego. However, her journey into lactation consulting began when she became a mother herself. Recognising the importance of breastfeeding, she began training in this specialised area. As her daughters grew, Johanna trained as a breastfeeding counsellor and led a mothers' breastfeeding group for an impressive 12 years. In 2010, she achieved her qualification as an IBCLC and subsequently recertified in 2020.
Johanna's experience spans a wide range of areas, including private practice consultations, antenatal breastfeeding preparation, training voluntary breastfeeding support counsellors, and serving on the National Council of the Association of Lactation Consultants in Ireland. She has also been instrumental in collaborating with the HSE to establish "Ask the Expert," an online breastfeeding support platform. She has also attended and presented at conferences across the United States and Europe.
Johanna's approach to her work prioritises kindness and compassion. She is committed to providing support and accurate information to new families, helping them achieve the birthing and breastfeeding experiences they desire. Her love for her profession shines through, as she considers it an honour to interact with and assist these families during such a transformative time in their lives.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
