Helping families is often a team effort with better outcomes for parents and their babies when we collaborate and coordinate their care.

It is my great pleasure to recommend Lori Cowx. I had the opportunity to work with Lori when we were both interns at Birth and Baby Needs in 2021 and 2022.

I was immediately impressed by Lori’s communication skills, knowledge base and her passion for continuing education. Her knowledge foundation is evidence-based, and she continues to seek out emerging developments in the field. Lori is a natural educator and exemplified this as she taught mothers, their support people, and her fellow interns about lactation, breastfeeding and breastfeeding support. She has a strong ability to express information in an accessible and meaningful manner. Expectant parents find Lori’s prenatal classes engaging, informative, relevant and complete. I found Lori to be a reliable, dedicated and helpful co-worker.

Lori is passionate about breastfeeding and its value for babies, mothers, families and society.

It is my pleasure to recommend Lori Cowx. I am a Chiropractor and current Lactation intern. I met Lori while working in the clinic with our mentor. Lori and I interned together for the last year learning how to support breastfeeding dyads in our community. Our team of interns came from multiple health and wellness backgrounds, creating a very unique learning environment. The way in which we were able to work as a team on each case allowed for the opportunity to get to know one another’s strengths on both a professional and personal level.

Lori’s qualifications and clinical experiences were a major addition to our team, and she brought a wealth of knowledge and ease in dealing with clients. She is very passionate about breastfeeding and her strong communication skills made it easy for families to work with her. Lori’s organizational skills and reliability are unmatched. She was always the first one in the clinic and was able to keep the flow of the day going smoothly. Her pace and efficiency helped her in multitasking to work with multiple families at a time if needed, while still upholding her standard of care. She also had excellent charting skills and passed on some methods we are all still carrying through today.

Lori is extremely friendly and easy to get along with. She was gentle and sensitive in working with families, and showed a great intuition in what her clients needed in the moment. She was definitely someone we all looked up to during our internship together.

Sincerely,

Lauren Jenkins, DC
