My Story

My name is Michal (Olga) Vinnik. I am an experienced Registered Nurse and a Lactation Consultant (RN, BSN, IBCLC), and have been in the field of nursing for over 20 years. In the beginning of my career I gained experience in the Neonatal ICU and delivery room. In 2001, after moving to Boston, I began working at the Cambridge Hospital's maternity units, helping mothers bond with their babies and achieve their lactation goals.

In 2015, after being certified as a Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I took a position at the Boston Medical Center, where I helped develop the NICU lactation program, working with all types of babies and the most complicated cases. During my time at the Boston Medical Center, I participated in state-wide program to increase the use of human milk in all Massachusetts hospitals.

In 2016, I moved to Passaic, NJ, and became a lactation consultant for Englewood Hospital and also opened a private practice, and now serving, helping, and educating the mothers of North Jersey and beyond.

My philosophy is listening to the mother and understanding ways to help in the best way, using combination of my experience, evidence-based practices, and a warm human touch.

​Olga is incredible! In just 2 sessions within 3 days, Olga guided me and my second born to a successful nursing experience. She also zoomed with me late one evening when I was very frustrated. Olga immediately identified the issue, told us how to fix it and taught us how to connect all the dots. She is an excellent teacher and provides great support. If you are determined to ... More

​Writing this on behalf of my wife. We saw Olga 2 weeks after giving birth to our son. To that point, breastfeeding had been difficult, especially given that my wife had spent the first week being monitored for preeclampsia. Olga was extremely understanding, and showed us the best methods for latching, which worked. She put ZERO pressure on us to continue with breastfeeding  ... More

I had just found out my baby had lost too much weight since leaving the hospital and I was a mess. Within minutes of arriving she had baby latching. She was so patient, kind and informative. She even set-up and  ... More
