Nicole Rende, CLC and Potty Learning Counselor

A lifelong New York resident, until 2023 when Nicole now calls Connecticut home. After earning a degree in musical theatre and teaching theatre to children, she launched a 15-year career as a full-time nanny. As the mother of two young children, Nicole recognizes the challenges that come with parenting. After her personal struggles with breastfeeding, as well as postpartum anxiety and depression, she decided that she needed to give back to others in similar situations. Nicole became a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) and a Certified Lactation Educator (CLE) so she can be on the front line, supporting new parents. Most recently, Nicole received a certification as a Gentle Potty Learning Counselor and now hosts workshops and private consults.
