Centering Culture. Championing Care.
Mood Lactation Partners was created by Paisley Lucas, a mom of three who knows firsthand just how beautiful—and how hard—breastfeeding can be. After navigating her own journey and realizing how little culturally relevant support was available, Paisley decided to change that. As a lactation peer counselor and advocate, she founded Mood to make sure other parents feel seen, supported, and equipped with real tools—not judgment.
At Mood, we believe lactation care should meet families where they are: with empathy, education, and providers who understand the full picture. We’re here to create space for Black and Brown families to be heard, held, and empowered from day one.
Our Mission
To ensure every parent, especially Black and Brown families, has access to inclusive, affirming, and expert lactation care—because healthy starts begin with supported caregivers.
What We Do
Lactation Support & Education
We provide personalized, culturally-aware breastfeeding support—from one-on-one consultations to community classes—helping families feel confident and informed.
Community Events & Connection
We host inclusive spaces like Coffee + Community and The Black Birth Collection, creating opportunities for education, resource-sharing, and support among birth workers, parents, and advocates.
Advocacy for Birth Equity
We work to shift the narrative around Black and Brown maternal health through outreach, partnerships, and programs that uplift birth workers and address systemic disparities in care.
Meet Our Board
Our board members bring experience, passion, and deep-rooted community connections to guide the vision of Mood Lactation Partners.
