Meet the Team!
Abigail Eisley RN, BSN, IBCLC
Lactation Support
Abbi founded Wild Fig Lactation to provide holistic lactation support to Baltimore families. She’s been a Registered Nurse for eleven years, and an IBCLC for eight. She lives in Baltimore City with her photographer husband and 4 year old daughter.
Her favorite Baltimore meals are the Ekiben tofu brah bowl with tempura broccoli, and Comptoir COVID lockdown sandwiches…iykyk!
Her breastfeeding story started with some unexpected challenges - tongue and lip ties, low-milk supply, ineffective latch, and postpartum anxiety. These experiences encouraged her to start a private practice where families can find practical ways to navigate similar issues.
Kate McGivern RN, BSN, IBCLC
Lactation Support
Kate lives in Baltimore County with her husband and three boys. She’s been an IBCLC for 9 years after working as a Labor & Delivery nurse for 16 years!
Most of her time outside of work is spent driving her boys to and from sports events. She loves trying new restaurants, traveling, and reading new books.
She navigated low supply, oral ties, and slow weight gain among other things during her three unique breastfeeding journeys. She loves holding babies, so feel free to take a break and use the bathroom while she’s there!
Annie Cantrell, RN, BSN, IBCLC
Admin Support
Annie provides admin support to keep everything running smoothly! She is an experienced RN and IBCLC having worked on an L&D unit and in a birth center.
She has two boys and is actively nursing her second probably right at this moment! She has had her fair share of inflamed ducts and feelings of overwhelm as a new mom, but loves the bond she has with her kids.
She loves to camp, hike, nurse in nature, and sew her own clothes!
