Elysse Schmidt PT, DPT, CLC
I began my career as a doctor of physical therapy in the Vail Valley, treating patients of all ages with all types of needs in musculoskeletal and neurological realms. I always strived to be a clinician that could make a difference for any person that walked in the clinic doors. After having my first child, I struggled mentally and physically with breastfeeding, and couldn't quite find the support I yearned for in the valley. I decided to take things into my own hands by studying lactation, and earning my certification in lactation counseling.​
Now I hope to be that support that babies and families can depend on.
​
My background in physical therapy allows me to treat mom and baby with the knowledge of anatomy, physiology, psychology, body movement and human development. I take all this into consideration when developing a treatment plan for lactation and feeding.​
​
I know firsthand that feeding babies doesn't always come easy, and I'm here to support families in meeting their goals - whether you want to exclusively breastfeed, pump, or combo feed with formula. I promise to step into your home without judgement.
