Morgan Tempel, RN, BSN, IBCLC, is a lactation consultant and women’s health expert at Newma in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Morgan’s personal breastfeeding experiences prompted her career change from a hospital nurse to a lactation specialist.
After graduating from the University of South Florida (USF) School of Nursing in Tampa, Morgan spent the first 10 years of her career working in the acute hospital setting, working in a step-down intensive care unit (ICU), labor and delivery, and postpartum nursing care.
Morgan changed the course of her career after having her first two children. She became a certified lactation counselor (CLC), providing in-hospital lactation care for new moms and teaching breastfeeding classes.
With her experience and additional coursework, Morgan became an international board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC). She then left the hospital setting to work one-on-one with new mothers, helping them with their breastfeeding needs at every step.
Morgan is currently enrolled in a dual master's program at Grand Canyon University. She is currently obtaining her Master’s in Nursing (MSN) as well as her Master’s of Business Administration (MBA).
At Newma, Morgan wants to provide mothers with the breastfeeding assistance they need before and after the delivery of the baby and throughout their entire breastfeeding journey.
“Newma and their IBCLC team is amazing!!! They have helped and educated me so much, and just in a week I have had improvement with my milk supply.
The entire staff is kind and friendly, so much so that I am going to be using them for my pediatric care as well. ”
