Crystel's Story

Crystel Corbin, RN, IBCLC

CEO/Owner Latch

 

Psalm 139:14

"I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well."

Crystel specializes in airway-focused, gut-health–centered feeding care while honoring each family’s unique goals. Her own experiences—navigating low supply, triple feeding, SNS use, undiagnosed tongue ties, and later a successful breastfeeding journey—allow her to support families with deep empathy and understanding. Crystel has a deep passion for learning every factor that influences feeding—palate shape, tongue function, airway dynamics, infant tension patterns, CST principles, gut health, colic, hormonal contributors to milk supply, and more.

 

She is highly involved in her local community and collaborates with providers across the country to ensure she remains at the forefront of the most current research and integrative approaches in infant feeding and maternal wellness.

A nurse since 2009, Crystel became an IBCLC after years of experience in acute care, postpartum nursing, and OB/GYN settings. Crystel has been with her husband since high school, and they have been happily married for 14 years. They live in Dexter, Iowa with their two children—Jack (12) and Elizabeth “Ellie” (9). When she’s not supporting families, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and children, making sourdough, and creating herbal apothecary items.

Crystel knows a mother’s milk is uniquely designed for her baby, and she is devoted to ensuring parents feel confident, informed, and fully supported. With a collaborative, faith-centered approach, she helps families meet their feeding goals and ensures every baby is given the opportunity to thrive.
