What We Do
Nurturing Expressions provides caring, evidence-based healthcare and support for expecting and new parents. We specialize in lactation, chest and breastfeeding, breast pump education and care, and mastectomy and compression garments.
We are a local, woman-owned, Washington-based business.
Our Mission
Our mission is to guide and nurture families through pregnancy, postpartum, and lactation, to provide social and clinical lactation support for expecting and new parents, and to make breastfeeding and pumping more accessible for all parents.
Our Vision
Our vision is to provide nurturing spaces for working lactating parents through Corporate Lactation Programs and Mothers’ Rooms, serve our local communities and parents through support groups, classes, and lactation health care, provide expert fittings for nursing, mastectomy, and compression garments, and help as many parents as possible utilize their insurance breast pump benefits. Nurturing Expressions supports parents through their lactation journeys and beyond.
Our History
Nurturing Expressions is woman-owned and locally-owned. Nurturing Expressions was founded in 2004 by Tracy Corey, a Registered Nurse (RN) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). The company started as a mobile service bringing breast pumps and lactation services directly to parents in their homes or hospital rooms.
Our company has grown to include an expanded line of support services and supplies for maternity, breastfeeding / chestfeeding, and compression and mastectomy therapy, as well as boutique locations in Tacoma, Tukwila (Microboutique), West Seattle and Poulsbo, WA.
