KALPITA PRADHAN
Breastfeeding became my passion without me even being aware of it. Born & brought up in India breastfeeding was the natural thing to do for me as a mother - faced challenges when I started working when my son was 7 months and was not able to pump for him, but of course with my pediatrician’s help I was able to continue breastfeeding till my son was 1 yr. When I started working at WIC, I realized this was my time to help breastfeeding moms who really needed the support. I am also a reiki therapist, practicing reiki for over 30 years now. My hobbies include reading, listening to music, cooking and nature walks. I have graduated from India with Nutrition and dietetics as my major. Also have a diploma certificate in sports nutrition, Certification of health coach from institute of integrated nutrition-NY. I am currently working at East Hartford WIC as a Breastfeeding coordinator, Nutritionist.
