Corky and Wendy

Corky and Wendy have been working for women’s and baby’s health for over 30 years. They began as Lamaze teachers, worked as RNs, completed specialty training at UCLA and evolved their educational platform from a simple “Baby Bootcamp” class to the vast array of products, classes and services now available at their Pumpstation & Nurtury stores. They have extensive experience in many areas dealing with pregnancy, birth, newborns and pediatrics, but recognize that there is a unique and critical need for specific education in lactation support. They work directly with new moms and inform the Episencial products by communicating exactly what new moms want from day to day. Wendy and Corky work without end to help mothers lovingly care for their newborn babies.

“As a lactation consultant I consider it my duty to alert parents to the hidden risks associated with what we put in and on our bodies and those of babies. I have every confidence in Epicuren Baby products, use them on my grandson, and recommend them because not only are they 100 percent natural and, therefore, toxin-free, but the formulations effectively protect and nurture the skin and its immune functions.” – Corky Harvey
