Ayelet Kaznelson Is Set to Get Back to Acting after Two-Decade Interlude

Lactation consultant Ayelet Kaznelson has spent over two decades of her life helping mothers navigate their way through one of the most crucial parts of motherhood. But after helping thousands of families for more than 20 years, Ayelet feels that it’s now time for her to change paths again and focus on her dream of returning to acting and starting a modeling career. The 56-year-old feels confident about regaining the spotlight after many years of taking a break from it.

Ayelet Kaznelson is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and a Labor Support Doula. Experiencing the joy and the pressure of motherhood for herself following the birth of her daughter in 1999, Ayelet wanted to provide support for other lactating mothers who might find the new role overwhelming. The Israel-born consultant trained at the Elizabeth Seton Childbearing Center. Eventually, when the birthing center closed its doors, her mentors invited her to open a private practice called The Manhattan Lactation Group.

Years later, Ayelet Kaznelon traveled to Los Angeles to open The Los Angeles Lactation Group before moving back to New York City to start her private practice in 2007. Besides being a labor support doula and lactation consultant, she is also teaching and running clinics at the Prenatal Yoga Center and Manhattan Valley Pediatrics. Throughout her entire career, Ayelet has helped over 10,000 women and babies. She continues doing so even amid the pandemic, stressing the importance of offering support to new mothers and expecting mothers in these challenging times.

“My mission is to offer counseling, support, evidence-based information, and help to pregnant and chest/breastfeeding parents during the period in their lives that can be both monumentally exquisite and yet overwhelmingly fragile,” said Ayelet Kaznelson. The consultant went on to share that she does not simply tell parents what should and shouldn’t be done, explaining that there’s no one formula applicable for all.

Ayelet Kaznelson also understands how taxing it is for mothers to develop and find a system that works for them and their babies. Not to mention that, besides the overwhelming role of providing nutrition for their children, breastfeeding is plagued by many myths society has developed over the years. Although breastfeeding comes naturally for mothers and babies it is also a learned behavior and we need a lot of support as we learn the delicate art of becoming a parent. Every parent is so different from each other that even with the number of studies surrounding breastfeeding, they still have to figure many things out by themselves. 

“None of us are alike. Each parent and baby are individuals with unique circumstances, and they ought to be treated with consideration for their specific needs as well as respect for their religious and cultural beliefs,” Ayelet Kaznelson shared. “My mission is to help make possible a gentle transition from being a parent to becoming a chest/breastfeeding parent,” she added further. 

After spending two meaningful decades as a lactation consultant, Ayelet Kaznelson feels fulfilled knowing that her support has played a vital role in families across the country. But now, she feels that it is her time to pursue her other dreams. Ayelet used to be an actress, but she took a break from the limelight. Despite her age, she’s optimistic and confident about going back to acting and modeling. Ayelet can easily walk the runways of major fashion brands or land roles in Hollywood movies with her stunning figure and ageless beauty.

“I’m ready for a change and to take on new exciting endeavors. I think this is my time,” said Ayelet Kaznelson. “I have never done anything to alter my body or face. Didn’t even fix a broken nose 🙂 Ayelet envisions herself becoming a full-time actress in the next five years, and without a doubt, she will steal the spotlight in the entertainment industry.
