About Lumi

Clinical Excellence Meets the Comfort of Home

Welcome to Lumi. I’m Czarina, a Registered Nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with over 30 years of experience caring for the smallest patients and their families.

Having spent decades in labor & delivery, newborn and NICU clinical care units, I saw firsthand the stress that neonatal jaundice puts on new parents. The "traditional" path often involves staying in the hospital—separated from your support system, your own bed, and the quiet rhythm of your new life together.

Lumi was born from a simple belief: Newborns heal best where they are loved most.

A Specialized Approach to Care

My mission is to provide hospital-grade clinical phototherapy and expert lactation support without the hospital walls. I bring the technology, the monitoring, and the professional expertise directly to your nursery.

When you work with Lumi, you aren't just getting equipment; you are getting:

  • Decades of Expertise: Nursing experience dating back to 1994, specializing in the delicate needs of newborns.

  • Holistic Support: As an IBCLC, I ensure that while your baby is being treated for jaundice, your breastfeeding and bonding goals remain a top priority.

  • Peace of Mind: Whether it’s through daily clinical visits or our specialized overnight support, I am there to ensure your baby is safe, hydrated, and healing.

"I’ve spent my career in the NICU and newborn nurseries, but my favorite place to care for a baby is in their parents' arms. At Lumi, we make that possible."Czarina Amell, RN, BSN, IBCLC
