Patent-holding inventor Lisa Myers joins forces with 250+ international perinatal professionals to eliminate barriers for working mothers worldwide

September 5 – Ceres Chill, creator of the world's first and best breastmilk chiller, has formed a partnership with the Perinatal Resource Collaborative (PRC) to address one of working mothers' most persistent challenges: safe, discreet breastmilk storage. This alliance brings together innovative product design with comprehensive professional support to transform the pumping experience for mothers across diverse professions and circumstances.

From Personal Frustration to Global Solution

The partnership centers around a powerful origin story that resonates with countless working mothers. Lisa Myers, inventor and founder of Ceres Chill, experienced firsthand the inadequate options available to pumping mothers when she returned to her legal career. Determined to successfully breastfeed her son after struggling with her daughter's feeding journey, Myers found herself staring at bottles of breastmilk lined up on her office desk while planning a work trip for a major case.

Working in an office with mostly male colleagues, Myers quickly realized the lack of safe, discreet breastmilk storage options available to professional women. Her search for better solutions came up empty.

Innovation Born from Maternal Determination

Rather than accepting the status quo, Myers channeled her frustration into innovation. Drawing on her resourcefulness and determination, Myers filed for a patent and assembled a team to create Ceres Chill – a simple, versatile, and convenient solution that has revolutionized breastmilk storage for working mothers.

Supporting Hero Moms Across All Professions

Myers' vision extends far beyond her own experience, encompassing mothers in every profession imaginable. This comprehensive approach aligns perfectly with PRC's diverse membership, which includes professionals who understand the unique challenges faced by working mothers across various industries. The partnership creates a powerful support network that combines innovative product solutions with expert guidance from birth workers, lactation consultants, and other perinatal specialists.

Breaking Down Systemic Barriers

The collaboration addresses more than just storage logistics – it tackles systemic barriers that prevent mothers from successfully combining breastfeeding with professional life. By partnering with PRC's network of 250+ professionals, Ceres Chill gains access to frontline insights about the real-world challenges mothers face.

PRC members, who maintain a 95% retention rate and include lactation consultants, doulas, midwives, and maternal health specialists, bring deep understanding of feeding journeys and workplace challenges. This creates opportunities for comprehensive support that extends beyond product innovation to include education, advocacy, and community building.

Science Meets Support

Myers emphasizes bringing "science to the table" in supporting mothers' unique journeys. This evidence-based approach resonates with PRC's commitment to advancing maternal healthcare through research-backed practices and collaborative professional development.

The partnership enables both organizations to amplify their impact: Ceres Chill's innovative storage solutions complement PRC's educational resources, including their quarterly magazine focused on lactation and feeding support, weekly podcast, and specialized masterclasses.
