Encouragement, Evidence-based information, and Empowerment
I am an RN and IBCLC with over ten years of experience supporting families in the postpartum period. For the past six years I have specialized as a lactation consultant in both the hospital and outpatient setting. I am a mother of three beautiful girls, and I can relate to the ups and downs of parenthood, which are all part of the journey.
I am so pleased that through my private practice I am able to meet with clients in the comfort of their own home or by virtual appointment.
It is very important to me that my clients and their families feel seen, heard, and supported with compassionate care and expertise. It is my joy and privilege to walk alongside families as they navigate the science and art of breastfeeding.
Here are some of my areas of expertise:
-Latch difficulties (including flat/inverted nipples, tongue tie, suck difficulties)
-Healing sore nipples
-Weight gain issues for baby
-Increasing milk supply
-Nipple shield use or weaning off nipple shield
-Supplemental nursing system
-NICU/post-NICU support
