Hi, I’m Aura! I’m the founder of Your Lactation Journey—but more importantly, I’m a mom of four who’s been exactly where you are now. I’m a Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with over 12 years of pediatric and lactation experience. My background includes working as a bedside RN in pediatric critical care (PICU & NICU) and as a pediatric nurse practitioner providing 1:1 lactation support in the clinic setting. Supporting breastfeeding families has always been at the heart of my work. As a mom of four—twins first, then two singletons 18 months apart—all born with tongue ties and short NICU stays, I understand firsthand the challenges, learning curves, and triumphs of breastfeeding. My own journey taught me that every feeding experience is unique, and sometimes it’s far from “natural” in the beginning. I believe every feeding journey is unique, and there’s no one “right” way—it’s about finding what works best for you and your baby. I’m here to support, teach, & embrace you in yours and your baby’s breastfeeding journey.
I provide in-person lactation consultations in the comfort of your own home and telemedicine lactation consultations. I will provide lactation consultation services and support: - prenatal lactation/breastfeeding class - health history - assessment of mother and baby - Q&A - Feeding Plan - Follow up To learn more we can schedule a complimentary phone call.
Aura was incredibly helpful in supporting me throughout my breastfeeding journey and helping me reach my lactation goals. With her guidance and support, I was able to establish my milk supply, successfully latch my baby, improve milk transfer, and ultimately meet my breastfeeding goals. I’m so grateful for her knowledge, encouragement, and support!

Aura has been amazing! She’s very reliable and so knowledgeable! I was able to meet with her prior to giving birth, where she prepared me for lactation at the hospital based on my goals. I was able to exclusively breastfeed because of her. She’s amazing and takes insurance!!!! Because of this she came to my house a few times. She’s amazing

I had an amazing experience with Aura. She was extremely knowledgeable and caring, making me feel comfortable right away. In our two-hour session, she helped me latch my son instantly, which was a game-changer. I learned so much and left feeling empowered to conquer breastfeeding. Highly recommend her services to any new mom!

Aura was great to work with, she is very kind and compassionate and I wish I had met her before having my baby to be more prepared for my breastfeeding journey. She would check up on me continuously. I would recommend her to anyone looking for lactation support!

As a new mom, I wasn’t planning to pump right away, but when my baby needed support to gain back his birth weight while we addressed potential tongue and lip ties, Aura stepped in and made all the difference. Her expertise in teaching me about pumping quickly was a game-changer, ensuring my baby could feed well and thrive during this process. Aura’s attentiveness stood out—she continuously checked in with me, offering personalized guidance and reassurance. Every session, her encouragement, understanding, and empathy made me feel supported and confident, even when things felt overwhelming. She took the time to explain everything clearly. I can’t recommend Aura enough to any parent navigating breastfeeding challenges, especially with pumping or tongue/lip tie concerns. She’s truly exceptional!

I cannot recommend Aura enough to anyone thinking about or wanting to breastfeed or pump. I only wish I had consulted with her before I gave birth instead of waiting until after. I was on the verge of quitting all together with my 2 week old when I found Aura's contact information for a lactation consultant and made a telehealth appointment. She helped me realize that it was not too late. Her knowledge and recommendations were highly effective with me and I was able to become more confident and productive with my milk production. Her positivity and encouragement assisted me greatly.

I would highly recommend Aura as a lactation consultant for all the services she provides. She goes above and beyond in making the process as smooth as possible and making the patient feel comfortable. She made really great recommendations and was very patient with us all the way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to my closest friends and family. Thank you.

Aura has been phenomenal in helping me reach my breastfeeding goals! Extremely kind, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable— I trust her judgement. I’ve been able to feed my newborn daughter by breastfeeding and pumping effectively. She’s helped me maintain my supply and has guided me through starting to build a breastmilk stash for when I go back to work. I remember when I came home from the hospital I was extremely engorged, and I called Aura. She came over and immediately treated me, and helped me feel better within hours. She’s also been there to support me with any questions that may randomly come up. She is hands down the very best.
