I am a Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a registered nurse with over 12 years of experience in labor and delivery, postpartum care, and the neonatal intensive care unit located in Chattanooga, TN. The past seven years of my career have been focused on helping mamas feed their little ones as a lactation consultant. Being a mama of two little boys myself, I completely understand how rewarding and challenging motherhood can be! Bringing a new baby home can be overwhelming, but feeding your little one shouldn’t be. I started Mama & Milk to equip parents with the knowledge and support they need to confidently care for their babies. You deserve to enjoy this stage while it lasts, because from a mama to a mama, it’ll be over before you know it. One day soon, those quiet cuddles in your nursery will turn into a toddler screaming “I want a snack!”. Whether it's your first baby or your last, I'm here to support you at any stage of your breastfeeding journey.

When I had my second child and my fair share of breastfeeding struggles, I decided to use my nursing education as a basis for studying to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant after I was inspired by my own favorite IBCLC to help others. I have been certified with IBLCE since 2017 and have personal experience breastfeeding for a total of six years so far! (3.5 years with my first child, 2 years with my second child, and almost fifteen months with our new baby!) After over nine years of caring for the tiniest babies in the Chattanooga, TN area, I decided to found Nourish & Nurture to pursue my dream of being a lactation consultant in an outpatient setting. Breastfeeding comes with both joys and struggles, and I want to be available to mothers as a form of support wherever they are in their breastfeeding journey whether that's with learning the process, troubleshooting, pumping, or weaning.

As an experienced nurse, IBCLC , mom and grandmother I have a sincere appreciation for comprehensive lactation care. My goal is to listen, understand, educate and inspire you to achieve YOUR feeding goals.
