About me
With over 10 years of experience in hospital and private practice settings, I provide personalized, compassionate care to support families through every stage of their breastfeeding journey. Whether you’re preparing during pregnancy, addressing latch or milk supply challenges, or navigating weaning, I offer evidence-based guidance tailored to your unique needs and goals. My approach prioritizes not only your baby’s well-being but also your mental health, ensuring that feeding plans align with what feels sustainable and empowering for you. I specialize in advanced techniques, including precise flange sizing for comfortable and effective pumping, and thorough tongue-tie assessment to address feeding difficulties. With a focus on balancing breastfeeding goals with mental health, I aim to create feeding plans that nurture both you and your baby. As a mom of two, whom I breastfed for a combined 6.5 years, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work. With a Master of Public Health (MPH) and a passion for equitable and compassionate care, I’m here to help make your breastfeeding journey as positive and fulfilling as possible. Now seeing clients 7 days a week! Book with your Cigna, Aetna, United Health, or Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance. If you have other insurance, I will provide proper documentation for you to seek reimbursement from your plan. Please contact your carrier directly for details. In many cases, the cost of a consultation can be applied to a Health Care Spending Account as well (HSA or FSA accounts). I do not travel to NYC or Hudson County. Also available for limited home visits within 20-minutes drive from Hillsborough: Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays - book here through Branchburg Lactation

Service introduction
Drawing on my extensive clinical hospital experience, I’ve developed a specialized telehealth prenatal consultation to help you prepare for your hospital experience and the early days with your baby. Many parents are caught off guard by various conditions and hospital interventions that can disrupt breastfeeding or chestfeeding, so proactive guidance is crucial. I encourage you to take advantage of this unique service; I’m confident you’ll find it incredibly valuable.
