Hi, I'm Gina! I'm an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I'm passionate about supporting new parents through their prenatal & postpartum lactation journey! I became an IBCLC in 2024 after working 3 years as a breastfeeding counselor in a clinic, working with a large clientele of pregnant & lactating parents. I became a CLC certified lactation counselor in 2016, and had volunteered 7 years for the Beaumont hospital Parenting Program. I suggest taking a prenatal lactation class while pregnant to start things off! My goal is to help support you in breastfeeding and pumping, and to help you meet your goals. My personal lactation experience includes breastfeeding my 3 children for a total of 4.5 years. I've provided education to college students for 15 years and been an educator for another 5 years. I'm enthusiastic about sharing knowledge & education. I'm dedicated to providing inclusive and equal service to all clients.

Gina was wonderful with helping me with breast-feeding. She answered all my questions and was very informative. My baby is latching much better, and my position is more comfortable. She has been gaining weight and I'm so grateful!
