About me

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner/IBCLC and have over 25 years of maternal-child and family healthcare experience. I welcome all breastfeeding parents and offer individualized, non-judgmental support no matter your goals! I would be honored to partner with you on your lactation journey. In addition, as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse with multi-state licensure and prescriptive authority, I can offer advanced care for when you are experiencing conditions requiring medical treatment or expertise beyond the scope of basic lactation care. Breastfeeding Medicine services complement the care you may already be receiving from an IBCLC (or other lactation professional), doula, Obstetrician or other Provider! Breastfeeding Medicine services are available in FL, IA, ID, NE, NM and VT.
