About me

My approach to lactation support is holistic and biological, and tailored to each family's unique needs. I understand that no two breastfeeding journeys are the same, and I strive to determine the root cause of any difficulties. My goal is to help your family meet your breastfeeding goals and empower you throughout your journey with excellent support, care, and education. One of my greatest joys is seeing the bond created between the infant and the breastfeeding parent. Watching infants thrive and develop is incredibly rewarding for me, and I find parental empowerment equally fulfilling. I also believe that other family members, such as partners and grandparents, play a vital role in the breastfeeding journey. They are a crucial part of the support network and help the breastfeeding parent achieve their goals. My support is structured to meet the unique needs of each family. If a mother feels uncertain or overwhelmed about breastfeeding, I take several steps: praising her accomplishments, actively listening to her concerns, assessing the dyad, discussing any changes in breastfeeding goals, and creating or modifying the Plan of Care. I often recommend techniques like "skin to skin Baby-Moons" which include baby-led/cue based feeding and laid-back biological breastfeeding. This method allows the baby to explore and be in control, fostering a natural and comfortable breastfeeding experience. My current areas of study and interest as an IBCLC include microbiome seeding/ gut health and bottle refusal.
