About me
      My passion is deeply rooted in my personal experience and life long passions to help others.
I had a rough start breastfeeding our daughter.  With the thoughtful care of an amazing IBCLC who came to my home to help me, I was able to have a long breastfeeding journey with our daughter.  Her support made me realize that I wanted to help other parents achieve their goals.  
It was really a full circle journey for me.  When I was in college, I thought that I wanted to go into healthcare, but my academic journey didn’t work out for that.  I pursued a degree in marketing and entered into the business world.  
I could never figure out why that didn’t work out in college until I was inspired to become a lactation professional.  God had a plan for me to help moms, and lactation has been my way to help people in the way that I always thought that I wanted to in healthcare.
I am a mom to two amazing kiddos and in my previous career worked in marketing and sales. My husband and I met when we both worked in college athletics. I took a step back from my career when I got pregnant with our daughter and focused on her and living the coach’s wife life with SEC football. It is then that I found my passion for lactation. I am a proud graduate of the University of Notre Dame and I grew up in the Michiana area. I am so happy to be home and serving our community (and beyond) with my private practice.
