Babies have always been my passion! Like Tisha said, I always knew my career would be working with babies. I applied to nursing school knowing I was going to work in OB and that's exactly what I did. After having my first child in 2014 I realized the need for more lactation consultants. I struggled a lot with him and had no one to turn to for answers, so I began doing my own research. I was determined to make this work. And that is how my lactation career started! I started my lactation training not even knowing if I would be able to get a job doing what I had become so passionate about. My family and I made some life changes and everything fell right into place. Tisha and I always casually talked about starting a business but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would actually happen. But here we are! I absolutely love my job and could talk about breastfeeding all day long. I strive to do everything I can to help each mom meet their personal breastfeeding goals. I am very passionate about tongue ties and food allergies in breastfeeding since I personally experienced that with my 2 nursing journeys. Breastfeeding does not come naturally for everyone and it definitely isn't as easy as some think. That's why I have made it my life mission to educate every mom and give them all the tools and support needed to be successful!

As a wife and mother, I have a deep appreciation for the bond that breastfeeding can create between mother and child. As an experienced nurse and lactation consultant, I have seen the many benefits that breastfeeding can provide for both mother and baby. Having breastfed my own daughter and worked with countless mothers over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges that can arise during the breastfeeding journey and have honed my skills to provide mothers with the support and guidance they need to overcome these challenges. After obtaining my IBCLC, I knew that I wanted to provide personalized and evidence-based support to help moms nourish their babies and find fulfillment in their breastfeeding experience. Whether you are a first-time mother or have breastfed before, I am here to help you achieve your breastfeeding goals with compassion, expertise, and dedication.
