Hello everyone, my name is Maria and I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with over ten years of experience supporting families through every stage of their feeding journey. My approach is rooted in patience, respect, and a no pressure philosophy, because I believe care should feel empowering, never overwhelming. I’ve worked across virtual, bedside, and outpatient settings, and I’ve had the privilege of teaching RNs and MDs about lactation support in hospital environments. I also lead community outreach efforts, including prenatal breastfeeding classes that center warmth, clarity, and cultural sensitivity. Currently, I’m accepting new clients and proudly partnering with Wildflower and The Lactation Network to expand access to compassionate, evidence-based care. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, I’m here to support you with calm, judgment-free guidance tailored to your needs.

We had such a wonderful experience with our lactation consultant. From the moment she walked in, she brought a sense of calm, understanding, and support that we desperately needed. She took the time to really listen, explain everything clearly, and guide us without any judgment. Her expertise was evident, but what meant the most was how validated and understood she made us feel throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to any family needing lactation support.

As a first time mom, having a doula was very important to me. I hired Monica as my doula for my 2025 birth. Monica provided much insight surrounding prenatal care, labor, delivery, and postnatal care. Her communication skills were as outlined as she provided details regarding her role and expectations, which left minimum room for questions due to being very informative. Hiring Monica, was one of the most rewarding aspects of my pregnancy.She assisted with creating my birth plan and ensuring that it was followed as best as could be during my delivery. She addressed concerns during laboring when I was unable to and needed to focus on labor management. The techniques that she provided to help contractions during labor was very successful and I progressed more once she arrived. To add, Monica arrived earlier than what was planned, with no hesistsnce, simply because I needed my doula assistance. Monica's dedication was shown throughout her service. I would highly recommend Monica and have her again as my doula!
