I am so happy you found my website; if you are here today, you probably need some sort of lactation support. I am here to assist you on your breastfeeding journey and will take great care to accomplish this in a nurturing, compassionate manner.
Breastfeeding is the most natural way for babies to receive nutrition; it is the biological norm providing species-specific benefits for your new baby. In addition, breastfeeding protects your baby with many excellent health benefits and decreases the risks of many diseases. However, learning the process of breastfeeding can be challenging for a new mom.
My priority is to address your needs and concerns and help you take the essential steps to achieve your infant feeding goals. It may be assistance with strategies latching your baby at the breast, pumping, formula supplementation, and bottle feeding.
Every family has specific needs, and together we will discover your optimal feeding plan.
I'm a mom too! I've had many challenges and know how difficult it can be to provide breastmilk to your baby without adequate support.
I've helped and provided lactation support to a myriad of mothers and families with breastfeeding difficulties and have witnessed how many mothers second guess their abilities.
My mission is to empower you to trust your instincts and believe in yourself. I would be honored to be part of your breastfeeding journey. Let's do this together!
