Who am I?

I am an IBCLC. I am a mother of 4, who I personally struggled to breastfeed. I am a wife, who needed support. I am a woman who doesn’t always fit in with cultural expectations. I am a daughter of a nurse and an engineer. I’ve been a support group leader and a doula (birth and postpartum). I live with a number of personal health issues that have compelled me to dive into a deeper appreciation for truly remarkable care.

I am often called a “baby whisperer” by clients. I sincerely love babies and see them as whole people. I am complimented on my original solutions. Clients have referred to me as their “ride or die detective” for feeding challenges. I am passionate about constantly evolving. I love learning and deep diving into gaps in knowledge, both personal and professional. I trust and believe in my clients.

Who are my clients?

My clients are, quite simply, people who want support in reaching their infant feeding goals. Most have breastfeeding (or chestfeeding) as part of the picture. They are often feeling overwhelmed or confused about how to make progress toward their goals. My clients define their own successes with infant feeding.

My clients are frequently people who feel a need for more intensive or thorough care than they are able to receive in a more clinical setting. They are often people who need (or just prefer) to minimize leaving the house with their baby.

The families I work with look a lot of different ways. They’re different ages, different sizes, different education and income levels, different religions, different races, genders, and sexual orientations. I’m honored to work with any family that trusts me to support them. Having a practice -and a heart- that is inclusive is important to me.

My clients amaze and inspire me every day.
