MORE ABOUT ME
I'm passionate about helping moms and babies get off to the best start possible! I am devoted to providing family-centered, evidence-based, up-to-date lactation care to new mothers. I support moms in initiating and meeting their own breastfeeding goals, and work with them to create a realistic, flexible, individualized plan in a caring and compassionate way.
My RN lactation hospital experience has uniquely qualified me to bring my assessment skills as a nurse to the natural relationship of breastfeeding. I have experience working as a lactation consultant in the hospital NICU, the mother-baby unit after delivery, outpatient appointments and teaching breastfeeding classes.
WHY HOME VISITS?
I have helped hundreds of moms and babies at their homes in my private practice since 2010. I am convinced home visits are the best place to facilitate the openness to learning the new skill of breastfeeding, as both moms and babies are in a more comfortable environment.
