What I Do

I specialize in correcting latch issues, slow weight gain, premature infants, and tongue tie. I will gather Pre visit data, perform a pre/post feeding weight and then create a care plan that will work for you and your family’s needs. All of these services can be provided to you in the comfort of your home. My goal is to stay connected with you and give you all the support you need to build a healthy breastfeeding relationship. 

I became a CLC in 2006 and an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant in 2015.  I have three children; ages 13, 9 and 4 years. I really struggled in the beginning with breastfeeding my first child, born at 36 weeks. I continued to breastfeed her until she was 2 1/2 years having endured cracked nipples, thrush and making just barely enough milk when I returned to work fulltime to exclusively breastfeed. My second child came with an oversupply and an overactive letdown. He weighed in at 19 lbs at 3 months old, (exclusively breastfed).  He continued to breastfeed until age 3 yrs & 11 months. I recently weaned my youngest who is turning 4 years old next week. She had laryngomalacia and reflux and again I struggled with an oversupply and overactive letdown which we .  I somehow got through those difficult, long evenings and the weeks turned into months and the months turned into years.  Breastfeeding, to me is the most empowering thing a woman can do—second to birthing.  You're growing a baby on the outside with an ultra, nutritionally complete, powerful medicine. In addition to being a mother and teacher to my own children, I also work parttime in a hospital-based practice.  Over the last thirteen years, I have helped thousands of mothers reach their breastfeeding goals.
