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 provide to you all the support you need to build a healthy, ongoing breast feeding/chest feeding relationship.
I became a CLC in 2006 and an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant in 2015. I have three children; ages 14, 10 and 5 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 3/4 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. My youngest weaned at four years old. She had laryngomalacia and reflux and again I struggled with an oversupply and overactive letdown. I was armed with more knowledge and experience and together we got through those difficult, long evenings and the weeks turned into months and the months turned into years. Providing this nutrition and experience to my children was the most empowering thing one 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 part-time in a hospital-based practice. Over the last thirteen years, I have helped thousands of parents reach their breast feeding/
chest feeding goals.
