Compassionate, evidence-based support for your feeding journey
Whether you're nursing, chestfeeding, pumping, bottle-feeding, or doing a mix of everything, you deserve to feel confident and supported. Lactation doesn't have to be painful, confusing, or isolating. With the right guidance, it can become a grounding, connected part of our postpartum rhythm.
As a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) and Student International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I help families navigate feeding challenges with patience, skill, and a deep respect for each parent's goals and circumstances.
