I have 20+ years of experience in working with newborns, new moms, multiples and preschoolers. Lactation is my passion; something I fell into once I had my oldest daughter in 2009. I know first hand just how hard Nursing can be. I am a Certified Lactation Counselor from The Academy of Lactation Policy & Practice. and have been an accredited Leader for La Leche League since 2013.
Breastfeeding can be tricky, stressful and overwhelming at times. With support and evidence based guidance, Mothers will find breastfeeding to be something absolutely wonderful; a beautiful outlet for bonding with your new baby. I would be delighted to help you! Lactation Support is included in my Doula Packages, at no additional fee.
