Lactation Guidance, Counseling & Hands-On Support

I am a certified lactation educator and counselor, and deeply believe in the healing benefits of lactation for the mother baby dyad, and for our society at large. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life is ideal for the baby, and if possible, for well beyond that period. It is my goal to protect this as much as possible, while helping you meet your own breastfeeding goals, while ensuring the baby healthy & well.

And, I am very aware that breastfeeding can be extremely challenging for some, and when it is, it is stressful and overwhelming. It takes time to get the hang of it, to adjust, to find the right positions that work for you and to understand what a good latch is. It is critical to know those nuanced tips & tricks that support the very sacred relationship that is breastfeeding.

Each dyad is unique, and there is no one answer fits all here. I offer highly personalized lactation education and guidance. This looks like coming to your home to listen to your experience, deeply observe, and offer reflections and a specific plan of action. I will follow up in a timely manner and adjust the plan as needed and desire, and help you find your rhythm.

I know that the need for lactation support can change day to day, or hour by hour, and things change quickly. I strive to have a flexible schedule and fast response time to be able to meet your immediate needs.
