"I discovered the joys and benefits of breastfeeding with my own two children. I had heard of the health, cognitive, and immune benefits of breastfeeding and determined it was what I wanted to offer to my kids from the start. Beyond their benefit, it also was such a deeply therapeutic coupling for both of us, enabling a closeness that is hard to come by, post-partum.
Once my children were past the point of breastfeeding, I made the decision to help all new-moms interested in this gift to their children. Years of study, certifications, and continued learning later, I have never lost this passion. Moms from all backgrounds, ethnicities, and financial means have utilized my deep lactation knowledge in order to empower their breastfeeding journey.
Now, after 30+ years working with new moms at the hospital, I am at a station in my life where I would like to take a step back from the physicality of being on-site at a hospital, but take a step into a broader range of contact, helping moms outside of just my home town. This is why I have launched this website. Along with the joys that breastfeeding brings to new moms, there can also be challenges and road blocks. I am here to help new moms with those issues. I have seen it all and helped moms make it to the other side. "
