Supporting feeding goals with clarity, confidence, and care that fits real life.

Breastfeeding a newborn baby

The Heart Behind the Work

My journey into lactation work began at the bedside as a postpartum nurse, where I fell in love with caring for families in those tender, early days with a newborn. I was drawn not only to the science of breastfeeding, but to the quiet, powerful connection forming between mother and baby. I saw how much confidence could grow with the right support — and how quickly doubt could creep in without it. That realization shaped everything.


In 2018, I became an IBCLC, and since then I’ve worked in hospital, outpatient, and private practice settings across different regions of the country. Each setting — and each family — has deepened my belief that feeding support must be individualized, flexible, and rooted in listening first.


As a mother of two breastfed daughters, I’ve lived the beauty and the vulnerability of this journey firsthand. I’ve felt the sweetness of those quiet feeding moments — and the uncertainty that can come with wanting so deeply for things to go well. Each of my girls taught me something different: one shaped me as a first-time mom finding my footing, and the other walked me through unexpected medical challenges that made feeding far more complex than I had imagined. Those experiences didn’t just inform my work — they changed my heart. They are why I approach every family with tenderness, humility, and deep respect for how personal this season truly is.


Because of that, the care I provide is never one-size-fits-all. I don’t believe in telling families what they “should” do. I believe in listening carefully, understanding your goals, and walking alongside you with practical, realistic guidance that fits your real life. Together, we create a plan that supports your baby’s growth while protecting your well-being.
At the heart of my work is this belief: every feeding journey is unique, and informed, compassionate support can be the difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling empowered. It is truly an honor to step into that space with the families I serve.
