About Me
As a Nurse and Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC & ANLC), I have more than 20 years experience working with mothers and babies in hospital settings, free standing birth centers, home visits and virtual visits. During COVID I provided virtual visits to many families honing in on assessments in a virtual environment. I have combined my lactation practice with craniosacral therapy as a way to target some of the root problems babies may face with feeding difficulties.
​
My passion for working in maternal child health started in college during my clinical rotation on a labor and delivery unit, but I also had a desire to work more closely with people in the community, outside the hospital setting. I found my niche at the Nurse Midwifery Birth Center doing births, home visits, lactation visits, and a weekly baby clinic. This work led me to dig deeper on how to help infants that were struggling to breastfeed or even bottle feed. I started training in craniosacral therapy as well as other modalities in 2013 to help infants with patterns of restrictions often seen after birth. I continue to look for the best ways to help parents and infants with feeding, connecting and thriving. I now do private practice which allows me more time with each family for more individualized care.
​
I am focusing on providing virtual visits for lactation with and emphasis on off hour support as well as mentoring and coaching for lactation specialists.
