“To be a mother is to nourish and protect true humanity and bring it to development.”
-Edith Stein
My role is to support you in your journey to nourish your baby. Everyone’s breastfeeding journey is different and I am here to support you in yours. Breastfeeding is not always easy, but my hope is that I can help to make it more simple so a mom can enjoy her breastfeeding experience.
My Story
I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a Registered Nurse (RN) with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). IBCLCs are certified breastfeeding professionals with the highest level of knowledge and skill in breastfeeding support. The availability of ICBLCs increases breastfeeding rates, which, in turn, improves the health outcomes of the community, nation, and the world.
I have always been passionate about women’s health and supporting a woman as she brings new life into the world. Throughout my career as a nurse I worked in an OB/GYN office for three years. I also worked as a Clinical Instructor for a baccalaureate degree nursing program and trained student nurses on a labor and delivery and mother baby unit for six years. I have been a La Leche League Leader for the last two years. I also have over eight years of experience breastfeeding my own children.
Other than helping mom's with breastfeeding, I love spending time with my husband and five children. Some of our favorite activities include hiking, biking and anything that gets us outside.
