Consults can take place prior to the birth of the infant or after. It is optimal to have a consult both prenatally and postpartum, which can help boost your confidence and proactively address any questions or concerns.

About Me

As Your Lactation Nurse, I am dedicated to serving my community, getting to the root cause of any issues, and connecting you with the appropriate education, tools, and community resources for a confident and successful lactation experience. 

As a mother of two young children, I was fortunate to be able to breastfeed them each for close to 22 months. That is almost 4 years of breastfeeding. It wasn't easy. There were many trials and tribulations along the way. I was determined, but I needed more guidance, especially in the beginning.  Two generations of alternative feeding methods led to an overall knowledge deficit when it came to the fundamentals - skin to skin, latching, managing pain and engorgement, and worrying about supply.  I decided I can be that help to others in similar situations as my own.

 

With the right support and education, I believe you can make the best informed choices for you and your family.  I am passionate about the benefits of breastfeeding and respect each client's choice about the use of breastmilk and/or supplements.

My nature is asking questions and problem solving. I want to help you meet your goals. I am an experienced Registered Nurse and well versed on care planning, community resources, and our complex healthcare system thanks to several years in the world of Case Management.

My goal is to help you create a realistic, stepwise plan to successful breastfeeding, however that may look for you. With a caring and compassionate touch we can work together from the prenatal period, postpartum, or for extended breastfeeding journey beyond the first year of life.

In my spare time, I enjoy the peace and serenity of the ocean, going to mass with family, and hula dancing in a local Hālau.
