Have you ever noticed how everyone raves about breastfeeding before your baby is born, but that after your baby arrives there is minimal support to assist you in reaching your goals? Or how so many people talk about how natural breastfeeding is, but not many are discussing that just because something is natural doesn’t mean it is intuitive?

That is why I offer in home and virtual lactation consults. So we can begin to close the gap between well intentioned recommendations and the realities of motherhood.

As a breastfeeding mother I understand the struggles and the joys of parenting and I know how much stress and anxiety can come with feeding your baby. As a nurse practitioner I understand the intricacies of taking a thorough medical history and performing a detailed physical assessment. As a nurse, I will support you, and as a lactation counselor, I will guide you through any breastfeeding challenges that may arise.

Together we can work toward making your breastfeeding journey work for you. If, for any number of reasons, your journey isn’t going the way you want it to, we can discuss a realistic path forward. We will work as a team and your goals and preferences will be at the forefront of all we do.
