Each Breastfeeding journey is unique to the mom and that baby.  If you feel the breastfeeding is not going well, know that I am here to help.  In using my many decades of clinical expertise as a Registered Nurse working in Labor and Delivery, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE), I strive to find a plan that best works for the needs of my clients. I am here to support, inform, educate, and most importantly empower you, in feeding your baby.  My goal is simply to help you achieve your breastfeeding and educational goals.  A home visit lactation consultation is a very convenient service that I offer new moms. Mothers are more comfortable breastfeeding in their homes and babies tend to respond better in their familiar, quiet environment.
