Breastfeeding is the natural physiological way to feed our babies. When everything is going smoothly it can be a wonderful experience. However, at other times it can be quite challenging. Contrary to what many believe, breastfeeding is not something you are simply expected to "know" how to do. It is a learned skill both you and your baby will come to learn together. In general, there is an absence of support and education in the community for new parents in regards to breastfeeding and this makes it especially challenging to navigate the postpartum period and feel confident.
As a Board Certified Lactation Consultant I have the clinical expertise and experience required to support you and your baby’s needs. My focus is listening to clients first and then creating unique plans to help you overcome challenges such as latching, positioning, nipple pain, establishing and increasing milk supply and resolving fussiness at the breast etc. My intention is to provide breastfeeding dyads with compassionate support and guidance to help families reach their goals and thrive in the pospartum period.
