Helping with problem-solving: breastfeeding may be natural, but it isn't always easy. Sometimes, when we move around the puzzle pieces of life, we can better understand what's happening and create a plan on how to fix it.

I'm the youngest of 3 daughters, but I have a pup named Cocoa, who I rescued in 2018

I enjoy moving! So I can be doing yoga, running, or practicing Aerial arts

Certified Birth Doula

North Carolina

When I was a birth doula, I had clients that I helped latch, however, some of my "basic" breastfeeding support skills were not always solving the problem. I also noticed a trend of clients not feeling as prepared for their breastfeeding journey as we prepared for labor and delivery

I recognized a lot of members in my community needed assistance and didn't know where to go. I also believe that my abilities to move into the role of someone who could be in healthcare helped motivate me to take the next step and advocate for my patients

Stay hydrated and eat plenty of good food while you're breastfeeding! I promise you it makes a world of difference to make sure you're recovering comfortably
