I am a mom of 3 and have successfully breastfed all of them for over a year.

I love getting to work with moms and babies in a supportive and educational role. I love that breastfeeding is a public health initiative and benefits both mom and baby in many ways.

My first day of work as a lactation consultant in a hospital

It is the perfect combination of my professional interests, including maternal health, public health, working with new moms and babies, and offering care in the home.

To follow their own intuition when it comes to figuring out what is best for themselves and their babies. I believe in offering evidence-based education and then supporting the parents in what they believe is best for their unique situation.
