Breastfeeding was a journey for me. I experienced low supply and PPAD. With the incredible support of IBCLCs, I had the opportunity to allow my breastfeeding journey to ultimately be one of healing, understanding, and self appreciation.

Prior to becoming an IBCLC, I worked as a postpartum doula. Many of the parents I worked with had lactation-specific questions, so I started taking coursework to better support them and, in those classes, found my calling in the field.

As that postpartum doula, I always felt so honored when families would welcome me into their homes during such a vulnerable time. I watched as families began to learn about these new babies and worked tirelessly to get every step just right. I wanted to be able to give them information that eased some of the anxiety, especially around feeding, and to empower them in their new role of caring for their baby/babies in every way.

I wish that every parent knew that they matter. It’s easy to pour everything we have into our children, but I want parents to know that they deserve to feel comfortable, cared for and supported during the postpartum period and beyond.
