I struggled breastfeeding with my first son and it inspired me to become an IBCLC so I could provide the support I wish I had when I was a young mom first learning to breastfeed. I went on to breastfeed all three of my children.
I love empowering parents to reach all of their feeding goals.

As a dietitian, I was well aware of the nutritional and health benefits of breastfeeding, but it wasn't until after having my first child and struggling with breastfeeding, I realized the importance of an IBCLC's support throughout a breastfeeding journey.
I wanted to be a support for families to reach their feeding goals, walking alongside them throughout their breastfeeding journey, and celebrating their successes, big and small!
Take it one day at a time. Some days may be challenging, but it gets easier. Don’t be afraid to ask for support and help!
