The most exciting part of being an IBCLC is when I get to be apart of the moment mom starts trusting her body and baby’s effectiveness through breastfeeding!

I knew I wanted to become an IBCLC while I was breastfeeding my second son in 2015. I was struggling with postpartum depression (finding my worth had seemed impossible at the time). I had latched my son and as I looked down to ensure he was comfortable and latching effectively, I unexpectedly check my “self-worth” box. Every thigh roll, his comfort and safety in my arms, his being nourished appropriately and alive- was all because of me. The hard work I put in to breastfeeding showed me how capable, strong, and worthy I am. This moment in life lit a fire inside of me. I needed to reach other moms and let them know how worthy they are through breastfeeding and parenting support as an IBCLC.

Baby is your biggest cheerleader! Baby wants you to be happy and feel successful! Watching and learning what baby is telling you will help build your confidence in breastfeeding and parenting!
