As an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), my journey into the realm of lactation and infant/parent wellness began several years ago amidst challenges with feeding and health issues encountered with my own two children. Having a background in microbial and evolutionary biology has allowed me to study lactation through a scientific lens, and my role as a parent has allowed me understand the emotional complexities that often accompany feeding issues.

My overarching aim is to provide unwavering support to families by attentively listening to their unique needs and guiding them towards fulfillment. I prioritize a collaborative approach in care, working alongside other healthcare team members. I firmly believe that this cooperative effort is instrumental in uncovering the underlying causes of the challenges families may face.

My primary goal is to empower families with accurate, transparent information, enabling them to make informed decisions about their healthcare journey. I am dedicated to assisting with lactation and feeding concerns spanning from the prenatal phase through toddlerhood stages. I sustain expertise in various areas including oral function, pre- and post-release oral restriction habilitation, bottle feeding, pumping, introduction of solids, and adept management of food allergies.

It is a privilege for me to support families during this profound and beautiful phase of their lives.
