Breastfeeding Can Be Challenging
I help guide mother’s through their breastfeeding journey so they can nourish their babies with confidence.
I have been a Registered Nurse (RN) since 2013 and went on to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2018. I have gained extensive experience while working in hospital’s as a Lactation Consultant in the Mother/Baby unit, as well as, providing support and assistance to our more fragile NICU population.
As a mother, I was inspired to become a lactation consultant after experiencing my own breastfeeding challenges. I was born and raised on the Central Coast and went away to pursue my education in nursing. I returned to the Central Coast in 2017, where I have had the pleasure of working in the community as a lactation consultant.
I find great joy in helping moms succeed in breastfeeding and reaching the goals that they have set for themselves. There are many ways to feed and nurture your baby, and I know each situation is different. I do not use a cookie-cutter approach but instead, I share my knowledge and technical skills with the highest level of compassion and care, personalizing my care to meet your needs. I want each mom to succeed and feel confident that they know how to nourish their baby.
I continue to provide coaching and assistance after I leave our consult through phone calls and/or texts. Always remember, I am one phone call away. I look forward to sharing experiences, challenges, and joys of learning to breastfeed with you.
