Is there an office location?
I’m in the process of obtaining an office space, but for now, I offer in-home visits and virtual consultations. This way, you can get the support you need from the comfort of your own home.
What happens during our first visit?
We’ll review your goals and challenges, observe a feeding, and do a weighted feed plus an oral exam for your baby. Afterward, we’ll go over next steps and you’ll receive a personalized care plan within 24 hours.

How can an IBCLC help you?
  • An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is a healthcare professional who specializes in the clinical management of breastfeeding and infant feeding. My role is to provide evidence-based guidance and compassionate support for both parents and babies.

  • I can help if you are:
  • Struggling with latching, nipple pain, or sore breasts

  • Unsure if your baby is getting enough milk

  • Concerned about milk supply (too little or too much)

  • Navigating pumping, bottle-feeding, or combination feeding

  • Transitioning back to work and need help with a pumping plan

  • Dealing with oral concerns like tongue-tie or difficulty coordinating sucking

  • Wondering how your health conditions (such as PCOS, thyroid, diabetes, etc.) may affect breastfeeding

  • Looking for strategies to support your unique feeding goals

  • Beyond problem-solving, my goal is to make feeding your baby less stressful and more enjoyable. Every family’s journey looks different, and as your IBCLC, I’ll help you find the approach that works best for you.

What is your tongue-tie and lip-tie release policy?
If your baby has a tongue or lip-tie release, I recommend a follow-up visit within 1–2 days. At this appointment, I’ll check the wound site, assess your baby’s feeding, and make sure healing and breastfeeding are progressing well.
