About me

I'm an experienced IBCLC who has a passion for finding -and working to resolve- root causes. I love "lactation detective work" for complex cases and I love grounding myself in the biological norm as a blueprint for breastfeeding. I work hard to be inclusive in my practice in every way possible. I have especially deep dived into issues surrounding tongue tie and low milk supply. I have 4 kids who have helped me understand, more than anything, that there is more than one "right" way to parent. I believe in the instincts of the parents I work with and always honor their place as the primary member(s) of the infant feeding team.
