About me

Hello everyone, my name is Maria and I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with over ten years of experience supporting families through every stage of their feeding journey. My approach is rooted in patience, respect, and a no pressure philosophy, because I believe care should feel empowering, never overwhelming. I’ve worked across virtual, bedside, and outpatient settings, and I’ve had the privilege of teaching RNs and MDs about lactation support in hospital environments. I also lead community outreach efforts, including prenatal breastfeeding classes that center warmth, clarity, and cultural sensitivity. Currently, I’m accepting new clients and proudly partnering with Wildflower and The Lactation Network to expand access to compassionate, evidence-based care. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, I’m here to support you with calm, judgment-free guidance tailored to your needs.
