I offer two decades of experience supporting families through every stage of infant feeding and postpartum recovery. I take a whole-body approach that’s compassionate and practical, tailored to your unique journey. I specialize in lactation support for complex situations like oral restrictions, low supply, thyroid or insulin-related challenges, pumping, bottles, and preparing to return to work. I also offer gentle infant sleep guidance and caregiver education to build confidence and consistency at home. As a doula and Functional Chef, I understand how birth, nutrition, and recovery all connect. I teach families how to nourish the body with mineral-rich meals, galactagogues, and essential nutrients that promote healing and support milk supply with prenatal prep for success meetings to avoid postpartum depletion. Whether you’re preparing for your baby’s first latch or navigating feeding months in and transitioning to solids, I’m here to support you with warmth, clarity, and respect for your goals.
As a Mother, I know not everyone has someone who has breastfed in their immediate family and I can be that non judgmental person in your corner.
You deserve support that protects your health, honors your choices, and strengthens the beautiful bond you’re building with your baby.
Wherever you are in your feeding journey—from first latch to final wean—I’d be honored to walk beside you.
