“Every family deserves evidence-based feeding support rooted in compassion, not judgment.”
I’m a mother of three boys, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and a speech-language pathologist specializing in pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders. For nearly a decade, I worked in a children’s hospital supporting families across multiple settings—including the NICU, ICU, general medical floors, outpatient care, and early intervention services.
My interest in lactation began with my own breastfeeding journeys and the challenges I faced along the way. Experiencing firsthand the lack of consistent, evidence-based support for families, I became passionate about changing that narrative. Too often, parents are given outdated or conflicting advice—from friends, relatives, and even healthcare providers. My goal is to offer families the clarity, confidence, and compassionate care they deserve.
I completed my clinical lactation hours at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia, PA, and became an IBCLC in 2022.
I’m not supporting families, you can find me practicing yoga, chasing my boys around, reading a good psychological thriller, or planning my next vacation or camping trip
