Mother, Scientist, Peer. Labor and delivery nurse with postpartum and lactation specialization. Pre-nursing I was a doula and massage therapist. I love supporting families, their babies and their feeding journeys.
I have been a nurse for ten years. My journey to supporting new families came from the lessons my daughter taught me which sparked a passion for more education.
I have worked as an inpatient lactation consultant in the hospital setting, outpatient lactation consultant in a pediatric clinic alongside pediatricians in South Portland, ME and run a weekly breastfeeding support group. Home visits are my favorite way to help families with feedings! I also host breastfeeding education classes.
I am passionate about serving families of all kinds in a time period where extra support is warranted and needed. I’m here to support you in all ways you feed your baby. Sometimes a few tips and tricks can make all the difference. My private practice offers my knowledge but in the comfort of your home where it is nice to be with your newborn!
Same-day and next-day appointments for breastfeeding help are usually available. As an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) I provide evidence based, guilt-free support to help you meet your infant feeding goals.
