Breastfeeding is a learning curve for both you, and the baby. As a Certified Lactation Counselor, I would love the opportunity to share my support and knowledge with you to make this process as easy and enjoyable as possible. As a mother myself, I understand how vulnerable and overwhelmed one can feel at the beginning of this journey. Oftentimes, I am able to provide same day, in-home visits. If you feel that you and your baby can benefit from my services, please feel free to reach out to me via phone or email!
