With a background as a doula, labor and delivery nurse, and postpartum nurse, I take a holistic approach to supporting families, allowing me to tailor my care to the unique needs of each family I work with. I am committed to offering personalized support that empowers parents to make informed decisions and build confidence throughout their journey.
At home, I’m a wife and proud mom to three wonderful children, and I recently became a joyful grandmother to my first grandchild! When I’m not spending time with my family, you can find me enjoying the company of my chocolate lab, Romolo, and embracing all the joy that comes with this exciting new chapter in my life.
With experience as both a labor and delivery nurse and a postpartum nurse, I am passionate about using my experience to support families throughout their journeys. My approach is centered on teamwork, compassion, and meeting parents where they are, truly listening to each family’s unique story. I strive to provide care that is not only personalized but also practical and empowering, with the goal of helping parents feel confident and supported every step of the way.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, cooking, and curling up with a good book, often alongside my two Great Danes, Louis and Willow.
ADDITIONAL TRAINING
Additional training is important in order to provide the highest level of care and support to our families. Taking additional courses is how we ensure that as lactation consultants we are equipped with in-depth knowledge of the latest best practices and how to manage the challenges that may arise during the feeding journey.
