Why Choose a Lactation Consultant?
Lactation consultants are highly qualified and trained breastfeeding experts. We are certified internationally and must recertify every 5 years to ensure that our skills are of highest quality; we adhere to a code a conduct and provide ethically-sound care.
I offer judement-free, client-based, empathetic, evidence-based, professional feeding support and consultation. I have over 14 years of experience working with families and babies. I have helped thousands of families reach their feeding goals and have also experienced breastfeeding myself.
I have two undergraduate degrees and a Masters of Science specializing in childhood psychosocial development. I am a Registered Nurse and an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I have a special interest in attachment, infant/child mental health promotion and parenting, and align my feeding practises with those philosophies. Feeding is so much more than nutrition!
I truly can't wait to meet you and your family and help you with your feeding journey.
