I bring a distinct blend of expertise as an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant and a Diplomate Certified CranioSacral Therapist—the first person in the world to hold both credentials. My passion is helping families navigate the complex and intimate journey of breastfeeding and infant well-being. By combining advanced skills with heartfelt care, I provide a holistic approach tailored to address your family’s unique needs.
I invite you to explore my website to learn more about these specialties and how they can benefit you.
In both my lactation and CranioSacral practices, my role is to provide unwavering support. As a lactation consultant, I ensure you have access to evidence-based information so you can make informed decisions that work best for you and your family. From there, I offer the encouragement and guidance you need to reach your goals.
CranioSacral therapy focuses on the whole person rather than targeting specific diseases or symptoms. While these may shift during the process, the aim is always to support your body’s natural balance and healing.
Whether you’re seeking lactation consulting, CranioSacral therapy, or a blend of both, I’m here to help. Feel free to reach out to discuss your needs—I look forward to supporting you on your journey!

Lactation Support
The gift of breastfeeding … for the parents and the baby.
Lactation Consultation
Lactation Home Visits are scheduled within 24 hours and last 90 minutes. They include prenatal history, feeding assistance, a weight check to assess milk transfer, a personalized plan, and breastfeeding management discussion.
Breastfeeding Education
My role is to help parents sort through the information they have been given and that which has been passed on to them. It is essential to sort out the facts from the myths so that parents can make informed decisions for themselves.
Newborn Assessment
Although I am not a physician or nurse, my years of experience working with babies have enabled me to assess their color, nutritional status, hydration, neurologic and respiratory health, oral anatomy, and structural development.
