My goal as a Lactation Consultant is to hold families in a caring, attuned space during a time that can be full of both joy and difficulty, so gratifying and yet also isolating. I am constantly striving to deepen my understanding, education, and skills so that I can better serve those who are seeking care to feed their babies. As a lactation consultant I can help with a myriad of issues including low milk supply, oversupply, painful or poor latch, positioning, pumping and flange sizing, bottle and breastfeeding refusal and aversion, slow weight gain, engorgement and oral restrictions to name a few. I have additional training and education in oral function which allows me to fully assess and assist parents in helping their baby achieve functional feeding. I live locally with my husband, two children, 7 ducks, and our cat Donut. I enjoy gardening, good food, the beauty of the PNW, and going to outdoor concerts.
