Feeding problem that can’t wait? Same-day lactation support may be available. Check availability →
Feeding support that starts with your goals.
Breastfeeding and infant feeding can be straightforward- and sometimes it absolutely is not.
As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I provide individualized lactation care for families navigating everything from routine questions to complex feeding concerns.
You do not need to be exclusively breastfeeding to receive lactation care. I support breastfeeding, chestfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, combination feeding, supplementation, transitions between feeding methods and more.
My job is not to decide what feeding should look like for your family. My job is to help you understand what is happening, identify your options, and build a plan that is realistic for you and your baby.

What Happens During a Lactation Visit?
We’ll start with your concerns, feeding history, and what you would like feeding to look like.
Depending on your needs, a visit may include observing a feeding, assessing positioning and milk transfer, reviewing pumping or bottle feeding, infant weights when appropriate, discussing milk production, troubleshooting pain or feeding difficulties, and developing a care plan together.
You’ll leave with practical next steps- not an overwhelming list of things you are somehow supposed to accomplish before the next feeding.
Feeding Is More Than a Latch
Feeding happens inside real life.
Sleep, recovery from birth, mental load, family support, work, finances, culture, previous feeding experiences, medical concerns, and simply having other children to care for can all shape what is possible.
Good lactation care considers the whole picture. Sometimes the clinically “ideal” feeding plan is not the right plan for the person who actually has to live it.
We’ll work toward feeding that supports your baby and you.
Lactation Care After a Difficult Start
Sometimes feeding begins in circumstances nobody planned for.
I have extensive experience supporting families navigating premature birth, NICU stays, pumping and establishing milk production while separated from baby, complex feeding concerns, cleft lip and palate, and more.
If your feeding journey has involved hospitalization, unexpected supplementation, exclusive pumping, medical complexity, or simply a start that looked nothing like you imagined, you are welcome here.
You Don't Have to Wait Until Something Is “Wrong”
Lactation care isn't only for feeding problems.
You can schedule a visit during pregnancy, after birth when feeding is going well, before returning to work, when introducing bottles or pumping, or anytime your feeding goals change.
And if something does feel wrong- pain, weight concerns, difficulty transferring milk, declining supply, pumping problems, or simply the feeling that feeding should not be this hard- you don't have to wait until it becomes a crisis to ask for help.
