From the moment that my firstborn was placed on my chest, I finally understood the saying “it takes a village to raise a child”. I quickly realized that it also takes a village to support that child’s parents.
Even though breastfeeding is biological, it is not something that just comes naturally. As a highly trained lactational consultant, it is my job to provide you with education and support to help you reach your goals. As a TOTS: Tethered Oral Tissues Specialty Trained® Professional, I specialize in functional oral assessments, pre/post frenectomy care, oral habilitation, whole body movements, and addressing ties from a holistic standpoint. Whether or not you breastfeed, bottle feed, formula feed, or combination feed, I would be honored to serve you and your family.
Parenting comes with a lot of questions, worries, and concerns, but you don’t have to tackle this journey alone. Let your village help you navigate all of the highs, lows, uncertainties, and blessings on your unique journey.
