Where Clinical skill meets Boutique Support
Rooted in compassion and gentle guidance, this is a space where you and your baby are supported with care, understanding, and encouragement. Every feeding journey is unique, and together we'll nurture your confidence, celebrate each milestone, and find solutions that help your family thrive.
My Approach
My approach is gentle, collaborative, and centered on your family's needs. Whether you're preparing to breastfeed, navigating early challenges, returning to work, or simply looking for reassurance, I’m here to help you build confidence, find solutions, and create a feeding experience that feels right for you and your baby.
Why Boutique Support And What is it?
Seeing four to five clients a day, then spending additional time charting afterward, left me feeling like I couldn’t give each family the depth of attention and care I truly wanted to provide. While I loved caring for each family, I began to feel that the pace of traditional care didn’t allow me to offer the level of attention, presence, and personalization I wanted for the families I served.
That is what inspired a more boutique approach to lactation care.
Boutique care means intentionally serving fewer families so that each family receives a deeper level of attention and support. It means having the time to truly know you—not simply your feeding goals, but your baby, your family, your circumstances, and the little details that can make all the difference.
It also means having the flexibility to care beyond the walls of an appointment.
Sometimes exceptional care looks like delivering a pump or the right flanges when they are needed urgently. Sometimes it means driving an hour each way to make sure a mama has access to donor milk. It can mean dropping off a scale so a family can confidently monitor their baby’s weight at home while we continue working together.
And often, it means simply being available.
Because the most important moments don’t always happen during a scheduled visit. Breastfeeding can change from one day to the next, and having someone you trust just a message away can make all the difference. With 24/7 support and intentional space reserved in my calendar, I am able to respond when you need support—not simply when there happens to be an opening.
This is the heart of boutique lactation care: fewer families, more time, and an exceptionally personal level of support.
Because you deserve to feel cared for—not rushed through.
As a mom to a large family, I have been where you are.
Late-night Googling. Sorting through well-meaning advice from friends and family. Wondering if what you’re experiencing is normal, and still feeling like you don’t quite have the support you need from your care team.
I know that feeling because I’ve lived it, too.
When I wanted to breastfeed my first baby, I struggled to find the support I needed. In fact, it wasn’t until my seventh child that I finally experienced the kind of hands-on breastfeeding support I had been looking for all along.
My own journey through a variety of feeding experiences has shaped the way I care for families today. I understand that feeding doesn’t always look the way we imagined it would—and that every mama, baby, and family has their own story.
Whether your goal is to breastfeed, pump, supplement, use donor milk, formula feed, or find a combination that works beautifully for your family, I’m here to support you without judgment and without an agenda.
Your goals are the ones that matter. My role is to meet you where you are, help you feel confident in your choices, and provide the knowledgeable, compassionate support you deserve.
