Background

I believe that the human body is miraculous! The more I learn about how we function the more strongly I feel. Sometimes those functions are interrupted and we need a helping hand to get back on track. My role is to be a guardian for your experience. I am here to help you meet your personal goals.

Every family is unique with their own values, goals, and vision for parenting. I can’t wait to meet yours and find out how I can support you! ​

Bloom Lactation is respectful and welcoming to all genders, sexualities, families, races, nationalities, abilities, and parents of all sorts.

What makes me different than other IBCLCs you may have worked with?

I have over 20 years experience rooted in parent-to-parent care. I spent 9 years as a La Leche League Leader and 6 years working as a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor and 3 years supervising and supporting Public Health Breastfeeding Peer Counselors, IBCLCs, and Maternal Child Health Nurses. I’ve worked extensively in outpatient care, with nursing children from birth through toddlerhood and understand the ongoing needs of families once you leave the hospital.

I have extensive, specific training and experience working with:

oral dysfunction
tongue tie
oral aversion
bottle feeding difficulty and refusal
oral rehabilitation and suck training
infant led rhythmic movement and developmental support through bodywork
food allergies and sensitivities
reflux management
mastitis and persistent breast inflammation
pump use and flange fitting
milk production and managing endocrine and metabolic conditions
herbal and galactagogue support for milk production

I continue my own learning with ongoing training, reading, and research. I teach other IBCLCs and allied providers through conferences, webinars, and continuing professional development opportunities.
