Motherhood isn’t about having all the answers- it’s about showing up with love, doing your best, and learning to Go With The Flow.

Providing education, encouragement and support when you need it most.

Breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world- so why does it feel completely unnatural? Breastfeeding can be extremely challenging and painful and can leave us feeling defeated during the most vulnerable of days. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. If you are needing support, guidance or even reassurance, let me be your breastfeeding coach and cheerleader all in one!

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding can be very challenging and even painful in the beginning when mom and baby are still learning together. During an in-home visit, I can observe a feeding session and help ensure that you are using the best position and achieving a deep latch to help alleviate the risk of nipple damage and ensure optimum milk intake by your baby.

Breast Pump Support

Pumping is a lot of hard work and not to mention a lot of dishes! I can help provide education for your breast pump and flange sizing to ensure that you are using the right equipment for optimum milk transfer.
