"I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant after struggling to breastfeed my first child. Despite being very well prepared, breastfeeding was physically and emotionally challenging and support was not easily accessible for me. Having been through the struggle myself, you will find I have no judgment or agenda. My only goal is to support your goals, whatever they may be. My job is to empower and support you along your individual journey."
