About Me

I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, which is the globally recognised ‘gold standard’ for lactation care. I was also a volunteer breastfeeding counsellor for 4 years. I have assisted many parents and families with a wide variety of breastfeeding needs and issues.

While originally from California, I have come to love living in Australia. I count myself lucky to call Melbourne home-yes, even with the cold! My family and I recently moved to the amazing Dandenong Ranges and we feel incredibly lucky to be here. After having my own babies, I discovered a passion for breastfeeding and knew I wanted to pursue becoming an IBCLC. It was quite the journey and I am so pleased I can now do what I love-helping parents feed their babies!
