Lactation Support & Education at no Cost

---

Breastfeeding Counselors are accredited and trained volunteer representatives of Breastfeeding USA who participate in mission-related activities in their communities, online, and with the national organization. 

I stand by Breastfeeding USA's Statement on Breastfeeding: https://breastfeedingusa.org/node/145/

IBCLC, in progress

I offer inclusive, trauma-informed lactation and infant feeding support for families at every stage of their feeding journey. As a Certified Breastfeeding Counselor and bodyfeeding advocate, I provide education, emotional support, and practical troubleshooting for a wide range of feeding experiences.

Areas of support include:

• Newborn feeding cues and behavior
   
• Establishing and maintaining milk supply
   
• Nipple pain, latch challenges, and feeding discomfort
   
• Pumping, hand expression, and bottle feeding (including paced feeding)
   
• Combination feeding and supplementation support
   
• Clogged ducts and common lactation concerns
   
• Feeding after a difficult or traumatic birth
   
• Nursing toddlers, tandem nursing, and extended lactation
   
• Returning to work or school while lactating
   
• Weaning — gentle, partial, or abrupt
   
• Baby-led weaning and the transition to solids
   
• The emotional and mental health impacts of feeding challenges
   

I believe that early and ongoing lactation support is pivotal — not only for feeding success, but for parental confidence, emotional wellbeing, and nervous system regulation. Feeding experiences can carry joy, pressure, grief, pride, and exhaustion all at once. My role is to educate, encourage, and normalize, while honoring the deeply personal nature of how families feed their babies.

 Support is available at zero cost and offered via text, phone, email, virtual visits, in-home sessions, or group settings. I provide both 1:1 and community-based support regardless of sex, gender identity, race, income, or age.

I collaborate with medical providers and refer to IBCLCs or other specialists when clinical care is needed.

Wherever you find yourself on your breast/chest/bodyfeeding journey — whether things feel smooth, uncertain, or overwhelming — I’m here to support you with care that is informed, affirming, and judgment-free.
