I am a lactation consultant for the Triangle Area in NC who does primarily virtual and home visits. I am passionate about providing intuitive trauma informed care and finding the root cause of infant feeding struggles. I love helping parents with therapeutic bottle feeding, when bottle feeding is needed, as well. I believe in the biological norm as a compass for establishing breastfeeding. I practice attachment parenting in my own life and found the benefits it provides.
