Lactation care just got more accessible for the community of Tallahassee!
I offer advanced lactation clinical care because families deserve skilled and compassionate care. I provide unique care as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) because I serve three clients at every visit — the lactating parent, the infant and the motherbaby dyad. A dyad is “something that consists of two elements or parts” so it is a perfect reflection of the motherbaby relationship!
As a holistic provider, I prioritize caring for the whole family by creating ease and sustainability while protecting biological norms, honoring energetic exchanges and seeking solutions that align with each family’s unique rhythm.
Every family is worthy of timely, loving support and respectful care as they work toward their infant feeding goals. I am here to help!

Holistic Lactation Care
Holistic lactation care considers the whole picture {parent, baby, weight gain, milk supply, oral function, body mechanics, health history and individual goals} to create a care plan that is personalized, practical, and grounded in your family’s needs.
Complex Cases & “Stuck” Cases
If you’ve been working hard to improve feeding but still feel stuck, sometimes a fresh perspective can make all the difference. I enjoy working with complex cases where taking a deeper look at the whole picture can uncover new possibilities and create a path forward.
I have experience caring for families navigating chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, persistent breast inflammation and recurrent mastitis, medically complex infants, and other challenging health situations. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and individualized. Together we can look beyond the obvious to understand what may be contributing to the challenges you’re experiencing.
