I look forward to connecting with you! I am an experienced International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, ready to support you in your breastfeeding/human milk feeding goals. I began my dedication to serving nursing families 15 years ago as a La Leche League volunteer leader.  In addition to my private practice, I work as a hospital-based Lactation Specialist at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center.  I am an experienced and certified birth doula, certified birth doula trainer and a trained postpartum doula with Birth Arts International having trained with the amazing Beth Goldberg, CPM and Demetria Clark.

I am honored to have served pregnant and parenting people at Rikers Island Jail in NYC with Liberation Prison Yoga. I have served on the board of LPY, as their Program Director and as a teacher trainer.  I continue to develop curriculum for organizations and teachers looking to incorporate trauma-informed prenatal yoga into their work.
