I am committed to providing care that is:
- compassionate and empathetic
- inclusive & non-judgmental of all feeding methods
- collaborative, both with other lactation/feeding providers, and complementary providers such as bodyworkers, midwives, OBs, PCPs, and more
- accessible – all families deserve feeding support regardless of financial background
- highly knowledgeable about lactation and infant feeding, including: oral function, milk supply, digestive concerns, and much more
- integrative/holistic – giving families options aligned to their values and preferences
Below, I’ve shared the advanced-level trainings that I have taken in order to provide exceptional care to the families in my practice. This is not an exhaustive list. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
