A Little More About Me
Pregnancy is incredible, it has fascinated me for years. I have always loved babies and animals. Since I can’t seem to say “no” to a stray, I’ve got 2 cats, 6 dogs, and with my beloved goats — we make milk and cheese!
Ever since having my own children, I couldn’t imagine doing anything other than supporting parents. Breastfeeding brings a true connection but also comes with real challenges. I’ve been through it 4 times myself, and understand how doubt can cloud our self-perception. I strive to show you how great a mother you truly are. You already have natural instincts, and working with me helps you see them. That’s one of the secrets to breastfeeding success.
Get what you need to have the successful breastfeeding journey you dream of. It is possible to have a happy experience and I’m here to make sure it happens.
