✨ Feeding your baby isn’t always as simple as we expect. Pain, supply issues, or feeds that just feel harder than they should. These are all things I help families with every day.

Every family’s feeding journey looks a little different. You don’t have to push through the hard parts on your own. Support can make feeding feel calmer, more comfortable, and more sustainable for you and your baby. 💛

💬 What’s been the most surprising or unexpected part of feeding for you?

🌎 Happy World Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding Week! 🌎

This week is about honouring all the ways lactation shows up—through long nights, early doubts, unexpected challenges, and slow, steady progress.

From learning curves to letdowns (literal and emotional), here’s to the all love, patience, and persistence behind every feed.

✨ What’s one thing you discovered about feeding that surprised you?

Breastfeeding can be a challenging journey, and identifying when there are signs of a tongue tie is just the beginning. The release is a crucial step, but what comes next is just as important. That’s where I come in— I work with you and your baby pre- and post-release to gently retrain and support optimal feeding patterns, ensuring you both thrive as you move forward.

Together, we’ll address the underlying issues and create a plan that sets you up for success, every step of the way. You’re not alone on this journey—I’m here to guide you through it all.

I’ll be taking a little break to recharge. I’m off to Iceland to chase some waterfalls and dip into as many hot springs as possible! 🌊🛁✨

But don’t worry—I’m still here for you! Email me all your questions! I’ll be checking in and responding, though it might take a bit longer than usual.

Let’s keep the breastfeeding journey going strong, even while I’m off exploring the land of fire and ice! 💪🤱

Through my years in nursing, I saw soo many families struggling with various feeding challenges. About a year and a half ago, I noticed how common these issues were in our area, with families not only struggling to meet the WHO recommendations for exclusive breastfeeding but also in achieving their own personal feeding goals. I knew families needed more access to personalized, flexible support. That’s why I became an IBCLC—to provide the tailored support necessary for you to reach your unique goals.

Whatever your feeding journey looks like, I’m here to support you. 🤱✨

This is the final week to book with me before I head off to Iceland for a little adventure! 🌋✈️

If you’ve been thinking about scheduling a consult or need some extra support, now’s the time! I’ll be available for in-person visits and virtual consults until Sept 30, so let’s get you and your little one set up for success before I leave.

Don’t miss out—grab your spot now! And don’t worry, I’ll still be checking in on emails while I’m away, just a bit slower than usual. 😊

Let’s make sure your breastfeeding journey stays on track, even while I’m off chasing waterfalls!

🌈 Four Signs You Should See an IBCLC 🌈

Breastfeeding can be a beautiful journey, but it's not always smooth sailing. Here are four signs it might be time to consult an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant:
👶You have persistent pain with breast/chestfeeding
👶One feeding session takes FOREVER
👶You frequently get “plugged ducts”, engorgement, or mastitis
👶You think your supply might be too low or too high for your baby

An IBCLC can provide the support and guidance you need to overcome challenges and achieve your breastfeeding goals. Don't hesitate to reach out—you're not alone on this journey! 💖

Language shapes our reality! Not all lactating parents call themselves moms. Terms like 'chestfeeding', 'lactating parent', ‘human milk', and 'infant feeding’ can create a more inclusive world for everyone. 🏳️‍🌈

✨ "I’m an advocate of ‘indiscreet’ breastfeeding – the more that people see babies at the breast, the more normal it will be." - Dr. Jack Newman ✨

Let's celebrate the beauty and normalcy of breastfeeding! Every time families nurse openly, we contribute to a culture that supports and embraces breastfeeding as the natural, nurturing act it is.

Join me in normalizing breastfeeding, one feed at a time. Share your breastfeeding journey with pride and help pave the way for future generations.
