I'm a big believer in continuing education, especially as more information is available to us everyday. There is always something more to learn! I spent this summer getting additional training in two things:

First, even though I have coached gymnastics for many, many years I went to Las Vegas and did a training with Cirque de Soleil athletes. This was an amazing opportunity to work with performers, physical therapists, and coaches who pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me learn new techniques and how to improve my coaching skills. If you know me at all, you know my favorite class was handstands!

Second, I studied and passed my International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) test. New studies are coming out everyday about the science and health benefits of breastmilk for life-long health of both the mother and baby. I strongly believe that healthy babies, moms, and families will lead to a stronger society. Often moms just need a little extra support in the first few days and weeks after having a new baby, and I'm here to help.

Please pass my information on to any pregnant or postpartum moms. I offer personalized in-home care to families.

I also have private gymnastics classes available for kids, and offer handstand classes to brave adults. Message me for details. Lessons are 30-60 minutes and designed to focus on balance, flexibility and strength.

Please visit my website for important updates! After 13 years in business here are some highlights:

• I added the initials IBCLC to my credentials
• I have officially launched "Lactation Aviation", combining my two passions of breastfeeding and flying to help new mothers navigate the pilot seat after a birth.
• New blog updates

Remember, it is important to book a lactation appointment BEFORE you give birth. Education and information are empowering tools when giving birth and breastfeeding.

"There is a phase in labor, appropriately called transition, where a wahine will reach her breaking point. She'll feel as though she can't go on. She's right. The kōhine (maiden) in her is not strong enough for the task at hand. It's during this time the kōhine dies so that the wahine can be reborn as a māmā, with her pēpi. A new, more capable version of herself with far more strength than she has ever known. From Kōhine to Māmā."

The shortage is a calamity—not a victory for breastfeeding.

40% of baby formula is out of stock, with no end In sight!! If you are able to donate your breast milk to help feed a baby in need, please consider doing so.

If you are currently pregnant, please consider breastfeeding your baby. If you need help or guidance, please reach out to me or a lactation consultant in your area.

I will be offering a breastfeeding class soon. Stay tuned!
