Whatever your needs are, I have more than likely helped a mother in your same shoes and would love to meet you and your baby. My Mission: To help mothers reach their own breastfeeding goals— whether that is breastfeeding exclusively, doing a combination of breast and formula, or pumping exclusively. While helping mothers reach those goals, I foster an open, non-judgmental, common sense type of re
lationship with my clients— instilling in them that breastfeeding is a time to nurture and enjoy their relationship with their babies. If they’re not happy, I'm not happy! My Experience:My extensive background is totally focused on healthcare and wellness. I am an experienced RN and Lactation Consultant with Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN) from and The University of Kentucky. I am a licensed RN and a Board Certified Lactation Consultant. My career began 20 years ago when I was a nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). While there, I developed a passion for bringing mothers and babies together through breastfeeding. After working for many years in the NICU, I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). My work has taken me to many settings as a Lactation Consultant and provided me with a well-rounded, balanced background. Most of my experience has been in the hospital setting, outpatient clinics as well as in Pediatrician offices. Currently, I work part time as an IBCLC at Lankenau Medical Center on the Post-Partum Unit. The balance of my work is spent meeting with mothers and babies in their homes. My Personal Life: My husband and I have 2 school-aged kids whom I breastfed for a year each. Several years ago, my family and I relocated to West Chester, PA, from Denver, CO. While we miss the mountains, we love all that Chester County has to offer. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors hiking, skiing, gardening or horseback riding.
