I would love to see you there and be part of this important conversation around birth and postpartum support in our community 💛

Someone asked me recently how many visits do I meet with clients? It varies! For 2024, my average visit families was 2! But I had many families that were a one and done. And many where I met with them for 4-6 visits. Whether I get to join your journey for one visit or many, it is an honor to be entrusted with assisting you and your little one meet your feeding goals. I love celebrating your success alongside you. I cherish being trusted when the advice may be to explore other feeding options. I’m here in your corner no matter the goal. Thank you for the very sweet review. It made my week! 🥰

I’m back! I recently took the last week off to go on a trip to celebrate 10 years of marriage. It was a much needed opportunity for my husband and I to connect and tend to our marriage garden. We have been together for 17 years and married for 10! It takes work and love to get here. We reflected that in the last 10 years we have set roots down in Bend, have 2 children and 3 pregnancies, I went back to grad school and changed careers, started my business, lost family and pets, gained more family and friends and so much more. Thank you for your patience as I was away. I am back, my cup is full and I am ready to support the amazing families in Central Oregon with their feeding goals.

Woot woot! Officially in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield! This one has been a long time coming and I am so excited to expand my in-network access for families. Reach out today if you want to gain confidence in your feeding options when it comes to feeding your baby.

✨ New Handout Alert ✨ Have you noticed changes in your milk supply since your cycle returned? You’re not alone. Hormones, supply and demand, and your baby’s changing needs all play a role - and it can get complicated. My new handout breaks down what to expect, how your period can affect your milk supply, and what you can do to support your body and your breastfeeding goals during this time. Let’s talk about how to reduce the impact of your cycle and keep your breastfeeding journey on track. Reach out today to schedule a visit!

✨ Grateful beyond words! ✨ Just received the sweetest review from a recently graduated client - and my heart is full. Supporting families on their feeding journey is more than a job; it truly is an honor. Watching parents grow in confidence and reach their goals is why I do what I do. To every family who invites me into their home and story: thank you for trusting me. Your success is empowering.

Y’all, this came today and I am SO excited. This Herbal Handbook by fellow IBCLC is one I’ve been eying for a while. In my practice, I have the honor of serving a wide range of families. The demand for evidence based guidance on more natural and herbal remedies is increasing and this resource is one I will be using daily. I am passionate about providing the best informed care to my families. And tools like this make me feel that much more confident in the guidance I provide. Time to geek out. 🥰

Today starts my attendance for the Gold Lactation Conference 2025. Over the next few weeks I will attend over 24 presentations covering a wide variety of topics related to challenges faced with infant feeding and breastfeeding. I am excited to be in a field that continues to challenge me to expand my knowledge and grow my ability to support families in meeting their feeding goals.

New review incoming! Did y’all know I love my job? I get to work with some of my favorite people; new mamas and fresh babies. It is an honor to be entrusted to walk along side you in navigating your feeding goals. My aim is to help families be informed in their choices. Postpartum mental health is also a HUGE passion of mine. As a fellow mom and solopenuer (solo business owner) it means the world to me when you have a positive experience! And even more when you share it. I may cry each and every time one comes in 🥰. Thank you for trusting me.
