I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in Minneapolis with a passion for supporting families in the postpartum period and early childhood years. I have two children who awoke my passion for supporting nursing families. My practice is informed by my ideals of gender inclusion, queer feminism, and anti-racism; is trauma-informed; and focuses on natural, biological child attachment with minimum intervention. I will meet you where you're at on your breastfeeding, chestfeeding, pumping or nursing journey and help you achieve your own goals. I am experienced in supporting parents with:
- Latch and positioning issues
- Weight and supply questions and concerns
- Painful nursing
- Engorgement
- Weaning, introducing solids, nursing a teething baby
- Dysphoria, nursing agitation/aversion, and trauma triggering
- Supplementation, expressing, and pumping milk
- Difficulty latching after separation or intervention
- Emotional support for postpartum mood disorders
- Infant oral issues
- Parental infection and illness affecting feeding
- And much more.
