Personalized Lactation Care for Confident

Nourished Families

About me 

IBCLC Lactation Consultant  | RN |  Private In-Home & Virtual Breastfeeding Support in Roxborough Park, Littleton, Denver & Surrounding Areas

I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and registered nurse (RN) with over 30 years experience in maternal child care (specialty NICU) and pediatrics.  Through The Art of Lactation, I provide discreet, high-touch lactation care for families seeking expert, personalized breastfeeding, pumping, and newborn feeding support.

I serve families in Roxborough Park, Littleton, Denver, Highlands Ranch, Lakewood, Golden, and surrounding Colorado communities, offering both in-home lactation consultations and virtual support designed to meet you where you are.

Over the course of my career, I have guided hundreds of mother-baby dyads in establishing effective breastfeeding, improving milk supply, and seamlessly integrating pumping and bottle feeding.  My background as an inpatient IBCLC and clinical educator allows me to deliver care that is both medically grounded and thoughtfully individualized.

My approach is refined, supportive, and deeply respectful of each family's goals.  As a mother of two, my own experience with breastfeeding, pumping, and formula supplementation informs the way I care for my clients ~ with nuance, flexibility, and without judgement.

Now based in Colorado, I founded The Art of Lactation to offer an elevated standard of care ~ one that blends clinical expertise with a calm, personalized experience.  Every consultation is tailored to provide clarity, confidence, and sustainable feeding solutions designed specifically for you and your baby.
