I felt uncertain. I had support from family and friends who were knowledgeable and encouraging. Still I struggled.

That struggle turned to a determination to inform myself about breastfeeding.

I decided that I was going to transform my Bachelors degree into a career in Lactation support. I’ve worked alongside families in the Kern County community via Baby Cafe and Kern Medical. Now I’m available to assist individual families in meeting their breastfeeding goals.

Recently I added the Microbirth Approved Provider (MAP) certification. This training equips me to teach the families I work with about the microbiome (also known as the gut), and how to set your baby up for a lifetime of healthy living.
