History
I see clients in Surprise, Avondale, Goodyear, Buckeye, El Mirage, Glendale, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Anthem and surrounding areas. I have been helping moms and babies breastfeed for my entire career as a labor and delivery nurse that started in 1996. I began my training to become a board certified lactation consultant in 2010 when I was working as a labor nurse and as the community education director at one of the valley hospitals. In 2012 I began working at a birth center and really noticed the need for good lactation support outside of the hospital, and specifically, privately in a client's home. I started Az Breastfed Babies LLC in 2013 and I feel like I have the best job ever.
Specialties
I come to you! I offer consults in the privacy of your own home. I see clients in Surprise, Avondale, Goodyear, Buckeye, El Mirage, Glendale, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Anthem and surrounding areas. I am an OB RN & IBCLC (Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant). I have over 18 years of experience working with moms and new babies. You can practice breastfeeding your baby is different positions in several different areas in your home. I can also do a pre and post feed weight so you can know exactly how much milk your baby is transferring from the breast. If you are having difficulties like a painful latch, the baby has excessive weight loss, issues with jaundice etc. I can work with you and the pediatrician on a plan for your long-term breastfeeding success. It is my goal to build your confidence so you can enjoy breastfeeding. I also offer a free breastfeeding support group every Wednesday in Glendale. Please see my website or Facebook page for
