Specialized Training
I have additional training in the assessment, management, and treatment of low milk supply, bottle refusal, and oral aversion. I have also completed additional training in tethered oral tissues (tongue, lip, cheek ties), as well as oral habilitation.
Additionally, I always stay up-to-date with the latest research to provide the best evidence-based lactation support possible.
“My heartfelt passion for helping families navigate the postpartum period has driven me to continuously expand my knowledge and expertise. With my personal and professional experience, I am here to guide you through this wonderful adventure.”
