About me
I am a mother of three children an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant, trained in perinatal mental health support through Postpartum Support International (PSI) and a DONA-trained postpartum doula living in northern Manhattan.
I know first hand how difficult it can be to recover from birth while trying to figure out how to breastfeed, pump and get some sleep. My postpartum experiences inspired me to change my career path. After decade as a stay at home parent, I went back to school and became a certified lactation counselor. I spent 2 years working as a CLC breastfeeding peer support provider to WIC families in Williamsburg Brooklyn before becoming an IBCLC. I work part-time as a Lactation Consultant and Postpartum Doula in two busy Brooklyn hospitals and support clients via Telehealth through The Lactation Network.
As someone who struggled with undiagnosed postpartum anxiety, I have a particular interest in the intersection of breastfeeding and mental health. My training through PSI, means I can help clients identify risks and symptoms of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, discuss strategies to manage PMADs, and make appropriate provider referrals.
I believe in providing an individualized evidence-based approach to lactation and postpartum support. Breastfeeding doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Click the button above to schedule a virtual consult with me, i’d love to work with you and come up with a plan to meet your feeding goals.
