As a mom, occupational therapist, lactation, breastfeeding, and infant feeding specialist, I understand that feeding your baby can be deeply personal—and sometimes unexpectedly hard. Through individually tailored support, Milk Stories addresses everything from tongue ties, latch pain, and bottle refusal to body tension, sensory regulation, and just plain overwhelm. Whether you’re navigating low supply, nursing after a tongue tie release, or just feeling “touched out,” I understand that helping families improve feeding function and connection—at the breast, bottle, or pump—involves holding space for the emotions that come with it all. With a background in maternal mental health and infant development, I bring a holistic lens to every session, focusing on both baby’s needs and your wellbeing. You deserve support that sees the whole picture—body, mind and heart. I am honored to be part of your Milk story, however it unfolds.
