Hi, I’m Kelly — a postpartum Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), as well as a mother who has experienced both the challenges and rewards of breastfeeding. My personal journey into motherhood deeply shaped the way I approach lactation support—with empathy, respect, and a commitment to truly listening to each family’s unique story.

I have had the privilege of working in both hospital and outpatient settings, gaining a broad perspective on the many ways families experience the early postpartum period. Whether you're navigating a difficult start to breastfeeding, managing complex feeding issues, or simply seeking guidance and reassurance, I strive to provide a calm, supportive presence backed by clinical expertise.

My approach is rooted in evidence-based care, and I believe in empowering families with the information and confidence they need to make the choices that are best for them. I take time to understand your goals and concerns, and I work collaboratively with you to create a plan that feels manageable and aligned with your values.

Supporting parents during this sacred, and sometimes overwhelming, season of life is truly an honor. I’m here to walk alongside you—offering professional guidance, emotional support, and compassionate care as you navigate the early days of parenthood and infant feeding.

Reach out for support!
