I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in Miami, FL, I have been practicing as a lactation consultant for over  a decade.  I know firsthand how difficult it is to experience breastfeeding difficulties; while nursing my son, I dealt with extremely low milk supply, having to supplement, bottle feeding,  and painful latch/blebs and having days I thought I was going to quit.  I called an IBCLC, who guided me through her protocol, and with her help and my determination I was able to breastfeed my son, Jake, until we were ready to wean. I truly believe breastfeeding is 10% skill and 90% determination.
 
I have a background in Holistic Nutrition and I knew the importance of breastfeeding to the overall health of my son and myself.  After years of experience as a lactation consultant I took my IBCLC exam and became Board Certified.  I believe nutrition for your baby starts before pregnancy, continues as you breastfeed  and throughout their life time.

I do this work for all the women who wanted to breastfeed and didn't have the opportunity because they didn't have someone like myself to help them through it.  Also, to be of support and guidance through this beautiful journey from pregnancy to weaning.
 
When I am not helping families in their breastfeeding journey, my other passions include : running, meditating,  practicing yoga, working on personal growth, working out,  paddle boarding or simply enjoying the outdoors on a hike, walk or camping trip.
