Some children love animals, or rainbows and unicorns. For me it was babies. Since I was a little girl, I loved babies. I had baby dolls and all the supplies. I fed them, rocked them, and cared for them like they were real. They went with me everywhere. Little did I know, that my passion for nurturing babies would one day lead me do this as a professional.
I began my nursing career as a Labor and Delivery Nurse. After starting my own family, I taught childbirth classes and later co-hosted a support group for new mothers. Breastfeeding was a hot topic for new mothers. It piqued my inner nerdiness about this idea of 'the womanly art' of breastfeeding.
I obtained my certification as a lactation consultant after the birth of my third baby, my 'challenge baby.' She was a failure to thrive baby, refused to eat, and struggled to gain weight. We fought hard for every ounce the first year of her life. I learned many lesssons from her.
Two years after that, I had my fourth baby: Arlington Lactation & Feeding Therapy, LLC. Starting my private practice was like growing, nurturing, and birthing a newborn. Arlington Lactation was hatched with three basic goals: nurturing mothers, feeding babies, and supporting breastfeeding.
I proudly call myself a "lacto-geek" and love to talk about babies, breasts and feeding. I have a special interest in tongue ties and supporting babies with dysfunctional sucking skills. Working with medically-complex mothers and babies, including NICU graduates, reflux babies, slow gainers, and low supply mommas is my forte. Helping nursing mothers prepare for the transition back to work also brings me great joy.
When I am not helping families, I am Mom. Mom to 3 school-aged children and a wife to a loving husband with whom I share the joys and challenges of raising our family. You might find me on a soccer field, at a synchronized swim practice, or at a Scouting event. I have a few hobbies, that someday I will find time to resume, but, for now, my life is full and I cannot wait to help your family!
