About Me

I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Postpartum Doula serving families in Chelsea, Cantley, Wakefield, Gatineau, Ottawa, and surrounding communities.

I offer in-home and virtual lactation consultations, prenatal breastfeeding education, and daytime postpartum doula support.

How I Can Help

I support families with a wide range of breastfeeding and infant feeding concerns, including:

• Breastfeeding preparation during pregnancy
• Painful breastfeeding or sore nipples
• Baby having difficulty latching or staying latched
• Low milk supply and ways to increase milk production
• Pumping, hand expression, and breast milk storage
• Flange fitting and nipple shields
• Bottle feeding, combination feeding, and bottle refusal
• Slow weight gain or concerns about whether your baby is getting enough milk
• Oversupply, engorgement, plugged ducts, and mastitis
• Tongue tie assessment and feeding support
• Returning to work while continuing to breastfeed
• Weaning from breastfeeding
• Personalized breastfeeding support, guidance, and reassurance

My Approach

My approach is evidence-based and deeply compassionate. I take the time to understand your goals, your experiences, and your baby — because feeding support is never one-size-fits-all.

In our work together, you can expect:

• Thoughtful, thorough assessments
  
• Practical guidance you can implement right away
  
• Gentle encouragement without pressure or judgment

I believe feeding your baby should feel supported, sustainable, and enjoyable — not overwhelming or confusing.

You don't have to navigate feeding challenges alone. Support is available when you need it.
