Hi! My name is Brenda and I am an International board certified lactation consultant! I have been a lactation consultant since 2021. My full time job is in a hospital but I have recently started helping moms and babes out in their home! I am a mom of two little boys. My passion for helping moms and their babes with their breastfeeding journey started when I worked my first perinatal job. But, it grew tremendously when I began breastfeeding my first and now my second child. I hope that you will allow me to be a small helpful part of your breastfeeding journey!
