About me

When I had my second child and my fair share of breastfeeding struggles, I decided to use my nursing education as a basis for studying to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant after I was inspired by my own favorite IBCLC to help others. I have been certified with IBLCE since 2017 and have personal experience breastfeeding for a total of six years so far! (3.5 years with my first child, 2 years with my second child, and almost fifteen months with our new baby!) After over nine years of caring for the tiniest babies in the Chattanooga, TN area, I decided to found Nourish & Nurture to pursue my dream of being a lactation consultant in an outpatient setting. Breastfeeding comes with both joys and struggles, and I want to be available to mothers as a form of support wherever they are in their breastfeeding journey whether that's with learning the process, troubleshooting, pumping, or weaning.
