As a wife and mother, I have a deep appreciation for the bond that breastfeeding can create between mother and child. As an experienced nurse and lactation consultant, I have seen the many benefits that breastfeeding can provide for both mother and baby. Having breastfed my own daughter and worked with countless mothers over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges that can arise during the breastfeeding journey and have honed my skills to provide mothers with the support and guidance they need to overcome these challenges. After obtaining my IBCLC, I knew that I wanted to provide personalized and evidence-based support to help moms nourish their babies and find fulfillment in their breastfeeding experience. Whether you are a first-time mother or have breastfed before, I am here to help you achieve your breastfeeding goals with compassion, expertise, and dedication.

I accept several insurance plans and offer sliding scale pricing for out of network clients. Unique from other IBCLCs and sleep consultants, I work with families to help understand & address the root cause of their baby's night wakings without ANY form of separation-based sleep training. My approach centers attachment and is informed by neuroscience & infant brain development, as well as biological feeding norms. Because I specialized training in lactation care, oral function, and nutrition, I have helped hundreds of families identify missed (or dismissed) issues affecting sleep and improve their child's health & well-being for life.

Hi there! I’m Sarah an IBCLC and former NICU RN. I help families learn about breastfeeding, latch their babies and make milk confidently. My goal is for you to feel fully supported on your breastfeeding journey. I look forward to talking with you.

I have been a nurse for 16 years, an IBCLC for over 7 years. I have three children, 10,10,9. (Twins). After becoming a mother myself and truly experiencing the hardships, I knew my mission was to be there for these moms during the toughest phase of life. And my goal isn’t to make sure they breastfeed. While I do want them to meet their goals, I will never pressure a mom to only breastfeed. Everyone’s journey is different, and my job is to educate and support these families, however that may look. I want to be a resource for them to grow and thrive as a parent. I look forward to hopefully meeting new moms through this service:)

After the birth of my first daughter in 2011, I became passionate about breastfeeding and its advocacy. I had no idea how hard and isolating it would be and desperately wanted help and advice. We moved back to the Capital Region and I found La Leche League! This community of supportive, non-judgmental nursing families inspired me and I became an accredited Leader in 2017. Since then, I’ve been fervently learning about breastfeeding and human lactation. I earned the title of IBCLC in December 2022. I live in Averill Park, NY with my husband, two daughters, our two rescue cats, and a handful of chickens. I love gardening, cooking, cycling, running, pole vaulting, learning new things, and empowering families to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
