About me

My philosophy is that the breastfeeding relationship should be enjoyable and pain-free. Feeding your baby is a rewarding and powerful connection whether it is from the breast or the bottle. As an infant feeding specialist, I support all feeding choices. ​ I collaborate with maternal wellness and infant practitioners all over Westchester County and Lower Fairfield County. I was fortunate to start my nursing career in Maternal Newborn nursing and I never looked back. I have been supporting families on their breastfeeding journey for 25 years. There is always something to learn in the field of lactation. When I'm not seeing clients you will find me at a lactation conference! In my downtime, I love to walk my dog on the hiking trails and take my telescope out to stargaze. I live in Greenwich with my partner and two grown sons.
