Julie is a Certified Lactation Counselor, Occupational Therapist and mom. She specializes in breastfeeding and infant feeding support with your overall wellness and adaptation to new roles and routines in mind. Julie believes that every parent is the expert of their own baby. There is not one best way to feed your baby because every baby is different and every family is different. She brings together evidence based education, your family's values, and empathy to help you reach your feeding goals.

I have experience supporting families with common challenges including shallow latch, pumping, bottle feeding, engorgement, oversupply, low supply, supplementation, plugged ducts, mastitis, slow growth, breastfeeding the older infant and toddler, weaning, introducing solids, newborn and infant development, maternal mental health, and more. I offer in-home consultations to ensure that you and your baby receive the best possible lactation support in the comfort of your own home. I will work with you to optimize breastfeeding, while holistically considering the whole family's wellness during the fourth trimester. For families outside of Atlanta, or locals who prefer virtual support, I offer HIPAA compliant video appointments. I also offer email and messaging-only services for families who are not having major issues with breastfeeding, but would benefit from a professional to provide empathetic and evidence-based support for minor common questions. I offer a prenatal breastfeeding class for expecting families to learn the basics of breastfeeding prior to birth. Classes are offered as a self-paced course, periodically in a live virtual group setting and by appointment as one-to-one in-home or virtual settings
