I am a Registered Midwife and Lactation Consultant who has enjoyed working with a large variety of parents through pregnancy, birth and into their postpartum journeys for the past ten years. Assisting people during the transition to parenthood is my great privilege!
Infant feeding isn’t always as easy as planned, and often a lot of time is spent preparing for the labour and birth experience with an expectation that infant breast/chest feeding will just ‘happen’. And it usually does! But having a little help can go a long way if things aren’t going as planned.
My own experience with difficulties feeding my daughter fuelled my passion to help others with this sometimes challenging endeavour. My goal is to listen to you, provide realistic and practical help, and to keep you informed on decisions and evidence around feeding your baby.

I am a registered midwife and 2025 International Board Certified Lactation Consultant Candidate. I have gradually shifted from caring for families during pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum to focusing purely on breastfeeding preparation, education, and lactation support. I am passionate about helping families move towards their goals and supporting them as they work hard to get there. I am blessed with two children of my own that I was able to breastfeed until weaning.

I began my training as a midwife at UBC in 2002 and developed an interest in infant feeding early on in my education. I was fortunate to do part of my training in southern Africa where I witnessed firsthand the ways in which early feeding support could impact infant and maternal health. My passion was further magnified by the births of my own three babies and my own feeding experiences - I personally breastfed for 7 years straight, through 2 pregnancies, also tandem-feeding two toddlers! This did not come without some significant challenges however, and I recognize that feeding may not always go as planned.
I hope to provide families with as much support as possible in reaching their own unique feeding goals and helping them to feel confident in whatever their feeding choices and needs may be.
It’s lovely to meet you and I look forward to working along side your family on your infant feeding journey!
