I provide Lactation Consultations in hospital, clinic and home settings. I care for Midwifery and non-Midwifery patients. I often meet with families before birth to develop a plan to avoid feeding problems, especially when breastfeeding didn’t go well with a previous child. ​ I bring to my practice a strong academic background in the anatomy and physiology of childbearing & Lactation, a passion for evidence-based clinical practice, a clear communication style and deep compassion for your struggles. Together we can work through any challenge and get you back on track to meet your infant feeding goals. ​ I look forward to meeting with you! ​

I graduated from the UBC Midwifery program and have worked as a full scope registered midwife at the South Community Birth Program and the Midwifery Group in East Vancouver. As a lactation consultant I am keen to support families reach their infant feeding goals. I have a special interest in infant tongue tie and am a member of the Ankyloglossia working group at BC Women’s Hospital, working with an interdisciplinary team to improve assessment and treatment options for babies.

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!
