“I am a lucky mother of two wild little boys and baby girl. I’ve been through a preterm birth, a NICU stay, bottle feeding difficulties, successful transition back to breast from bottle feeding after NICU, over supply, tongue ties with a release, painful latches, poor weight gain, tandem feeding, and difficulty weaning. Having been through so many speed bumps within my own journey though motherhood, I am passionate about helping mothers and fathers reach their own parenting goals.”
