You don’t have to navigate motherhood alone.
About Me
I’m Stephanie, an experienced Mother-Baby RN and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant certified in Perinatal Mental Health.
I have been working with pregnant and postpartum women & their families for over 10 years. I take pride in being a highly compassionate provider with the ability to hold space for the intense emotions & struggles that can come with breastfeeding and the transition into parenthood.
I aim to provide a non-judgmental and compassionate space where we can explore your breastfeeding goals, concerns, & develop a care plan unique to your situation that can be integrated into your busy schedule. I take a holistic approach to lactation care, and may recommend certain foods, supplements, infant exercises, and ways to improve your mental health within your care plan.
I look forward to being a part of your journey through motherhood and breastfeeding!
Lactation Consulting
I am here to guide you through what is, for many moms, one of the most difficult journeys of parenthood. Breastfeeding is a learned skill that is not always easy and natural. I have been through the struggles myself, and am committed to helping you meet your breastfeeding goals while also holding space for the many emotions that surface throughout the different stages and hurdles of breastfeeding.
Here are a few of my specialties:
Low milk supply and breastfeeding with insufficient glandular tissue
Pain with breastfeeding
Suspected tongue or lip ties
Infant with slow weight gain
Exclusive pumping
Pump flange sizing
Returning to work while breastfeeding and pumping
Breast and bottle refusal/difficulties
Breastfeeding with a history of breast surgery
Prenatal birth and breastfeeding plans
In-Office, In-Home, and Telehealth Options Available
Many Insurances Accepted - Most offer unlimited lactation consultations, both prenatally and postpartum at no cost to you!
“Stephanie fostered a warm and nurturing environment… I am forever grateful for her dedication, expertise, and unwavering support during this critical time in my life. Stephanie is not just a lactation consultant; she is a lifesaver for new moms like me.”
-Darijana L.
“I cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough. Prior to working with her I had worked with 3 different lactation consultants, my supply was decreasing and my baby was struggling more and more to latch. Even working virtually, her encouragement, kindness and knowledge of the latest sciences & studies really turned things around for us and my baby is getting almost exclusively breastmilk now.”
