Welcome to Wisco Lactation

Ever since I can remember, I have loved babies and now I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by them everyday! I found my passion for breastfeeding support shortly after graduating college with a degree in speech pathology. It was then that I discovered you can help feed babies for a living and I knew that's exactly what I wanted to do. I sat for my board exam in 2016 and have been working in private practice ever since. I love supporting families with infant feeding, and I'm so excited to be a part of your journey. 

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my amazing husband and daughter. I love being outside, attempting to bake something in the kitchen, and drinking copious amounts of coffee.

I’ve been working with expectant and new families for more than 34 years and have spent the last 15+ years as an IBCLC.

Feeding your little one is so personal. When you have worries and concerns, you deserve care that is focused only on you and your baby. I want to understand your family and your goals so that I can best support you on your parenting journey. 

From prenatal education to understanding infants and their parents, I get to use my knowledge in every visit with you. I am a birth and postpartum doula trainer, parent educator, and have a special interest in helping parents and babies learn about one another. I co-created and facilitated a new parents group for over 25 years and I am a Postpartum Support International perinatal mood disorder group facilitator. 

My husband and I are the parents of two incredible adults and we get to grandparent a spirited and kind granddaughter. At home, we are at the beck and call of a sassy long-haired dachshund who allows me to knit and read, as long as he is snuggled up beside me.

I have spent my entire nursing career helping babies at Children’s Hospital and Columbia St Mary’s. After having babies of my own I realized that my passion lies within the area of helping moms and babies through the challenges of breastfeeding. 

I transitioned to focus solely on lactation and have been an IBCLC since 2010 and am grateful to help in this out-patient setting. The hospital visit is short and your milk is still increasing in volume. The one or two visits you get help with feedings at the hospital are typically not enough. Getting help with breastfeeding when you’re back home is more relaxed and tailored to you and your baby.

My passions in life are my 3 boys, being outside in nature, and walking my dogs.

I hope to bring a sense of calm and logic to what can be a very stress inducing and sleep deprived time of life. My goal is to bring an expert’s perspective and watchful eye to see things that help with the comfort and easiness of breastfeeding. I want to support you on this journey of motherhood.

In 2015, I started my career at my dream job as a labor & delivery and postpartum nurse. After a couple of years, it was clear that my true passion surrounded educating, empowering, and assisting families with feeding their new infant. That led me to pursue a role as a lactation consultant and become an IBCLC. Since then, I’ve worked as an IBCLC, serving families in the Milwaukee and Waukesha areas. I hope to provide judgement free care, and meet you where you are. My goal is to help you reach your goals.

I enjoy spending my free time with my husband and 3 boys. I feel it is important to live in the moment and enjoy the little things, so that is what I have set out to do.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Speech Language Pathology and went on to work as a home visitor, supporting first time mom's. It is an honor to be part of a new parent’s village, to cheer them on as they reach their goals and empower them to trust their intuition.

My husband and I enjoy spending our time exploring museums, parks and libraries with our daughter and son.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I am very excited to be working with Wisco Lactation! I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from UW-Madison, and am very knowledgeable about the significance between the mother-baby dyad. I am very passionate about women’s and pediatric health and shedding light on areas that are often brushed over. Lactation is such a unique experience and can be very difficult to navigate, and I am particularly motivated by the individual experiences of the women in my life who have struggled. As a lactation student, I look forward to working with families and supporting them with their feeding goals!

I am excited and honored to assist you on your breastfeeding journey. I believe that all families, no matter how they choose to feed their babies, should be given all the information needed to make informed decisions and to be supported in those choices. It is this knowledge that gives you the power to do what is right for your own family.

​

I love helping parents through their breastfeeding journeys and empowering them along the way. You will not find any judgement for your choices with me, only love and a helping hand.
 

I spend my free time hanging out with my husband, two kiddos and crazy dog.

I started my career as a RN, with a desire for helping others. My love for women's health led me to labor/delivery and postpartum care, where I developed a passion for helping families breastfeed. My need for learning more about lactation increased when I was able to breastfeed my own child through challenges and her health issues and got to see the power of breastmilk. Each family and their experience is unique. I use evidence based research to help educate and support, to help you reach your breastfeeding goals, whatever they may be. 

I spend my free time with my husband, daughter and large extended family. We enjoy camping all around Wisconsin, exploring new places, walking with our two dogs, and swimming in our pool.

I am a nurse practitioner and international board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) with 6 years of experience in lactation, about 8 years in maternal-child health, and 3 years of “momming” and breastfeeding my own 2 kids.  I have a diverse background, working in a variety of settings with a wide demographic of patients. Some of my special interests are low milk supply, preventative lactation, tethered oral tissues (TOTs), over-supply, inducing lactation, and hybrid feeding.

I believe that pregnancy and lactation are innate processes, and I love to explore root cause and natural solutions whenever complications arise. I am passionate about expanding equitable access to quality care for pregnant and breastfeeding families. Pregnancy and breastfeeding will likely be some of the most vulnerable times in your life, which is why I encourage families to build an army of support-it really does “take a village”. I look forward to meeting and supporting you through your journey.

I have always had a passion for helping moms, babies, and families.

As a Pediatric Occupational Therapist since 2005, I have enjoyed working with babies and children in a variety of settings.

I found my love of movement with the Feldenkrais Method® in 2007, which is a gentle, hands-on somatic approach. Through a variety of neuromotor and manual therapy techniques, I address movement, sensory, and overall function at the core of the nervous system.

My personal breastfeeding journey led me to the world of tongue ties and myofunctional therapy. I use a holistic, whole-body approach to swallowing, eating/feeding, and oral motor coordination.

I am a mother of 2 sweet boys and 1 wild girl. We love traveling & exploring, trying new restaurants, sporting events, art, and music.

I am so excited to join the Wisco Lactation team as the office manager! I am a mama of a 5 year old little boy and love everything about being a mom. I have an extensive background of working in healthcare most of my adult life and love being in an environment that is focused on helping people. I am a huge supporter of women and mother's on their breastfeeding journey, as I exclusively breastfed my son for almost 2 years! It was an important goal of mine as a mom, and without the support of other wonderful women, mothers and professionals I may not have been able to make my goal. I love being able to help others and mental health is something that is very close to my heart. I look forward to being the one to answer the phone when you call and will be here for any kind of support or help I can provide you on your lactation journey!
