Tips and Resources

It is truly a pleasure to serve as a Birth Doula, Lactation Consultant and Childbirth Educator, offering support and education to health professionals and to Iowa families for birth, breastfeeding, baby and beyond. In this section you'll find recipes, helpful articles I've written, and external resources to help you with breastfeeding and beyond.

The information you find on this website meant to support moms and families but is not meant as a treatment plan or as an alternative to medical advice from your healthcare provider.. As always, please consult with your healthcare provider if you have a question about a medical matter. 

If you are experiencing a breastfeeding challenge, I can provide professional support and together we can create a treatment plan specifically tailored to you and your baby's needs. Some breastfeeding situations can be remedied with cupboard cures moms have used for years but in other cases you may need care and support from an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and/or your Healthcare Provider. I would be honored to help you on your breastfeeding journey. Please contact me.
