I have been working with breastfeeding families for over 15 years. As a mother of four, I had my fair share of breastfeeding challenges which led me to the work I do now. My greatest desire is to help breastfeeding families feel heard and supported. We will work together to uncover and overcome the underlying causes of breastfeeding challenges. I will ensure you have an actionable plan to help you reach your breastfeeding goals and the support you need to see it through. I look forward to working with you.

I have been helping families achieve their breastfeeding goals for over 35 years, and I have loved every minute! I was very fortunate to be mentored and to be a part of one of the first Baby Friendly Hospitals in the USA, this instilled my love for breastfeeding.
I am from New Orleans where I attended LSU School of Nursing for my Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. I moved to Boston to attend the Boston University Graduate School of Nursing for my Master of Science degree in Nursing and Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) qualification. Since I am an APRN, almost all of my families get reimbursed from all the major insurance companies, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield. It was in Boston at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Boston City Hospital where I was mentored as a nurse research assistant to be one of the first lactation consultants and Doulas at those hospitals.
I continued to develop my passion in the field of breastfeeding as an Advanced Practice Nurse in Labor and Delivery, through my experiences in prenatal, postpartum and newborn care, and throughout my university teaching career of 10 years as Assistant Professor at St. Louis University and LSU Schools of Nursing.
Since moving to Houston in 1994 with my husband and three children, I have worked at Houston Methodist Hospital, and I have been a Certified Lactation Consultant for over 20 years. As a mother of three children whom I breastfed, I know the challenges and rewards breastfeeding families encounter.
Presently, I am the past President (President from 2012-19) of the Houston Area Lactation Consultants and Educators Association (HALCEA) and am currently on the Board of Directors. I authored many policies and procedures in the field of lactation, and I have been published in journal articles - ("Successful Breastfeeding in a Motivated One-Arm Amputee " published in the February/March 2016 edition of the Journal of Nursing Education and Practice).
I am up to date with all of my certifications in CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program) RNC-OB (Registered Nurse Certified in Obstetrics) and Advanced Practice Registered Nurse-Certified (APRN).
I am skilled in basic and advanced breastfeeding techniques and management; I have extensive lactation consulting experience in hospitals and at homes with maternal/parent medical conditions, with term and preterm babies, with twins and multiples in order to achieve family-centered care. However, the most important aspect of counseling is the physical and emotional support the family receives throughout this important and sensitive time.

I have been an OB nurse for over 40 years and began to specialize in lactation over 10 years ago. I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2006. My background in nursing has given me a distinct advantage to problem solve breastfeeding difficulties and to be able to formulate plans of care to guide a family to successful breastfeeding. The last few years I have spent a lot of time and study on tongue restrictions (also known as tongue ties). Your baby’s ability to use his/her tongue will be evaluated during my in-home consultation, so you can be assured your family will get a thorough assessment and I will work with you on developing a plan to resolve your breastfeeding issues.
