Hi! I’m Stacy

Welcome to my website and thank you for visiting.  I have had the privilege in caring for moms and babies for 30+ years.  As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) since 2005, my goal and promise to families is to support, encourage and meet you where you are at in your parenting journey. The definition of successful breastfeeding is different for every woman. Many women have the notion that breastfeeding should be easy and natural. Often this is not the case. As a lactation consultant in private practice, I am here to help in those circumstances. My approach is kind and you'll be embraced with warmth and guidance as we work together to come up with a realistic plan. I would be honored and feel privileged to be a part of this very special and vulnerable beginning in your baby's life.

My entire career has been interwoven with moms and babies! This includes labor and delivery nursing, inpatient and outpatient lactation, NICU and private practice lactation experience. I have also shared my passion for the birth process, baby care, infant massage, multiples, and breastfeeding education during my career with families and staff alike. To complement my practice, especially for those complex breastfeeding cases, I have completed training in other holistic modalities. These include a  Master level Reiki training, 200 hour Yoga training, Cranial Sacral therapy I & II, and a Master level IBCLC class that included oral myofunctional therapy skills. I most recently completed an intensive Holistic Nurse Coaching program. All of my various trainings have been very beneficial in contributing to a more inclusive and holistic approach with moms and babies.

On a very special note, I am the proud mom to four beautiful breastfed children (Taylor, Nick & Cody-twins, and Zack) and Mimi to two sweet and spunky grandbabies. My youngest child, Zack, was one of the best surprises in life! He taught me first hand about breastfeeding difficulties and about how patience, practice, and persistence can reap great rewards. Thank you to my family and to all my moms, babies, and their families for being an inspiration to me in my practice!
