Welcome!

Individualized, compassionate care to help you meet your breastfeeding goals.

The breastfeeding journey is different for everybody. Trouble latching, questions about milk supply, damaged nipples—I’ve seen it all. My goal is to be your resource for practical, evidence-based support from pregnancy and birth to the postpartum period and beyond. My approach is simple: listen, assess, and come up with a plan that best meets your individual needs and goals.

Questions about breastfeeding? Problems or concerns? You’re in the right place.

Are you unsure of if you are "breastfeeding right," or how you’ll be able to breastfeed for X amount of time when:

  • You are experiencing nipple pain?

  • You are wondering if your baby has a tongue tie?

  • Things aren’t feeling right and you aren’t sure where to get information?

  • You are wondering about increasing supply?

  • You aren’t sure why your baby won’t latch?

  • You have questions about when to start pumping?

  • You plan to go back to work and have questions about maintaining milk supply when you go back to work?

  • You have questions about and when and how do I give a bottle?

And of course, am I doing this right!? Not to worry, I’m here to help.

My Approach

 

An extension of your family and care team

You're the expert in your baby, and breastfeeding is just one part of the experience. I’ll collaborate with you & your other healthcare providers to provide the guidance and information you need to make the best decisions for you & your baby.

Care that comes to you-so you can stay cozy

No need to disrupt your routine, or pack up the car seat, baby, and diaper bag.

I’ll come to you so we can work on different breastfeeding positions in the places that are most comfortable for you.

Deep, holistic expertise

Tap into all the knowledge and experience I’ve acquired along the way. There’s plenty! Beyond lactation consulting, I’m a doula, childbirth educator, certified infant massage instructor, TummyTime!TM practitioner, and—of course—a mother.

Testimonials

“I wish I could give Abby 100 stars! She is the best. I had a consultation with her prior to giving birth, and several in-home visits after I gave birth. I was committed to breastfeeding and she helped me every step along the way. I would say that meeting her prior to giving birth was one of the most helpful parts of this experience.”

–Hannah A.

“Although many people thought I didn't need a doula because I had a hospital birth, I honestly believe my birth experience was so positive/enjoyable to look back on because of Abby and how she worked with my husband and I to make this our unique birthing experience, putting our wishes/preferences first and ultimately helping my husband and I feel empowered in this process.”

–DANI T.

“I met with Abby for a consultation and was impressed with the depth of knowledge and professionalism. She was also very warm and conversational, and that made me feel at ease. I am due in 3 weeks and feel very confident that I have the support I need to care for my baby. I highly recommend Abby!”

–RACHEL B.

“Abby is amazing! She is so knowledgeable about what she does and clearly has a passion for this work. Abby helped me by giving me the tools and resources to be successful – she has a nonjudgmental disposition and makes you feel like whatever you are doing is right for you. I highly recommend her!”

–Eve L.

"Abby was so accommodating—fitting me in for an appointment last minute, just days after the birth of my daughter. She was so patient with me and my baby, which really helped me relax when nursing. I think my baby can sense that, so I’m super appreciative of Abby’s own demeanor and positivity."

–Rachel R.

You are a parent. You have the wisdom and power.

The ability to nurture and nourish is already within you. My goal is help you tap into that power and thrive as a new parent.

Breastfeeding and feeding your baby is about so much more than milk! It’s a time for stillness, bonding, and love. It’s a shared experience between parent and baby, a natural and sacred connection, that humans have been doing for millenia. This experience of slowing down and being present will leave far more lasting memories than any of the pressure, hustle, and stress that sometimes get in the way.

I wholeheartedly believe, you are the expert in your own baby, which means you know your baby best. I’m here to provide compassionate, evidence-based guidance to empower you to tap into your own intuition and instincts as parents. Because the power of nurturing is already within you.

Let’s work together to find your groove & meet your breastfeeding goals!
