You don’t have to navigate motherhood and breastfeeding alone.

About Me

Hi, I’m Stephanie, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Mother-Baby RN certified in perinatal mental health.
With over 12 years of experience, I’ve had the honor of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the often-overwhelming transition into postpartum life.

I’m known for being a compassionate provider who can hold space for the intense emotions and challenges that sometimes come with breastfeeding and early parenthood. Whether you’re navigating feeding concerns, exhaustion, or unexpected emotions, I’m here to support your breastfeeding journey without judgment.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can explore your feeding goals and concerns together. I’ll work with you to develop a care plan that fits your unique needs and flows realistically into your daily life. My approach is holistic — I may suggest foods, supplements, infant exercises, or simple practices to help support your mental well-being alongside your lactation care.

I look forward to being part of your journey through motherhood and breastfeeding!

Lactation Consulting

I’m here to guide you through what is, for many mothers, one of the most challenging parts of parenthood.
Breastfeeding is a learned skill — and it’s not always easy or intuitive. I’ve faced my own struggles on this journey, and I’m deeply committed to helping you reach your breastfeeding goals while holding space for the wide range of emotions that can arise along the way.

Some of the areas I specialize in include:

  • Low milk supply

  • Painful latch or pain with breastfeeding

  • Suspected tongue and lip ties

  • Slow infant weight gain

  • Exclusive pumping support

  • Pump flange sizing

  • Navigating breastfeeding and pumping when returning to work

  • Breast and bottle refusal

  • Breastfeeding after breast surgery

  • Prenatal consults to prepare for birth and breastfeeding

In-Office, Telehealth, and In-Home Visits
Many insurances accepted — most plans cover unlimited lactation consultations, both prenatally and postpartum, at little or no cost to you!

Please note: In-home visits are offered based on availability and location.

“Stephanie fostered a warm and nurturing environment… I am forever grateful for her dedication, expertise, and unwavering support during this critical time in my life. Stephanie is not just a lactation consultant; she is a lifesaver for new moms like me.”

-Darijana L.

“I cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough. Prior to working with her I had worked with 3 different lactation consultants, my supply was decreasing and my baby was struggling more and more to latch. Even working virtually, her encouragement, kindness and knowledge of the latest sciences & studies really turned things around for us and my baby is getting almost exclusively breastmilk now.”

— Nancy M.
