As the founding IBCLC for Natural Beginnings' Lactation Services, I gathered a small
group of like-minded professionals educated in the 'Womanly Art of Breastfeeding'.
Accomplished and skilled with personal experience guiding new mothers, our
current group lactation practice is a culmination of long term goals for mothers
needing evidence-based breastfeeding assistance and support.
 
In my professional practice over 38 years as IBCLC and Perinatal Educator,
working with expectant parents from 'prenatal to postpartum' I've provided
breastfeeding guidance to hundreds of nursing mothers and babies.  
  As long as a mother desires a nursing relationship with her baby,
  I will support her in finding the solutions to meeting her challenges. 

   As your Lactation Consultant, I promise to: 
~ Protect both mother  baby's health needs
~ Find causes & solutions to breastfeeding challenges
~ Use creative ideas, knowledge & experience to correct issues
~ Support mother one on one until her ongoing issues are resolved
~ Instill maternal confidence in her normal, healthy bodily processes
~ Provide current, evidence-based knowledge to address problems:

My home-based office in Garland is comfortable, roomy, and private, a lower
cost option for parents who prefer to come to me. Appointments are made here.
We also offer both self-pay and most insurance coverage options.

A Medela® Equipment Rental Station, I serve new mothers in the DFW area. 
The provider of Breast Pumps for Employee Mother's Rooms at Texas Instruments,
I've formerly affiliated with other Corporate Employers (Raytheon & J C Penney).
​
Breastfeeding In-Service Programs for professionals is a passion I enjoy.  As a guest
lecturer teaching breastfeeding physiology, I've provided ongoing breastfeeding
education for Parker University during the Pediatric rotation in chiropractic training,
and for many Midwives at local area birth centers.
 
My husband Paul and I are proud parents of our grown sons, Odin, Ryan & Aron.  
Our sons and their awesome wives have given us five wonderful grandchildren and
most recently, one new great grandson. All are such lovely blessing from God. 
Our family was active 30+ years at Peace Lutheran Church in Garland until its closing
and we are growing in Christ with Messiah Lutheran Church in Plano. 
We feel blessed by our wonderful family, good health and passionate avocations.
My hobbies are world-travel with Paul and serving mothers.  In retirement, Paul has moved
on from restoring and working on Antique cars, to woodworking in his home shop.
