. . . the informed parent's resource

 Lactation Visits are available in  your  Home, in my Office or thru Virtual Visits.   I also Teach:  *Prenatal Breastfeeding Classes  *Birth Preparation Classes  *Parenting A New Baby Classes

   As the original IBCLC for Natural Beginnings' Lactation Services, founding a Group of like-minded professionals, who were experienced with years of personal interaction guiding lactating mothers & who were well-trained in the 'Art of Breastfeeding', has brought me joy!
 

   In my practice these last 30+ years as a Perinatal Educator, teaching expectant parents from prenatal to postpartum I've provided breastfeeding assistance to man hundreds of nursing mothers and babies.  As a Private Practice IBCLC Lactation Consultant,  I promise to:

 

• Find both the cause and solutions to your breastfeeding challenges

• Use my knowledge, experience & creative ideas to resolve issues

• Support & protect all mother's goals and baby's health needs

• Teach about normal, healthy processes to support maternal confidence

• Provide evidence-based knowledge to address problems, as:
   

Latch - Low Milk Supply - Effective Milk Transfer - Normal Newborn Behavior - Engorgement - Blocked Duct - Mastitis - Poor Infant Suck - Lip & Tongue Tie Assessment - Bodywork Referrals

   As a Medela® Pump Rental Station, I offer services to new mothers in the DFW area meeting community needs for Medical breast pumps & BabyWeigh® Scales outside the hospital.  I provide equipment for Mother's Rooms at Texas Instruments & for other Corporate Employers.

​

Breastfeeding In-Service Programs for professionals is a passion I enjoy. As a guest speaker, I've provided ongoing breastfeeding education for Parker University during the Pediatric rotation in chiropractic training, and for many area Midwives at local birth centers.

 

Personal breastfeeding experiences with our sons, and years of service in La Leche League during my younger, mothering years led to my search and acquisition of my IBCLC Certification as a Lactation Consultant and also as a Bradley® Method Childbirth Educator.
 
My husband Paul and I are proud parents of our three grown sons.  They each have terrific wives. They have given us five wonderful grandchildren who are such lovely gifts from God.
