ReWoven: Care that goes beyond...

Lactation Consultation and Motherhood Coaching for expectant and new mothers Welcome, take a deep breath. Becoming a mother is quite a process and it takes time and support. Even under ideal circumstances, breastfeeding and early motherhood can leave a woman feeling vulnerable and unraveled. I will help you weave the threads and ribbons of your old and new self into the mother you were meant to be.

Lactation

Breastfeeding is not just about feeding a baby and lactation care is not just about supporting lactating mothers. Breastfeeding is a mixture of instinct, love, learning and sacrifice. Lactation care is about supporting the whole woman, compassionately during a time of dynamic change.

New Mother

Matrescence - The transition of becoming a mother.
“Matrescense” like adolescence, is a dynamic time in life full of emotional and physical changes that are permanent. This often overlooked transition takes place over a period of years as you adjust and grow your family.

Care that goes beyond feeding.
Breastfeeding success and postpartum adjustment are tightly related. I have cared for mothers and their infants in different professional roles and in multiple environments. My background allows me to provide a holistic model of care that is both compassionate and informed.
