I’m a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), a Labor and Delivery nurse with over eight years of experience, and a mother of three. Through both my professional work and my own breastfeeding journey, I’ve come to understand that feeding a baby is about so much more than nutrition- it’s about connection, confidence, healing and learning to trust yourself as a parent.

For years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families during one of life’s most meaningful transitions: welcoming a new baby. Working in Labor & Delivery has allowed me to guide parents through those precious first hours after birth, including the first moments of breastfeeding and early feeding challenges. Becoming a Certified Lactation Counselor allowed me to continue to support beyond the hospital setting.

As both a nurse and a mother, I understand that feeding a baby can bring joy, questions, uncertainty, and sometimes unexpected challenges. I’ve noticed a large gap in support once families leave the hospital. Whether it’s your first baby or you’ve walked this road before, you deserve support. Root & Bloom was created to provide compassionate, judgement-free support that help families feel informed, encouraged, and confident in your 4th trimester.
