Although breastfeeding is a natural process, challenges and complications sometimes arise. But don’t worry—most of these issues have solutions. Unfortunately, many mothers who want to breastfeed don’t have the right information or support, and as a result, they give up earlier than they would have liked.
As a society, we have never seen as many breastfeeding issues as we do today. This is partly because we often rely on collective opinions based on cultural conditioning that pathologize normal behaviors of both babies and mothers, causing women to lose confidence in their intuition and instincts.
As a lactation consultant and doula, I am here to support you and meet you wherever you are on your breastfeeding journey, whether you are exclusively breastfeeding, mixed feeding, or formula. My purpose is to guide you and help you make your breastfeeding journey successful, according to what you decide is best for your family. I offer personalized solutions tailored to each family, as the needs of every mother, baby, and family are unique.

Kind Words
Maria was truly heaven-sent. As a brand new mom to my first child, Maria started on the second day I was home from the hospital and she came in and taught me everything I needed to know about caring for a newborn from breastfeeding to bathing to clipping nails. She has such a calming nature to her and both baby and I instantly felt safe and comfortable in her care. Despite the lack of sleep and hormones, I actually looked forward to the nights because Maria would come, make me a cup of tea and we would sit and chat while I breastfed the baby. She would come in and immediately take over, making sure the baby was comfortable. She is by far the best investment I made post-pregnancy
Maria was a key element of my delivery and postpartum recovery. From the very beginning she brought an amazing energy to our journey. Maria is knowledgeable, kind and patient. During my delivery she stayed calmed and supported me and my husband until the last minute. During my postpartum she exceeded my expectations. Those first days felt like a roller coaster but she was there, always with the right information and the right words, she definitely empowered me and made me feel confident and supported.
I can’t recommend her enough.
