Hey there!

I'm- Danielle- Lactation Specialist

M 

ere's one thing I understand: Breastfeeding is not always easy. I'm excited to provide you with the tools and support you deserve to nourish your baby in the way you desire.

 I feel very proud and honored to have given birth to my only child in a birthing center surrounded by a team consisting of: my partner, midwives, doulas, and nurses. Her birth was hard, and breastfeeding was painful for 6 weeks, but she has continued to nurse into toddlerhood. My goal is to help as many families in our community as I possibly can!
