 Everybody that knows me will tell you I have a passion for helping with breastfeeding.  I have been a Registered Nurse for over 18 years and have always worked in maternal-child health.  I worked as a Mother-Baby Nurse in a local hospital for 7 years before becoming a Lactation Consultant. In 2014, I started to focus my interest in breastfeeding support.  I have been an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) since 2015. IBCLC is the gold standard for lactation care and involves rigorous preparation and yearly continuing education to maintain.  I enjoy going to conferences to get the most up to date information to share with my clients. Since 2015, I have worked as a Lactation Consultant in a hospital providing inpatient and outpatient care to thousands of families with various breastfeeding needs.   

Randleman has been my home since 2005.  I live with my supportive husband and 3 growing boys that were all breastfed. My youngest son and I overcame many breastfeeding challenges.  

In 2019, I started Central Carolina Lactation Consultant, PLLC to provide local care to breastfeeding moms in the privacy of your own home.  I provide home visits to Randolph County and surrounding areas. 

I provide you expert breastfeeding assistance and education to help you meet your parenting goals. My care is non-judgemental as I am a provider coming into your home. I will respect your breastfeeding goals and support you in your journey.  My practice is supported by evidence-based research. 

My favorite color is red and I like to travel with my family. 

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family.
