MOM, IBCLC, CNM, WHNP

As a parent (a MOM), I know first-hand the intense emotions that arise when you are struggling to be your best for your family. My own struggles as a breastfeeding and working parent inspired me to become an IBCLC to help others. Before I became a parent, I was an experienced (10 years in clinical practice) Nurse Midwife (CNM) and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP). And even prior to this, I worked Full Time as a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, Lactation Educator, and Perinatal Yoga instructor (since 2003). Today, I combine all my knowledge and 20 years of experience to give my clients the holistic support they are seeking. Together, we will develop a supportive plan for you and your family that’s personalized and effective.

My mission is help parents thrive - not just survive the early years of parenthood! These are crucial years of development for our precious little people, and the happier we are as parents, the happier and healthier they will be as children, and adults. I want to help you feel confident in your choices, so you can walk or (dance) your parenting path with joy!

“The journey between who you are and who you are becoming is where the Dance of Life usually happens.”

— Barbara De Angelis
