Helping you nurse comfortably and build supply so you can breastfeed your baby

What other parents are saying…

  • She changed the whole trajectory of my postpartum by being level-headed, knowledgeable, responsive, and kind...If I could give her 6 stars, I would.

    — Ava K.

  • Anna was a huge blessing in my breastfeeding journey. I’m a FTM and had trouble lactating in the beginning. I had to triple feed starting out, but I’m now 7 months postpartum and have been exclusively feeding from the tap since 3 months pp!

    — MacKenzie S.

  • She is kind, patient, and extremely thorough, taking the time to understand each family’s unique situation...Parents and babies are truly in good hands with her.

    — Amanda H.

  • This was my third nursing experience and I had a lot of unpacked grief and disappointment from my two previous experiences that she readily addressed with care and concern. She helped me find the right fit and plan for me without ever pushing her own beliefs or agenda.

  • Anna is absolutely amazing, she thoughtful/knowledgeable and really enjoys the work of helping babies and mommas!

Hi, I’m Anna

I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and mother to three. My passion for breastfeeding stems from my personal experience with it. I became an IBCLC to help mothers navigate the joys and difficulties of breastfeeding. My goal is for every family I work with to feel seen, supported, and empowered in their baby’s care.
