Our Mission
Feeding babies and supporting you is our goal. We welcome all family types and feeding preferences whether it’s exclusive breast or chest-feeding, a combination of breast and bottle or exclusive pumping. We are here to help with at all stages of feeding from pregnancy, to the early weeks and months, helping with slow gain weight, low milk production, latching issues, tongue tie concerns, bottle refusal, returning to work and more. Let us help you navigate this journey with confidence and ease.
How We Help
Every new family we work with is an opportunity to help solve issues so that you can enjoy more time with your baby and less time worrying about feeding your baby. During our consults whether in your home or one of our offices, we talk about many things that might include your early breastfeeding experiences, how feeds are currently going, how you want to feed your baby, what is important to you and what you want to work on.
Every consult is unique but what is constant is our detailed approach to problem solving. At the end of each visit, together we will craft a personalized care plan that feels manageable to you. It will get sent through our HIPAA secure portal where we will also check in with you and provide a space for you to ask questions in between consults.
We can meet in one of our offices, at your home or via tele-health and enjoy doing prenatal consults so that you can head into the experience with more confidence.

Susan was amazing! My wife and I were referred to her as part of care for our 1.5 month old daughter just before she had tongue and lip ties released. From the first visit, Susan listened to our concerns in a way that hadn't happened with any other LCs before her, and I felt like she cared about the health and happiness of both the baby AND me as the nursing mom! She offered a number of ways to try and get our baby to relearn how to nurse, but when that wasn't successful Susan helped us figure out a bottle option and helped me with my pumping journey. There was never any judgement, and I learned so much about breast feeding, breast health, and just doing life with a newborn from Susan. Honestly, she saved my breast feeding journey and I'm fully convinced I wouldn't be still pumping and feeding my baby breast milk if it wasn't for her! 100% recommend!

Susan has now supported me through two successful breastfeeding journeys. The two looked very different: exclusively pumping (with supplementing formula at times!) vs exclusively breastfeeding. Both of my boys had barriers before reaching a flow and simplicity to our journey. Susan was there each step of the way with so much knowledge, compassion and best of all guidance. This kind of support is what every mom deserves in her postpartum care. She is a true advocate for women and their feeding journeys while genuinely leaning into whatever it is your specific goals are. Truly appreciative and blessed to have had her for almost 3 years of support!

Without a doubt, Susan completely changed my and my baby’s breastfeeding experience. We were having latch issues, fussiness while feeding, and a lot of pain on my end. I met with Susan twice- once at my house, and once at her office. From the moment I met her, I felt comfortable. Susan is open to questions, and is thorough. She was direct and straightforward with answering questions and giving information, but wasn’t harsh. After meeting with her, I was given a detailed plan with everything that we talked about during our meeting. Now, my baby feeds without any issues and I have 0 pain. She gave my husband helpful advice about bottle feeding, and pumping advice for me- she gave me the confidence and peace of mind to return to work and pump. Susan also alleviated a lot of my anxiety, not just about feeding but about parenting in general. It's clear that she loves what she does, and is an expert at it!
