Breastfeeding is natural… so why doesn’t it always feel like it?
Because breastfeeding is a set of skills- for both Mama AND Baby.
It takes time to learn these skills.
Many different factors come together, making each Mama/Baby pair’s feeding journey unique, even with mothers who have easily nursed babies in the past. These feeding skills are building blocks to other life skills and worth the effort to learn & practice, even modify if needed.
We mamas don’t always get the memo that in real life:
we need help from others in the early days & weeks
a painful latch means more support is needed
there are ways to latch a baby to the breast that feel comfortable
a difficult start to breastfeeding can be overcome
breastfeeding is a mirror: we were designed to breastfeed
if something isn’t working, we need to look further to find out why
find solutions while we feed baby
support is available!
Mamas are meant to mother our babies with loving support around us.

MAMAS & BABIES exists because I know how it feels to struggle to feed a baby. Natural and instinctual doesn’t mean it always comes easy, especially with modern factors that can impact mamas, babies, families, and communities.
And we mamas are resilient.
Dedicated to the care of my clients because I believe success in breastfeeding is possible with compassionate care and education.
I believe in the value of support for mamas to be empowered on their mothering journeys from the very beginning.
You don’t have to do this alone. I am here to guide & cheer you on, every step of the way!
