You’ve spent the better part of a year waiting for your baby (or maybe you’re still waiting, but either way, you’re already in love), and you know that you want your baby to have your breast milk. You’ve thought on it, planned on it, and you see it for you and your baby.

Breastfeeding goes beyond nutrition- it’s a relationship. It’s raw, it’s naked, and it’s a sisterhood.

Sometimes breastfeeding doesn’t look or feel the way you thought it would. Women are are made to assume that breastfeeding will “just happen”, and that it’s natural and easy; that there will be no speed bumps along the way. When that isn’t the case, mothers can feel disappointed, ashamed, angry, and frustrated. That is where an IBCLC can be instrumental to helping you towards being successful with your feeding goals that you want for yourself and for your baby.


Lactation consulting is an art- it requires creative problem solving, because there’s no single solution for any one problem. Lactation consultants are a part of the solution when it comes to feeding issues, and when it comes to planning to succeed. They exist to listen, to brainstorm, to be a source of support. They set up their work days in order to have the time to sit with you and actually listen, with an intent to get you closer to where you want to be- a typical first appointment is 90 minutes long. In comparison, the average doctor’s office appointment is slotted for 15 minutes, and the majority of family doctors and pediatricians without an IBCLC title have little to no lactation-specific training. Doctors are essential to us, but they just sincerely can’t be versed in every aspect of human life. And that’s okay.

As an IBCLC (international board certified lactation consultant) and an RN, I’m trained and certified to help you to get to the place where you want to be: mother knows best.
If you’re seeking a lactation consultant in Edmonton or the surrounding area who provides high quality care, I’m here for you.

Because when you’re in that place, there is a new level of confidence. Other people’s opinions and suggestions aren’t confusing anymore, because they don’t matter- you know what your baby needs, and how you are going to provide it.
