Compassionate, expert lactation support.



Breastfeeding the way you imagined.


You're not in this alone. I can help you overcome your lactation struggles for a more positive breastfeeding experience:

Pain

Breastfeeding shouldn't hurt. Your nipples shouldn't bruise, crack or be beaten up. Although nipple and/or breast soreness is common it is preventable.

Tongue and Lip Tie

Your baby's oral function is more important than how their tongue, lips and/or cheeks look. And if your baby has a tie, it's also a matter of figuring out a plan for maximal improvement.

  • "What I like best about the way Diane approaches breastfeeding problems is that she doesn't just look at latch, doesn't just look at weight gain… she approaches it holistically, taking into consideration the mother’s needs, the baby’s physical issues as well as their emotional demeanor. Diane looks at the entire system of mom and baby. We are so, so grateful for all Diane done for us."

    "Diane saved my breastfeeding relationship with my daughter! I was days away from giving up breastfeeding after multiple unhelpful sessions with other lactation consultants. We just passed our six month exclusive breastfeeding goal and are still going strong. Thank you Diane for all you did for my daughter and me!"

    I highly recommend Diane! I was lucky enough to work with her after both of my daughters were born. She is so experienced and knowledgeable and was able to quickly zero in on the issues I was experiencing with feeding. Along with her knowledge, she was so caring and empathetic through the entire process.


    My youngest daughter is now 6 weeks old, and breastfeeding is going so well and Diane is a huge reason for that!!!

    "When I called you that first time, I was at my wit's end. I was 5 weeks into motherhood, and I felt like I was failing at every single thing. I thank you for being so thorough in your initial assessment, for listening to my concerns, for being so patient with us. I no longer detest nursing him; I find it to be 'our time' that one day I will no longer have with him. 


    I wish I called you sooner, but nonetheless, I am very happy I reached out to you. You have no idea how much you have changed both my and my baby's lives."
