Mama to three beautiful children, wife to a fantastic man, enthusiastic beach goer, will always say YES to ice cream, and lover of all four seasons.
As a mother of three young children, I understand firsthand the profound beauty and honest challenges of motherhood. My personal journey has taught me that the postpartum period isn't just something to survive, it's a transformative stage worth investing in, one that deserves support, knowledge, and compassion.
For a decade, I have worked as a registered nurse and IBCLC on the Mother Baby Unit at a large Boston-based hospital. These experiences have shown me that while motherhood brings immeasurable joy, it also brings real struggles—sleepless nights, feeding difficulties, overwhelming decisions, and moments of doubt.
I founded Birch Cradle Lactation because I believe families deserve more than clinical advice. You deserve a partner who sees you, hears you, and empowers you to make informed choices that align with your unique needs and values. Whether you're navigating breastfeeding challenges, bottle feeding decisions, or simply trying to find your footing in those early weeks, I'm here to provide the evidence-based guidance and unwavering support you need.
Motherhood is demanding, beautiful, and sometimes isolating. My mission is to ensure that no family feels alone during this remarkable transition. From my work in the hospital to my personalized in-home consultations, I combine expert clinical knowledge with genuine warmth and understanding. Because when you invest in your postpartum experience, you're investing in your family's foundation and that deserves to be nurtured with care, respect, and expertise.
I can't wait to meet you and your little one! This is such a special time, and I'm honored to be part of your journey. Together, we'll celebrate your wins, troubleshoot the tricky moments, and build your confidence as you settle into your new rhythm as a family. Let's make your postpartum experience everything it deserves to be supported, informed, and filled with joy!
At Birch Cradle Lactation, our mission is to offer compassionate support to new parents and babies during the early stages of parenthood. Through personalized, evidence-based care and a nurturing environment, we empower families to navigate the joys and challenges of welcoming a new life. Our goal is to foster a supportive community where every family feels valued, heard, and empowered to thrive during this essential time.

MOTHERHOOD.
Learning about strengths
that you did not know you had.
Birch Cradle Lactation takes inspiration from the deep symbolism of birch trees, known for representing new beginnings, renewal, growth, and purity. Traditionally, birch wood was chosen for crafting babies' cradles, symbolizing the essence of new beginnings and new life. Across different mythologies, the birch tree holds a respected position for its believed protective influences. Birch Cradle was born to reflect these nurturing and protective qualities.
