Drawing on both her NICU nursing background and her own experience navigating a NICU stay and feeding difficulties with her son, Jessi brings compassionate, evidence-based lactation support to families everywhere through telehealth.
A little about what drives me, what I love about being a lactation consultant, and life outside of being an IBCLC.
Working in the NICU as a nurse, I fell in love with educating and supporting families through their feeding journeys. Around that same time, I welcomed my first child and faced the hard reality of first-time breastfeeding struggles myself — including a short NICU stay and feeding difficulties tied to torticollis. Those personal and professional experiences together are what led me to become an IBCLC.
Having the honor of coming alongside postpartum families as they navigate their feeding journeys, and helping them reach their goals.
Someone who leads with compassion and understanding, backed by evidence-based knowledge and years of experience.
I live west of Chicago on a few acres with my husband, three wild little boys, and three fur babies. When I'm not working or spending time with my family, I'm experimenting with sourdough, sneaking away with my Kindle, or figuring out how to raise chickens!
Jessi works with families across the entire Chicago area, including Aurora & Fox Valley, the Naperville Area, and the Southwest Suburbs.
Compassionate, evidence-based care from Chicagoland's trusted team of IBCLCs.
