Get to Know Julie

A little about what drives me, what I love about being a lactation consultant, and life outside of being an IBCLC.

Why I Became a Lactation Consultant

My own breastfeeding and pumping journey — with all its ups and downs — showed me firsthand how much the right support can matter. That experience is what led me to this work, and why I care so deeply about helping every family reach their goals

My Favorite Part of Being an IBCLC

I love coming alongside families during such a vulnerable, tender time — really listening to their goals, their fears, and the questions they haven't quite found words for yet. Getting to know each family and following their journey is what makes this work so meaningful

What Families Can Expect Working with Me

Kindness, patience, and a genuinely listening ear — I want you to feel truly heard, not just helped.

A Little About Me

When I'm not working, you'll find me curled up with a book, tending my plants, or soaking up family time — between homeschooling, camping trips, and the occasional well-earned nap!
