Julie's own breastfeeding and pumping journey drives her deep commitment to helping every family reach their feeding goals, offering compassionate telehealth support wherever you're located
A little about what drives me, what I love about being a lactation consultant, and life outside of being an IBCLC.
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
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
Kindness, patience, and a genuinely listening ear — I want you to feel truly heard, not just helped.
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!
"I worked with Julie and had an amazing experience! She was kind and warm during a very stressful time where I was struggling to breastfeed my newborn. She very quickly came up with an actionable plan based on my specific needs and each follow up helped me to evolve my plan. She listened to what I wanted and what my goals were and provided guidance to get there. HIGHLY recommend her!"
"I had an excellent experience with my consultant, Julie! ... Julie is very attentive and knowledgeable about my concerns. She made a detailed customized care plans for my situation. She definitely is an important part in my postpartum journey. Thank you so much!"
"Julie was wonderful to work with. .. She made me feel comfortable to ask any/all questions and her follow up to see how things were going was wonderful as well. Thanks Julie!"
