I’m here to help.

and my process is simple:

  • My office is located in 3073, Gümligen, but I also offer virtual visits over video. Select the appointment type that is best for you.

  • Select the day and time that works best for you and your baby. Please contact me to discuss additional availability.

  • As an IBCLC, I have the expertise, training, and years of clinical experience to provide specialized evaluations. Breastfeeding is a team sport that requires two people working together to achieve the same goal. This means that there are two patients, both the lactating parent and baby, often referred to as a dyad. Ensuring an enjoyable breastfeeding experience for both clients is the focus of my treatment and recommendations as an IBCLC.

  • Throughout our consultation we will discuss strategies and solutions that will help you overcome your feeding challenges. We will work together as a team to determine which recommendations will work best for your family. You will leave your consultation with a deeper understanding of your baby and your breastfeeding relationship, along with easy to implement and actionable steps that you can undertake immediately to begin working towards your infant feeding goals. After your consultation, you will receive your detailed and individualized care plan and other resources in your secure client portal, and I will be here to continue to support you.

Together, we will devise a plan of care that includes actionable steps your family can immediately implement as you work towards your individual feeding goals.
