BIOGRAPHY:
I currently provide In-Home Lactation Consults and
teach private Pre-natal Breastfeeding and Newborn Care classes.
I began teaching in 1991, including Childbirth Preparation, Baby Care, and Breastfeeding classes.
I have taught at several facilities in Southern California, including; Saddleback Memorial Medical Center,
Irvine Regional Hospital (now Hoag Irvine), and South Coast Medical Center (now Mission Laguna Beach).
Prior to my involvement in perinatal education I was a practicing Orthopedic Physical Therapist for 12 years.
I am married to my husband Tom since 1983 and we lived in Aliso Viejo, CA
for 33 years before temporarily relocating to Rancho Santa Margarita, CA in 2020.
In 2022 we moved permanently to Indianapolis, IN.
Together we have 3 children, born in 1990, 1993, and 2003, and a family dog.
Outside of family, parenting, and perinatal education, I enjoy cycling, hiking, 1/2 marathons,
weight-lifting, tennis, oil painting, making jewelry, and cheering for the UCLA Bruins.
When I became a mom for the first time in 1990, my newborn
son and I struggled with breastfeeding. We had a tough time
finding someone to help us figure out what was going wrong
and teach us how to get things right. We eventually overcame
our obstacles and breastfed successfully, but I did not want other
moms to have as much trouble as I did finding help and support
during their breastfeeding journeys. After my second child started
school, I returned to school as well to earn my international board certification as a Lactation Consultant, and I have been passionately helping families achieve their breastfeeding goals since 2002!
