BIOGRAPHY:
I currently provide In-Home Lactation Consults and
teach Pre-natal Breastfeeding and Newborn Care classes at
Beach Cities Midwifery & Beachside Birth Center in Laguna Hills, CA.
I began teaching in 1991, including Childbirth Preparation, Baby Care, and Breastfeeding classes.
I have taught at 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 relocating to Rancho Santa Margarita, CA in 2020.
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 certification as a
Lactation Consultant, and I have been passionately helping
families achieve their breastfeeding goals since 2002!
