What I Help With

You don’t need to know exactly what is wrong before booking lactation support. Many families reach out because feeding is painful, their baby is struggling to latch, pumping isn’t going as expected, or something simply doesn’t feel right and that’s enough.

I commonly support families with: 

**Feeding and Lactation Support** 

- Painful latch or nipple pain 

- Concerns about milk supply 

- Engorgement, blocked ducts, or mastitis support 

- Frequent feeding or cluster feeding 

- Pumping challenges or flange fitting (in clinic) 

- Bottle refusal or bottle-feeding support 

- Combination feeding questions 

- Decisions on supplementation 

**Newborn Care** 

- Understanding normal newborn behaviour 

- Establishing gentle, realistic routines in the early weeks 

- Soothing a fussy or unsettled baby 

- Sleep expectations and day–night patterns 

- Feeding transitions 

**Postpartum Adjustment** 

- Emotional and physical adjustment after birth 

- Feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or anxious 

- Support following a difficult or traumatic birth or feeding experience 

- Care that centres both parent and baby 

**Practical In-Home Support** 

- Hands-on newborn care support in your own space 

- Light housekeeping and simple meal preparation as needed 

- Support that helps ease the mental load during early postpartum 

No referral required. Care is evidence-based, non-judgmental, and centred on you and your baby — offered in your home, or virtually.

Receive skilled lactation support in the comfort of your own home throughout the Niagara Region. In-home consultations allow me to observe feeding where it naturally happens and provide practical, hands-on guidance in a familiar environment. Clinic and virtual lactation appointments are also available when those options better fit your needs.

As a nurse and IBCLC Lactation Consultant, I provide calm, practical guidance for painful latches, nipple pain, positioning, milk supply concerns, pumping and flange fit, bottle-feeding, supplementation, combination feeding, and feeding transitions. My goal is to help you understand what is happening, feel confident in your next steps, and develop a feeding plan that is realistic for your family.
