Background
I’m a Registered Dietitian (RD) and Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), and the founder of The Lactation Nutritionist. My work blends clinical training with years of counseling experience, research, recipe development, and practical, real-life meal planning for busy families.
My sweet spot is preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding - and beyond!
The “beyond” part is the tricky part: without rebuilding nutrient reserves in those critical reproductive years, nutrient gaps and imbalances can linger. Over time, those gaps - paired with stress and life’s challenges - can make metabolism, thyroid function, mood, bone health, and hormonal balance harder to manage; hence, we often struggle with weight gain, depression and more in the years after pregnancy.
That’s why I focus on women - not only during pregnancy and postpartum, but also in the months and years after - helping you restore nutrient stores, support hormones and thyroid health, protect bone density, and feel like yourself again.
Now is the time to develop healthy and sustainable eating habits, and follow through with them. Let me help you get ahead of the game!

Approach
"Pregnancy & postpartum are my jam. I help you feel nourished, confident, and calm about food while you grow and care for a baby. In each session, you’ll leave with clear, evidence-based guidance, realistic meal ideas, and a simple plan with 1–3 doable steps that fit your time, energy, and budget. There’s so much we can achieve through nutrition! It’s the underestimated superpower for optimizing energy, mood, hormones, digestion, recovery - and brain development and milk supply!"
