About ALBA Lactation

International Certified Lactation Consultant
ALBA exists because I understand firsthand how challenging the transition to motherhood can be. Before becoming a mother, I knew little about breastfeeding, but I was determined to make it work for the health of my child. My own struggles in those early days, compounded by the isolation and difficulty of the journey, fueled my desire to support other families. Becoming a mother was the most powerful transition of my life, and I want to help other parents navigate that journey. With my experience as a nurse and Master of Public Health, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of how breastfeeding
can impact long-term health outcomes, both for mothers and children. This drives my passion to educate families on the lifelong benefits of breastfeeding, from boosting immunity in infancy to reducing chronic health risks later in life. I’m also passionate about helping families achieve their health goals and empowering businesses to foster a community that supports healthier, stronger families. My goal is to ensure no parent feels alone in their journey and that every family has the resources they need to thrive.
