A Bit About Me
Everybody has their own unique breastfeeding journey. I am the proud mother
of two children, Natalie and Nicholas. I breastfed them both and
found great joy and pride in my motherhood. Now that they are grown up, I find purpose in
helping new mothers find success in their breastfeeding journey.
