My Experience
I earned my MA degree in Health and Wellness with a focus in Lactation, completed a 300-hour internship, and became an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2019.
In 2022, I enrolled in the IBCLC Masterclass (Oral Habilitation for the Breastfeeding Dyad) and became one of three IBCLC's in the state of IA and one of thirteen IBCLC's in WI to complete this course and gain extensive knowledge of working with babies who have tongue and lip tie issues and other oral function struggles. Previously, I was a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor for WIC for seven years and a Certified Lactation Counselor for three years.
