Lactation Help for Portland & Surrounding Areas
Compassionate, judgment free lactation support for every experience and every family.
Feeding looks different for everyone. Whether you're a single parent, a same-sex couple, a first-time family, or anything in between, you'll find a warm, inclusive space here.
1–1.5 hour visit in your own home. I will assess latch, positioning, milk transfer, and create a personalized care plan together.
Connect from anywhere via video. Ideal for quick check-in visits, or visits where parents would like questions answered that don't need hands-on assessments.
Get a head start before baby arrives. I will cover what to expect, how to prepare, and answer all your questions so you feel confident and ready.
Navigating pumping schedules, supply concerns, or heading back to work? We'll work together and build a plan that fits with your life.
Birth and lactation work, for me, offers a space to provide positive, person-centered care that empowers and uplifts families. My goal for clients are for them to feel held, seen, supported, and powerful.
I am a graduate of Birthingway College of Midwifery with a degree in midwifery, and have been serving families in community and hospital birth settings since 2017. In addition to working alongside Angela Truby at Glow Midwifery as an assistant midwife, I also served coastal families through my own practice, Harbor Midwifery.
Recently, I earned my IBCLC credential to further expand the care I provide to families. Throughout my years in practice, I saw a significant need for deeper lactation support and found myself wanting to offer more comprehensive care rather than referring clients elsewhere for feeding challenges. Becoming an IBCLC has allowed me to better support families throughout their feeding journeys and continue providing the individualized, relationship-centered care that is so important to me.
Born and raised in Oregon, I moved to Portland and have enjoyed a varied professional career including working as a chef, nanny, motorcycle instructor, midwife, and now lactation consultant. When not attending births, I spend my time engaged in various projects and learning ventures: stained glass crafting, singing in a choir, banjo picking, and my personal favorite — collecting new hobbies. For me, both professionally and personally, the excitement of change and the challenge of being flexible keep me engaged and refreshed.
In addition to providing lactation support and placental encapsulation services through Umbrella Lactation, I continue to attend births with Angela Truby at Glow Midwifery. You can find her at www.glowmidwifery.com.
