ABOUT ME
I am a mother of 3 boys and a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC). My goal is to support women as they breastfeed their babies because of the tremendous benefits of nursing for both mama and baby, and also because much of our generational wisdom about how to care for our children and ourselves has been lost in the shuffle of modern society. I have 7 years of breastfeeding experience (and counting…).
My background is eclectic which enables me to approach challenges with my clients from a variety of angles. I am a reiki practitioner and a wedding officiant, so I am practiced at listening to clients and guiding them through emotional peaks and valleys. I am also a professional actress, screenwriter and filmmaker by training and trade, so I have a deep respect for the stories we tell - about ourselves, about what is possible, and about who we are. I’d love to help you take the reins of your story of motherhood.
My Philosophy in Four Parts
-
Nurturing the Mother
Mental Wellness
Having a baby can rock your world and breastfeeding can come with a variety of challenges. Sometimes we as mamas feel bad that something so natural doesn’t come naturally and it can help to talk about these fears and anxieties with someone who understands. -
Supporting the Family
Goals
Every mother has different goals and dreams for her breastfeeding relationship with her new baby. We at Elevation want to support you and your family as you nurse your baby for as long as you want to. -
Hearing the Mother, Seeing the Baby
Challenges & Doubts
If you're new to breastfeeding or even if you're running into new challenges with your second, third, fourth (or beyond!) baby, it can help to have a Certified Lactation Counselor come check things out. We look at things like baby's latch, baby's weight, and baby's behavior at the breast to get an accurate picture of what's going on so we can support your breastfeeding goals. -
Educating (Hopefully!) Everyone
Sharing a Wealth of Information
Did you know that breast size has nothing to do with how much milk a woman makes? Did you know that mothers who breastfeed have reduced risk of cancer and diabetes? Elevation Mothering provides classes, resources, and information to promote and support breastfeeding in Archuleta County, The Four Corners area and beyond.
I’d love to help you on your breastfeeding journey.
