Hi! I’m Amy!

I’m married to my high school sweetheart and we have been together since 1999 (babies back then). We were married in 2005 and have four beautiful children. I always wanted a big family and I definitely got what I was asking for. My son was born in 2009 and my daughters were born in 2011, 2012, and 2014. So yes, I had a lot of time either being pregnant or breastfeeding between 2011-2014!

I didn’t always know I wanted to be a lactation consultant, however, after I had my fourth baby I knew that my experiences and times spent with the amazing Lactation Consultants had made an unbelievable impact on me. I knew that without their support, guidance, and loving care I wouldn’t have been nearly as successful as I was each and every time I had a baby. Yes, even after the fourth kid, I still sought one on one support. You better believe it that I went to every single week of “boob group,” as we called it. The weekly support group meant community connection and I craved that. I still have people I keep in touch with from those groups.

My experiences with breastfeeding were all of over the place. I absolutely loved it and hated it some of the time, just like you might. I experienced every single complication under the sun. I also experienced so much deep in love connection with each of my kids. It’s like magic. I knew that my experiences could be used to guide and support others along their way as I have been supported. Wether it’s a phone call to trouble shoot challenges, or to offer encouragement and support, I love helping new and seasoned parents with their decision to breast/chest-feed.
