Nurtured Beginnings
As a private practice pediatric nurse practitioner/IBCLC, I provide advanced lactation support to moms and babies in the central Illinois area. I have been in practice for 24 years, and have supported thousands and thousands of moms and babies in their breastfeeding journeys.

I learn from each baby I work with, particularly infants with tethered oral tissues. After I diagnose TOTs, I guide parents through referral to expert providers, then oral rehabilitation and supporting sucking skills following tongue tie release.
