Beyond troubleshooting feeding challenges, my role is to empower mothers with knowledge. I want you to make informed decisions and feel confident in your ability to nourish your infant(s). No matter how you choose to feed your baby, I am here to help.
I am delighted to offer comprehensive and personalized mental health support in the postpartum period. My aim is to promote emotional well-being, strengthen the parent-child bond, and contribute to the overall health and happiness of families during this transformative phase of life.
Welcome -
Navigating the uncertainties of parenthood—whether it’s your first or fifth child—alongside challenges like postpartum recovery and breastfeeding can be incredibly overwhelming. As a mental health nurse with nearly 20 years in child and adolescent mental health and my extensive experience as a lactation consultant spans diverse settings—from NICUs to postpartum units, outpatient clinics, and home visits, I've dedicated myself to supporting families through these journeys. I often remind new parents that while breastfeeding is natural, it's not always easy. Together, we're on the same team with a shared goal: to support you in achieving your breastfeeding and mental health goals.

"As a second time mom who struggled to breastfeed, Melanie was kind and attentive throughout the entire process when I reached out for her expertise. She provided great advice to help my baby latch and followed up with me regularly to ensure I was still on track. I felt reassured and she was great at answering all my questions. Melanie is an excellent lactation consultant. Thank you for helping me through this difficult process and achieving my breastfeeding goal!"
"Melanie has been a tremendous help in my breastfeeding journey. Even though this is my second baby, every baby is different and she has been there to help me get the proper latch. She has guided and shown me how to achieve the perfect latch. Suggested different feeding positions if a certain position wasn't working for me. Thank you Melanie for all your help"
"Being a first-time mom, breastfeeding was single handedly the most difficult part of my journey. Not knowing what I was supposed to do, how I was supposed to do it, or what to expect. There were a million questions I didn't even know I needed to ask. That's when I decided to reach out to a lactation consultant. I am so thankful and blessed to have had Melanie be my guide during such a stressful time. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable, she was also compassionate, understanding, emotionally supportive, not judgmental, and above all, had so much patience when it came to answering all my questions and concerns. She was professional during consultations and catered her recommendations based on my needs during our one on one sessions. She made me feel comfortable, and her technique was gentle and effective. She is someone I would highly recommend and will be reaching out to her myself for baby number 2."
