Hello and welcome! I'm Dr. Jess, and I'm thrilled you're here. My passion is empowering parents on their infant feeding journeys by offering expert guidance and compassionate support every step of the way.

While I deeply enjoy supporting all breastfeeding dyads, I bring a unique depth of experience to families facing more complex situations. My expertise truly shines in supporting infants with medically complex or hospitalized infants, particularly those with congenital heart defects. I understand the unique challenges these little (but mighty!) ones face, and I'm here to provide specialized, evidence-based care tailored to your specific needs.

My commitment and expertise has been shaped by a myriad of experiences that extend beyond my 14 years as a bedside nurse and lactation consultant in the neonatal, obstetric, and pediatric cardiac intensive care units.  As a PhD-prepared nurse scientist, I've dedicated much of my career to understanding and improving outcomes for mothers and babies. I also work at a non-profit maternal child public health organization, working to advocate for and improve health on a broader scale. Additionally, I'm the Community Engagement VP at a local donor milk bank, where I'm passionate about ensuring access to this vital resource for vulnerable infants.

I am here to help make your infant feeding experience as smooth and joyful as possible. No matter your circumstances or decisions, I'm here to listen, educate, and empower you with the knowledge and support you need to thrive.
