✨ Let’s Talk Candida & Breastfeeding ✨
Candida (often referred to as yeast) is an overgrowth of a naturally occurring organism that can affect breastfeeding mothers, especially the ni***es and breast tissue. When it shows up during lactation, it can cause persistent and often surprising pain that doesn’t always improve with latch adjustments alone.
Common symptoms for mom include:
• Itchy skin, particularly around the areolas
• Red or rashy skin on the areolas and ni***es
• Ashy or blanched appearance of the areolas and ni***es
• Sharp pain during feeds
• Electric or shooting pain during feeds
• Pain that radiates from the ni**le into the breast
• Pain that catches you off guard long after a feed has ended
As someone working in the more natural space of lactation support, I’ve seen great success when Candida is caught and treated early using supportive natural products and a targeted probiotic routine.
Of course, there are some heavy hitters in the allopathic world—and they absolutely have their place—but they’re often only necessary if a dyad doesn’t respond to more natural interventions first.
🤍 If these symptoms feel familiar, you don’t have to push through the pain alone.
Reach out to schedule an appointment, and let’s work together to get you some much-needed relief.

I will be moving offices. I loved my little sublet for the last year and am so grateful for the opportunity to flex my wings. I am excited and nervous about the change. I will be moving offices and will have the opportunity to serve more families and create a space that is welcoming and supportive. More info to come.

Someone asked me recently how many visits do I meet with clients? It varies! For 2024, my average visit families was 2! But I had many families that were a one and done. And many where I met with them for 4-6 visits. Whether I get to join your journey for one visit or many, it is an honor to be entrusted with assisting you and your little one meet your feeding goals. I love celebrating your success alongside you. I cherish being trusted when the advice may be to explore other feeding options. I’m here in your corner no matter the goal. Thank you for the very sweet review. It made my week! 🥰

I’m back! I recently took the last week off to go on a trip to celebrate 10 years of marriage. It was a much needed opportunity for my husband and I to connect and tend to our marriage garden. We have been together for 17 years and married for 10! It takes work and love to get here. We reflected that in the last 10 years we have set roots down in Bend, have 2 children and 3 pregnancies, I went back to grad school and changed careers, started my business, lost family and pets, gained more family and friends and so much more. Thank you for your patience as I was away. I am back, my cup is full and I am ready to support the amazing families in Central Oregon with their feeding goals.

✨ New Handout Alert ✨ Have you noticed changes in your milk supply since your cycle returned? You’re not alone. Hormones, supply and demand, and your baby’s changing needs all play a role - and it can get complicated. My new handout breaks down what to expect, how your period can affect your milk supply, and what you can do to support your body and your breastfeeding goals during this time. Let’s talk about how to reduce the impact of your cycle and keep your breastfeeding journey on track. Reach out today to schedule a visit!

✨ Grateful beyond words! ✨ Just received the sweetest review from a recently graduated client - and my heart is full. Supporting families on their feeding journey is more than a job; it truly is an honor. Watching parents grow in confidence and reach their goals is why I do what I do. To every family who invites me into their home and story: thank you for trusting me. Your success is empowering.

Y’all, this came today and I am SO excited. This Herbal Handbook by fellow IBCLC is one I’ve been eying for a while. In my practice, I have the honor of serving a wide range of families. The demand for evidence based guidance on more natural and herbal remedies is increasing and this resource is one I will be using daily. I am passionate about providing the best informed care to my families. And tools like this make me feel that much more confident in the guidance I provide. Time to geek out. 🥰

Today starts my attendance for the Gold Lactation Conference 2025. Over the next few weeks I will attend over 24 presentations covering a wide variety of topics related to challenges faced with infant feeding and breastfeeding. I am excited to be in a field that continues to challenge me to expand my knowledge and grow my ability to support families in meeting their feeding goals.

03/05/2025

New review incoming! Did y’all know I love my job? I get to work with some of my favorite people; new mamas and fresh babies. It is an honor to be entrusted to walk along side you in navigating your feeding goals. My aim is to help families be informed in their choices. Postpartum mental health is also a HUGE passion of mine. As a fellow mom and solopenuer (solo business owner) it means the world to me when you have a positive experience! And even more when you share it. I may cry each and every time one comes in 🥰. Thank you for trusting me.

I am so excited to announce I am officially signed up for the Gold Learning Lactation Conference! As an International Board Certified Lactation Counselor (IBCLC) it is my honor to serve families in navigating their feeding goals. I do that by staying up to date on continuing education and evidence based practice. It took me 1 year to get my Masters Certificate from Portland State University. An additional two years to complete my 500 hours of (unpaid) direct support clinical hours and 6 months on top of that to apply, sit and hear I passed my Board Certification Exam. All in, it took me almost 4 years to get my IBCLC and I had my son in the midst of my journey. All this to say, I am still as excited as ever to continue expanding my knowledge in breastfeeding and lactation support to better serve my clients. I can’t wait to nerd out with my fellow attendees.
