I'm here to help you feel comfortable with your body and feeding your baby. Education is power! I want you to be prepared and feel comfortable with putting baby to breast. It is in your best interest to be mentally prepared for delivery and the "4th Trimester."

There are a few necessary items to be prepared with for breastfeeding. What's not really necessary? We can discuss that.

Once mom has established care at Integrative Family medicine, they can prescribe ointments or prescriptions that I encourage- in case you have yeast or need lab work for low milk supply.

Nothing like seamless care, all of us working together on the same team for the goal of better health for your child (and you)!

​Integrative Medicine is healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person, including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and patient, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapies, traditional and non-traditional. We often say that we bridge the gap between traditional and functional medicine, because we treat common medical conditions with new, effective therapies not commonly found in your regular doctor’s office.
