Meet Julie
Julie is a seasoned healthcare professional with a background in pediatric nursing since 2007 and a certified Lactation Consultant since 2014. She’s also a mother of four beautiful kids.
Like many in the field of lactation consulting, Julie chose this profession as a means of personal healing after exepriencing birth trauma and breastfeeding challenges. Specializing in assisting new parents immersed in the haze of sleep exhaustion, she empathizes with the profound difficulty they face. Acknowledging the true sense of helplessness that accompanies challenges in the fundamental act of feeding a baby, she offers support to parents in their journey.
Julie’s approach to lactation places a high value on mental and emotional health, recognizing these as integral aspects of parenting that shape and guide all other decisions.
“Julie's guidance has been invaluable. She not only helped me navigate the challenges of lactation but also fostered a profound connection between me and my baby. Her vulnerability, support, and unconditional love make this journey transformative.”
