I mentioned we've relocated to lovely Nevada City but I haven't provided much of an introduction to my new community. I am a California native, a mom to a bright and loving little boy who is almost a year old, a wife to an engineer (those of you married to one will understand why that's worth mentioning), and a dedicated professional interested in helping families feed and nurture their babies in the healthiest way possible.

My vision for milksupport was to create a wide reaching support network including support groups, doulas, educators and consultants to aide in all aspects of infant feeding.  My work in the SF Bay Area fulfilled most of my dream and in time hopefully a new web will grow here too. 

My philosophy involves baby led feedings from birth throughout the first years.  Most healthy babies are the best at knowing what they need nutritionally. The trick is to learn how to listen to them.  If you pay close attention your baby will tell you all you need to know so long as she is full term and thriving.  For babies who need a little help, it brings me sincere joy to give parents extra guidance.

Collaborating with local practitioners who support natural methods of care provides my clients with the ultimate holistic approach.  The fields I most often call upon include acupuncture, cranio sacral therapy, chiropractic care and naturopathic MDs.

My intent is to help each family reach their individual goals rather than direct them to a generic goal.  I realize breastfeeding may not work for every family and I strive to approach every plan with an open mind.  The bottom line is to offer everyone support as needed.  For some that involves one phone call and for others it's the joy of being there from the day baby is born until baby weans. 

I welcome any opportunity to help you with your growing family.
