Shelly

I have been an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) for one year, and I have worked as a lactation specialist in hospital since 2018. There are no fees associated within a 30 minute commute of Davis County.

I am available for call or text after our appointments with questions or concerns.

When I had my first child I thought I knew it all from being a postpartum nurse. I was wrong! When I got home from the hospital I dealt with oversupply and engorgement problems. We lived in another state and had no family near. In need of help, I searched online for easy fixes and ended up with a lot of different answers. I found myself confused about solutions and wishing that I knew more. This fueled my passion to be a resource for new parents in their prenatal and postnatal breastfeeding journeys. 

 What I'll bring to your lactation journey:

As a Registered Nurse and Lactation Consultant I bring many years of experience working with babies in the hospital and NICU settings. I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. I have a deep understanding of breastfeeding techniques, infant feeding behaviors, and common challenges that new mothers may face.

My compassionate and nurturing approach allows me to support and empower mothers during this important and sometimes challenging time. I am dedicated to promoting and protecting breastfeeding as the optimal mode of infant nutrition. I am committed to helping mothers achieve their breastfeeding goals. 

I specialize in prenatal consults, oral restrictions and assessment, latching difficulties, and milk supply concerns.
