I support moms and families through postpartum recovery, lactation, infant feeding, pumping, flange fitting, and maternal wellness. My care is gentle, evidence-based, and culturally informed. I like to look at the bigger picture, not just one symptom. When needed, I connect postpartum concerns with labs such as iron/ferritin, vitamin D, thyroid, blood sugar, and other markers that may help explain fatigue, low supply, mood changes, or slow recovery. Through FullScript, I offer access to professional-grade supplements and wellness products with thoughtful recommendations based on each family’s needs, not random “take this because TikTok said so” supplement stacks.
