About Me

Mother-Wife-Daughter-Sister-Aunt-Nutritionist-CLC

​

Even before I became a mother to my two daughters, I always had a maternal side and loved caring for others.  While in my undergrad program for Nutrition and Dietetics, I learned about the wonderful ways in which a woman's body not only grows a life, but then nourishes it!  My passion for nutrition soon went hand in hand with breastfeeding and I became a Certified Lactation Counselor a few years after receiving my Bachelor's of Science from Colorado State University. From there, I worked at a Head Start program in Denver, teaching families the importance of breastfeeding and nutrition for their children.  Currently, and for the last 6 years, I have been teaching nutrition/cooking classes for families and Early Childhood teachers across the state of Colorado, while working with ECE programs to become "Breastfeeding Friendly."

​

For the past five years I have been either pregnant and/or breastfeeding and have experienced many of the challenges that come along with growing and feeding babies!  I look forward to sharing my personal successes as well as my professional knowledge to meet the individual needs you might have in your postpartum journey.
