After navigating exclusive pumping with her first son and overcoming oral restrictions and successfully breastfeeding her second, she is passionate about helping mothers achieve their breastfeeding goals no matter what they may be. One of her favorite quotes by Gina Carey is "A strong woman looks challenge dead in the eye and gives it a wink." That is the mindset she takes with achieving her personal goals and helping you achieve yours.
