Lactation consultant
Jackie’s been married to the love of her life for 7 years. She’s got a little one of her own and has experienced the challenges that come along with nursing. She, too, has benefited from support of a lactation consultant. This experience helped Jackie to see the value of postpartum support for both mother and child. Jackie always knew that she wanted to work with children. While pursuing a degree in nutrition, she discovered a passion for helping other mothers latch and milk.
Jackie has a degree in Nutrition & Dietetics and is an International Board-CertifiedLactation Consultant. She has years of hands-on experience of helping tiny humans latch and parents stay (mostly) sane. Whether it’s cracked nipples, cluster feeding, or milk supply mysteries, she’s seen it all.
Jackie believes in judgement-free support and the magical powers of a good burp cloth. She provides compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each family’s unique needs. Jackie is dedicated to empowering parents with the knowledge and confidence to meet their feeding goals.
Let’s latch onto success… together! Reach out with your nursing questions. No shame, no pressure – just down-to-earth support, because feeding your baby shouldn’t suck (except for when it’s supposed to).

I work as a Midwife and assumed that when my first born came, I would know what to do and how to navigate breastfeeding. When my baby was born, breastfeeding was emotional, difficult, and I felt totally lost. Truthfully, I felt like a failure. Jackie came over to my home and held space for me to cry it out, express my frustrations and then got straight to working on helping me through my struggles. She was gentle, calming, and hands on with guiding me. After the first session, I was able to latch my baby consistently. By our third session, I was no longer using a nipple shield to nurse and felt so much more confident. I can easily say that Jackie is the reason I am able to breastfeed my baby and find joy in it. I would highly recommend her services if you’re looking for someone passionate, considerate and knowledgeable!!
