ALL ABOUT ME

My story begins with my personal goals in life...

1. To be a successful DPT

2. To be a caring Mother

3. To support other Mothers

​

Little did I know what it would take to achieve these things. Let alone the added challenges that would later prosper into something more. After completing PT school, working in some difficult environments, and coming across other therapists successfully treating children-- I found my niche! Becoming a Mother has helped me grow even further as an individual to love and support my family through these passions. My evolving career and belief in myself, continued my drive to learn more. It wasn't until after my first son was born, did I realize-- I'm lost!!

​

I had a screaming baby from 6pm-1am. A body that was foreign to me. Things leaking everywhere. Hormones making me fragile. And for once, I had no clue what I was doing or how to be a Mom. Breastfeeding support, a pediatrician who goes beyond our expectations, friends who successfully breastfed and parent-- it took a rough patch to gain my perspective to maternal growth through these resources.

​

Over a year later, my curiosity grew for the lactation world. How can I help those in that time of need? I am seeing children with physical barriers, no wonder these Mother's are struggling-- I need to bridge this gap!! The Breastfeeding Support I received as a new Mother help pave my path beginning with 52 hour course with the Healthy Children's Project, the CLC Certification Exam, countless continuing education courses, and the start of Root Lactation, LLC.

​

My down time now is consumed with my family and my business. It is my passion. It is part of me. It is my duty to help give back to our community.
