Hey There Aspiring IBCLC!

I'm honoured you're considering me as an IBCLC mentor! I know personally how challenging finding an IBCLC mentor can be, not to mention one who specializes in Exclusive Pumping. Please take a look at my bio and see if what I can offer you sounds like we might be a good fit.

About me

My breastfeeding story: Triple fed for 6 months while experiencing low supply (2015). Direct latched for 4 weeks, triple fed for 2 weeks, then exclusively pumped until 9 months while going from low supply to just enougher (2018). 

My lactation professional background: I'm currently an Education Director at the Canadian Lactation Consultants Association (CLCA). became an IBCLC in 2023. I was primarily mentored virtually through Liquid Gold Concept, with a chief IBCLC mentor with a PhD and an upcoming MD designation. I was also mentored virtually by IBCLCs throughout the US and Mexico obtaining my 500 clinical hours. In 2022, I became a Certified Advanced Lactation Specialist (cALS) through Liquid Gold Concept and completed an additional 103 clinical virtual hours with standardized patients. I also published in the peer-reviewed journal Clinical Lactation on Flange Sizing. In 2021, I became a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) through Healthy Children Project via the aggregate pathway. In 2020, I founded the Exclusive Pumping Institute for professionals, and in 2021, I launched Pumped Love for a more evidence-based take for exclusive pumpers.

​

My professional background: I work outside of being a Lactation Consultant, being a different type of LC, a Learning Consultant, for a Bank in Canada. I hold a PhD and MEd in Human Sexuality from Widener University, with a strong focus in HIV/AIDS education. In 2021, I became a Board-Certified Sexologist (ACS) through the American College of Sexologists.
