01 / About Dawn

More than Lactation

Throughout my 12 years of nursing and nearly a decade of lactation consulting, my work experience has spanned various U.S. regions, NICU and well-baby units, and included private practice home visits and telehealth, allowing me to effectively support mothers from diverse backgrounds. I understand firsthand how challenging the transition to motherhood can be. Before becoming a mother, I knew little about breastfeeding, but I was determined to make it work for the health of my child. My own struggles in those early days, compounded by the isolation and difficulty of the journey, fueled my desire to support other families. Becoming a mother was the most powerful transition of my life, and I now help other parents navigate their journeys. With my experience as a Nurse and Master of Public Health, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of how breastfeeding can impact long-term health outcomes, for individual families and entire community. This drives my passion to educate families on the lifelong benefits of breastfeeding, from boosting immunity in infancy to reducing chronic health risks later in life. I’m also passionate about helping families achieve their health goals and empowering businesses to foster a community that supports healthier, stronger families. My goal is to ensure no parent feels alone in their journey and that every family has the resources they need to thrive.
