After a life spent in New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania, I have relocated to Madison, Tennessee to be near family.

As an intensive care nurse, I planned to return to work 6 weeks after the birth of my first daughter, as I believed that I would be bored at home with a baby. No one told me that I would fall in love, and that my life would change completely. 47 years after that baby was born, I am as dedicated and passionate about natural birth and breastfeeding as ever. I look forward to more decades of sharing the joy of serving babies and their families.

Starting in 1971 as a LPN, I’ve worked in childbirth education and doula programs, clinics, homes, city and county health departments, hospitals, intensive care units, medical schools, and universities. I’ve worked in person and virtually. I have taught childbirth educators, dieticians, doulas, medical students and physicians, nurses and nursing students, midwives, social workers and therapists (OT, SLP, and RT).

I am a nurse, a lactation consultant, a bodyworker, a public speaker, an author and a teacher. I use aromatherapy, craniosacral therapy, homeopathy, integrative positional therapy and yoga in my work.

I have published 2 books: Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Breastfeeding Therapy, and Breastfeeding: An Owner’s Manual 2nd ed.
