5 years Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant
As both a mother and a nurse, I’ve seen how profoundly the right support can shape pregnancy, birth, and the months that follow. Today’s breast milk journeys are rarely just breastfeeding. Modern families often navigate breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, and wearable pumps—making expert guidance in both infant feeding and breast pump science more valuable than ever.
Your lactation support team is one of the most meaningful investments you can make. Research consistently shows mothers identify professional breastfeeding support as one of the services they most wish they had received.
Long after the baby gear is outgrown, the confidence you gain, the challenges you overcome, and the memories you create while nourishing your baby remain. Invest in expert support that protects your breast milk journey and brings lasting peace of mind—because you and your baby deserve nothing less.
Helping Families Manage Breast Milk Journeys With Ease
A Different kind of lactation support
Invest in confidence before your baby is born
Breastfeeding is natural, but it is also a learned skill for both mother and baby. While many parents are told breastfeeding will be intuitive and pumping is as simple as pressing the "start" button, most have never been taught how to establish a comfortable latch, build and protect milk supply, or confidently use today's breast pumps. Preparing before your baby arrives can make all the difference.
Even if you've breastfed before, every baby ~ and every feeding journey ~ is different. While hospitals often provide valuable lactation support, that care may be limited by time, availability, or the ability to provide individualized guidance for the wide variety of personal and wearable breast pumps families use after discharge. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that although nearly 86% of U.S. mothers begin breastfeeding, only about one in four infants are exclusively breastfed for the recommended first six months, underscoring the importance of ongoing education and skilled support.
At The Art of Lactation, I offer personalized prenatal preparation and continued postpartum care, providing expert guidance before challenges arise and compassionate support when they do. My goal is to help you achieve the feeding experience you envision ~ with confidence, clarity, and a trusted partner by your side from pregnancy through weaning.
You're right, we were never taught this!

I can’t say enough good things about Mary Anne. She was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable, and made me feel completely supported during a time that felt overwhelming. She took time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and never made me feel rushed or judged. Her guidance made such a difference in my breastfeeding and pumping journey and I’m so grateful for her care and encouragement. I would highly recommend her to any new or even experienced parent!

I am extremely grateful to have been able to find and work with Mary Anne! At six months postpartum and returning to work, my milk supply hit a dramatic decline. I was frustrated and deeply wanted to continue nursing and bottle feeding my son breastmilk without having to supplement with my freezer stash or formula. Mary Anne was able to immediately identify errors and improvements in my nursing and pumping regime. She prioritized a home visit in which we reviewed my flange size, different pumping parts, a revised pumping and nursing schedule, and much more! Mary Anne is undoubtedly an expert in her field. Through her kindness, support, and wisdom, I am now pumping at a surplus when away from my son and able to exclusively breastfeed when we are together. With Mary Anne’s consult and continued check-ins, I feel confident in my breastfeeding journey and thoroughly supported!

Mary Anne was an absolute delight during our stay at the hospital. She was so personable and we felt like she truly sought to understand us, our goals, and parenting style. She shared so many helpful tips of what she’d learned through her own parenting journey and medical training. She made our breastfeeding experience start off with a lot more confidence than we would have without her. She was a standout from your already incredible team. We could tell she loves her work and her patients. Please give Mary Anne our heartfelt thanks!

I had the privilege of working with Mary Anne for four years, and I saw firsthand how much passion she has for helping new mothers. She is incredibly passionate about supporting families and approaches every interaction with care and respect. Her knowledge and professionalism make her a steady, trustworthy presence, especially during what can be a vulnerable time for new parents. Families feel truly heard and supported by her. I would confidently recommend Mary Anne to anyone looking for compassionate, skilled lactation support.
