After EVERYTHING La Leche League has given me over the years, I cannot be more ecstatic about the opportunity to return the love, time, and energy! After working in the medical field for years, motherhood brought light to my true passion – birth work and mother support. The core of this passion is mother-to-mother support! La Leche speaks to my soul!
My days are filled with wonderful moments with my family. My husband Brendan has supported me and challenged me in the best ways possible. Together we have 3 amazing children – Tristan is an inquisitive 5 year old, Adelle is an effervescent 3 year old, and Forrest is an energetic 1 year old. I fill my heart and ‘free time’ with doula work, educating through Babyweaing International of Northern Colorado, and volunteering at my children’s schools.
Through my 6 years {and counting} of nursing I have been though many struggles, and have had the most magical of moments. Now, I am extremely proud to serve as a volunteer leader for such a wonderful organization! I look forward to sharing my love for breastfeeding and my trust in LLL philosophies with the Fort Collins community. I hope to see new faces at meetings, hear from mothers though phone, email, and Facebook, organize fun events for the whole family, and make connections with all the breastfeeding supportive providers in our area!
