born and raised, I lived for over a decade in the greater Washington, DC area before returning home to Northeast Ohio with my growing family. I was working as an oncology nurse when my first child was born and although I had planned to exclusively breastfeed, we struggled and stumbled. I did a lot of things that made it harder on myself and I can help you avoid some of those same mistakes. After becoming comfortable and confident with breastfeeding, I decided I wanted to support and empower parents in their breastfeeding experiences. I set my sights on becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I am a mama of four. And I’ve been breastfeeding since March 2014 - yup that’s right, I’ve been breastfeeding one or the other of my four babies for over TWELVE YEARS! That’s about a bazillion hours of personal breastfeeding experience plus my clinical knowledge all available to you. Breastfeeding my children has been the pleasure of a lifetime and I look forward to helping you meet your goals with feeding your child. https://www.summitlactation.com/reviews-3 daily 0.75 2021-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f30515c09faa7776375e883/1630421570746-UMNVURAJZD49447PB4I1/unsplash-image-32_sJlJa5gA.jpg Testimonials I wanted to let you know that my daughter nursed all weekend, with no bottles! I know when you came over a few weeks ago you said that you wished that you could help more, or have a magic wand haha but I wanted to let you know that everything that you offered was helpful! Even just offering me support and letting me know that I was doing everything right was helpful in building my confidence to be able to nurse my daughter. I was dancing the delicate balance between wanting to keep trying and surrendering that maybe it wasn’t meant for us, and you helped support me and let me know that no matter what decision I made it was the right one. I think this took a lot of stress off that I had been placing on both myself and my daughter and once we felt less stressed we were able to actually connect and start nursing. Thank you for everything! - A. S. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f30515c09faa7776375e883/1630177205103-LC5SKNR78KU3F2J4W9JY/unsplash-image-5zp0jym2w9M.jpg Testimonials - “My son was born at 29 weeks as a preemie and he stayed in NICU for 50 days. I also had several pregnancy complications resulting in a difficulty to initiate breastfeeding, even breast pumping. One day I had a very rough day because of my decelerated condition requesting for more medical care. Anne visited my room that night and she shared her experiences. Anne encouraged me to start very small steps for breastfeeding. Her kind and warm messages were unforgettable. She is very knowledgeable and professional. Her kindness and caring helped me to start breastfeeding journey even though I had separation anxiety from my baby’s NICU staying. If you have to choose only one lactation consultant, it should be Anne.” — H.

She was available when we needed her most, in a different state and time zone. We had so many questions & no real idea of where to begin. Anne helped us gain our footing & set us on the right track. I am so grateful for her brain!” — A. H. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f30515c09faa7776375e883/1630177343832-H0HP94QZ6L0OVR1YUWVK/unsplash-image-z5N4Fba7coA.jpg Testimonials - “Anne was the absolute best lactation consultant I had after I had my daughter. She offers invaluable advice & is very knowledgeable. Anne was by far one of my biggest supporters & made sure I knew I could breastfeed as long or as short as I wanted to. She was available for any question I had, no matter how trivial it may have been. She made my journey feel personal to me, even there are so many women who struggle with breastfeeding. My daughter nursed for 13 months (& stopped on her own) & it would not have been possible without Anne’s help.” — S. H. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f30515c09faa7776375e883/1630177571646-HZFKDVYXZFQPT7TMNW70/unsplash-image-kd3qRzgEl70.jpg Testimonials - “I had my baby four months ago and I had no idea how challenging the journey with breastfeeding would be. When I reached out to Anne I was exhausted, overwhelmed and depressed so I didn’t have much hope in another person making a difference for me. However, she said and did exactly what I needed to hear, she provided the right resources and at the end when I decided that breastfeeding just wasn’t right for me after two months of trying she was nothing but supportive and understanding. I just had my first baby, guess who will be my lactation consult text time around? Anne is the best and I’m a nurse, I worked with other consultants before so my bar is high!” — K. S. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f30515c09faa7776375e883/1630177665564-4RKXRK06W1G36UGNTERZ/unsplash-image-MB9sdDfZMSg.jpg Testimonials - “I thought I was good after nursing my first daughter for 24 months but my second child was so different! Anne helped as an amazing friend to problem solve why my daughter was always choking and/or clicking during our sessions. With the help of some of her detailed suggestions (virtually), I was able to see her have more comfortable feeds. Thank you Anne for you passion, knowledge, and support to so many of us mamas! You're the best!” — L.

IBCLC stands for International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. An IBCLC is a healthcare professional who specializes in the clinical management of human lactation and breastfeeding. The IBCLC certification is the gold-standard in professional lactation support, requiring the most classroom and hands-on education and experience of any breastfeeding support certification. Breastfeeding is an art and a science; IBCLCs specialize in both. https://www.summitlactation.com/new-parent-guides daily 0.75 2026-03-09 https://www.summitlactation.com/services-new-032026 daily 0.75 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f30515c09faa7776375e883/1773084244281-98Y8NITSCK3U9MFC0Q97/unsplash-image-I0p_LTtA9yI.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f30515c09faa7776375e883/1773083714610-2JTAQIBPOTAPP1R36QLF/unsplash-image-eWeLO3KR6fo.jpg
