About Cristina
I began my journey in motherhood 19 months ago when my sweet girl Finley Rose was born. My passion for breastfeeding did not happen overnight as I originally thought it would. It took months to develop my confidence in nursing after the many challenges I faced when learning the intricacies of nursing and being a first time mother. Now after having my sweet boy Jackson Thomas who is one month old, my skills as a lactation consultant have come in handy more than I could have ever imagined. My personal journey breastfeeding inspired me to help other moms navigate the many ups and downs of breastfeeding which is why I decided to fulfill one of my goals of becoming a lactation consultant. My mission as a Certified Lactation Counselor is to help provide guidance and confidence to new mothers while also creating a space where women feel supported throughout every phase of pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood. My goal is to provide emotional support throughout the breastfeeding journey and ultimately help mothers find their happiness in nourishing their baby while learning to find their own "groove" with nursing.
