About Susan

With over 22 years of experience helping families feed babies, I am ready to help you work towards your breastfeeding goals. I am the mother of three children and originally from Los Angeles, California, having moved to NY in 1987 to attend graduate school.  I then relocated in West Hartford, CT, where I became La Leche League Leader and in 2002, I became an IBCLC  -- an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.

Testimonials

"Breastfeeding my newborn was painful before I called Susan.  She is a knowledgeable coach who provides guilt-free, no-nonsense lactation advice with the goal of keeping baby fed and mom relaxed and happy.  With her many years of experience and connections with other traditional and alternative health care providers, Susan identified a more complicated issue with my son and referred me to others who helped solve the problem.  She is a godsend!"
