As a Registered Nurse and mother of
three breastfed children, I also maintain current
certification as a Lactation Consultant. I have
specialized in Maternal Child Nursing in a hospital setting
for fourteen years, with eight years as a charge nurse on
the Obstetrical Unit. I developed and managed the Lactation
Program and provided Childbirth Education at Dekalb BMC in
Fort Payne, Alabama. In 1999, I entered my private practice.
I have had extensive experience counseling breastfeeding
mothers since 1985, and I am currently a member of the
Alabama Breastfeeding Coalition.
Family
God has blessed me with three
incredible sons, Grant and Brock whom I now homeschool,
and Lance whom I am currently breastfeeding and a wonderful
husband, Ronnie that has shown tremendous support as I
became a stay-at-home Mom and began my private practice.
Goals
My ultimate goal as a Lactation
Consultant is to help women have a breastfeeding experience
that is spiritually, emotionally and physically fulfilling.
I give God all the glory for placing this passion within me
to assist mothers with breastfeeding. With my services, I
want to enable both the breast feeding mother and her baby
to thrive in health and happiness.
This
Website
My prayer is that this website will
be a place of support for many breastfeeding Moms. The
products offered with Mothering From The Heart have been
personal favorites of mine and have been used by many of my
clients. I will offer only what I feel is of the highest
quality.
