Compassionate, Evidence-Based Lactation Support for Sacramento Families

Personalized support for every aspect of your breastfeeding journey. Feeding your baby doesn’t always go according to plan, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.  I offer lactation consultations  in the comfort of your own home or  through convenient telehealth visits.    



Hi, I'm Laura.

I’m a Registered Nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) who believes that families deserve knowledgeable, compassionate care, and the space to make feeding decisions that work for them.

I provide evidence-based support that is individualized to each parent and baby. My approach is collaborative: we’ll work together to understand what’s happening, explore your options, and create a plan that feels realistic and right for your family.

It’s an honor to support parents during such an important, and often overwhelming, transition. My goal isn’t simply to help you feed your baby; it’s to help you feel heard, capable, and supported along the way.

How I can help

Prenatal Lactation Support

Prepare for breastfeeding with practical information about what to expect, feeding basics, position and latch, and a plan that fits your goals.

Newborn & Early Breastfeeding

Help with latch and positioning, painful feeding, feeding frequency, milk transfer, weight concerns, and building confidence.

Returning to Work

A practical plan for pumping, milk storage, maintaining supply, and transitioning between breastfeeding and bottles.

Ongoing Lactation Support

Follow-up care to troubleshoot as things change and adjust your plan as your baby grows.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to feeding a baby.

Your goals, your baby, your health, your schedule, and your family all matter. My role is to provide evidence-based information, listen to your concerns, and help you understand your options.

No judgment. No pressure. Just knowledgeable, individualized support.

What Families Are Saying

I highly recommend Laura for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate lactation consultant! She provided exceptional hands-on guidance through my personal breastfeeding journey, helping me navigate ongoing challenges with patience and practical solutions. She went above and beyond by providing in-home support, ensuring that my newborn daughter and I were comfortable and set up for success despite the challenges I was experiencing, including latch issues. I am truly grateful for her guidance and expertise.
