I am Ashley and I am a caring and compassionate lactation consultant that was inspired to enter lactation consulting after my first failed attempt to breastfeed my oldest daughter. After diving into breastfeeding education, I successfully breastfed my youngest son for sixteen months with the help of an amazing lactation consultant (see, even lactation consultants need lactation consultants).
In 2020, I completed a Doctorate of Public Health degree where my research focused on breastfeeding success. I have been working in higher education for the past six years, while volunteering for a breastfeeding organization. In September of 2020, I sat for and passed the IBCLC exam. In July 2021, I completed my Certified Lactation Educator training and in 2022 I also became a certified labor doula.
I am originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania and currently reside in Brooklyn, New York with my husband and two children. Living in NYC, I do have some favorite places including the MET and the American Museum of Natural History (because it’s my daughter’s favorite).
