Hi, I'm Dana.
I’ve been where you are: sore, unsure, googling at 3 a.m., wondering if I was doing it right. Wondering if I was enough. Through four very different babies, I’ve experienced the highs and lows of postpartum and breastfeeding: latch struggles, supply worries, triple feeding, mastitis, pain, and tears… but also the deep joy of finding my rhythm and watching my babies thrive.
Over the years, I’ve lived in a handful of cities, and no matter where I was, one thing stayed the same: my dream to support other moms the way lactation consultants once supported me. Their presence changed everything, and now it’s my turn to do that for you.
This work is personal. I’m not here to give you a generic plan; I’m here to walk with you through the hard moments, help you trust your body, and make sure you feel seen and supported every step of the way.

Check out some Frequently Asked Questions below:
Please contact me if you don’t see your question answered.
What areas do you serve for in-person visits?
I offer in-home lactation support for families in Birmingham and surrounding areas. If you're outside of this area, feel free to reach out—I may still be able to accommodate you or offer virtual support.
When should I schedule my first visit?
Ideally, we meet within the first few days after birth. But it’s never too late—I support babies from birth through weaning. If you're struggling, overwhelmed, or just want reassurance, reach out. I can usually schedule urgent visits quickly.
Are your services covered by insurance?
I do not bill insurance directly, but I provide superbills upon request, which you can submit for potential reimbursement depending on your plan. HSA/FSA cards are often accepted.
Do you help with pumping, bottle feeding, or combo feeding?
Absolutely. Whether you're exclusively breastfeeding, pumping, combo feeding, or preparing to return to work, I offer support for it all—including choosing the right pump and flange size, building a freezer stash, and introducing a bottle with confidence.
