My first profession was as a Physical Therapist however after 10 years of practicing in all disciplines including Women's Health for many of those years, I came to realize and find my true passion, Lactation Consulting. It was through my sister's struggles trying to nurse premature babies that I initially realized my love for this profession and I wanted to get certified to help as many new and seasoned Moms as I could. It wasn't until I had my own that I came to understood the real commitment it takes, the struggles you have and the desire to do your absolute best for these new little lives you are responsible for. I have been a International Board Certified Lactation Consultant since 2009 and working to empower Moms and helping babies breastfeed since 2007. Together with my husband, I am the proud Momma of exclusively breastfed twin boys and a girl.

I am a certified postpartum doula, a certified breastfeeding counselor, I teach pre/postnatal yoga, I am a new mom's group facilitator and a mom to an amazing 6 year old. My passion and fascination with all things moms, babies, and kids has put me on the path of providing open-minded support to my clients and students whatever their choices may be.

I'm a board certified NY State acupuncturist who specializes in family care - including women's health, fertility, postpartum care and pediatrics. I reside in downtown Manhattan, but I am happy to make house calls when needed. I enjoy working with new parents and helping them along the way.

I am prenatal and postpartum chef, herbalist and yoga teacher. I believe that whole foods and plants are our greatest healers. I feel continually awed by all aspects of birth; serving families during this incredible time in life and helping them thrive is truly my passion.

I'm one of those lucky people who gets to do what I love. I work with pregnant women, new moms and babies. Pregnancy is such a special time in a women's life and I feel privileged to be part of it. With pregnancy your body goes through so many changes both physical and hormonal. I use massage to provide relief from pain and reduce stress. I also offer nutritional consulting for pregnant women making sure they have the nutritional support needed for the healthy growth and development of their baby. I love meeting new people and sharing experiences. I live in Jersey City. I love cooking, reading, yoga and traveling. Being outdoors feeds my spirit.

I offer yoga and mindfulness meditation for women who are trying to become pregnant, are expecting and new moms. As you navigate this journey, the techniques I teach show you how to stay present, be strong (both physically and mentally), self-care, and remaining grounded throughout this profoundly incredible experience. My path to yoga started as an undergrad when I took my first yoga class, and as cliche as it may sound, I was hooked; I enjoyed the gentle flow from pose to pose as well as the inner peace I felt at the end of class by being able to let go of things. When I began thinking about becoming a mom, I started a prenatal yoga teacher training, so I could become more informed about the whole experience.. I wasn't sure if I would ever teach classes. It took me nearly three years to become pregnant, and included multiple interventions: IUIs, IVFs, weekly acupuncture, mindfulness meditation, and especially yoga for fertility, which I researched and taught myself. Yoga offered me gentle movement and a safe place to be with what was going on. After going through this very intense and emotional journey to become a mama, I decided to finish my Prenatal yoga teacher training in order to offer moms-to-be guidance on their journey to motherhood.

I am passionate about breastfeeding and am conscious of the complexities of the breastfeeding relationship. I have three children and had varying experiences with all three of them. I have always loved babies and thrilled to have found a career that is focused on new families.

I am co-owner of Jump Ahead Pediatrics in Jersey City, Little Falls, and Roseland, NJ. I am an occupational therapist, wife to a police officer, and mama to a spunky 2 y/o boy :)
