| Introduction | My passion for education led me to teach and administrate for 17 years. When I started a family my desire switched from CEO to MOM. I quickly realized my children were my first priority and anyone could be hired to replace me in any job—except for parenting, so I traded in my lectern for a rocking chair. I had a desire to empower other women to have the birth and breastfeeding experiences they wanted. I became an IBCLC, and on a mission to advocate for women, and to protect their birth experiences, I pursued my Doula Certification. I continue my work educating others through the Grow Our Own LC/IBCLC Prep Course curriculum I created. It has been used to educate hundreds who aspire to grow in lactation knowledge. Currently, I teach, attend births, facilitate lactation clinics, and advocate for women in California. My first children's book, Mommy Feeds Baby/Mama alimenta al Bebe was published this year. |
