About
My name is Laura and I am so excited to offer you in-home and virtual lactation consults and education. As a mother of three, I know how challenging breastfeeding can be. My breastfeeding experiences were different each time and it was the education and expert lactation support that I received through each one, that helped give me the confidence I needed to be successful. I hope to be that support to you and your family as you welcome your new baby.
​
I provide in-person lactation consultations in Bishop, CA, serving families throughout Inyo County and Mono County, and offer virtual lactation support worldwide.
