Giving birth and nurturing your baby with your body is a monumental moment in life. The mother's journey is filled with ebbs and flows. More than growing the baby, the baby is growing us too. The most beautiful and challenging part of the journey is when growth is required in those places you navigate alone or in a much different way than you expected.

Providing the first food is one of the major milestones you and your baby will accomplish together.

More than growing the baby, the baby will grow you too. What will you learn on this amazing journey? What did you learn?

Breastfeeding education and support is an essential part of prenatal and postpartum care.

Breastfeeding and all the information available can be overwhelming. Together we create your own unique PATH Goals and Breastfeeding Plan.
