Our
Story
Get to Know Us
As a life longer learner, I fell in love with occupational therapy in high school when volunteering at a summer camp outpatient pediatric clinic. Once I saw what occupational therapists can do to assist children in creative ways, I found myself immersed in all things occupational therapy and knew this was a possible calling.
Fast forward to my acceptance into occupational therapy school in Nevada; I enjoyed every moment of this journey and just happened to meet my prince charming along the way. We settled our roots here in Nevada.
Then came our first child. Nothing prepares you for becoming a parent and we realized as a family the lack of resources in Nevada when it comes to maternal health and education, lactation being one of the hindered areas.
I decided to go back to school for lactation due to my struggles and personal breastfeeding journey with my first child. Continuing, the ever flowing nuances in my second child, I found a different love and beauty during breastfeeding. I wanted to educate myself in lactation and help others in my community in this specific way.
