You Deserve Support…

That Feels Like a Deep Breath

Feeding your baby is one of the most personal, challenging, and vulnerable things you’ll ever do. It’s also one of the most confusing, it certainly was for me. Whether you’re preparing to breastfeed, combo feed, pump, supplement, or wean — the expectations and opinions can feel endless.

That’s where I come in.

Hi, I’m Hannah.

I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Registered Dietitian (RD), have a MPH in Maternal and Child Health. I’m also a mom of three, and I’ve walked the road you’re on — professionally and personally. With more than 15 years of clinical experience and the lived experience of feeding three very different babies, I bring a blend of clinical expertise, heartfelt compassion, and nonjudgmental support to every family I work with.

I believe…

There is no one right way to feed your baby.

In treating you the way you want to be treated.

In your intuition.

Your goals matter most.

It is a privilege to get to support you.

Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or somewhere in between, you deserve support that’s grounded in evidence, empathy, and lived experience. I will give you the concierge attention that you deserve in the convenience of your home.

Influences & Training

I learned from the best of the best, sitting at the heels of Mary Rose Tully and Miriam Labbok in grad school, growing in my early years with the expert UNC LC’s, SLP’s & MD’s, and continuing today with my incredible Triangle area outpatient LC colleagues in private practice. I have also had the incredible opportunity to be a part of Dr Holman’s team, providing support to babies suspected to have lip and/or tongue ties.

After more than a decade supporting families at UNC Hospital — from NICU babies to outpatient postpartum visits — and years spent improving access to lactation and nutrition support in public health settings, I started my private practice in 2023.

My clinical experience is backed by the kind of knowledge only parenthood can teach you: the 2:00am feeds, the doubt, the tears, the little wins, and the deep desire to do what’s best for your baby and somehow also yourself.

I created this practice to provide a space where families feel seen, supported, and informed — no matter how they feed and how they feel. Humility, trauma-informed care, and consent guide my practice.

 

I’m proud to live and work in Rougemont, North Carolina and serve families throughout Durham County, Orange County, and the broader Triangle. I know the local hospitals, the area birth professionals, and the challenges local families face — because I’m a part of this community, too.

I am well-traveled North Carolina native who attend Meredith College in Raleigh, NC for undergrad and UNC Chapel Hill for my MPH in Maternal and Child Health.
