Supporting families through the joys and challenges of infant feeding.
About Erica
As a dedicated RN since 2005 and Lactation Consultant my goal is to hold families in a caring, attuned space during a time that can be full of both joy and difficulty, so gratifying and yet also isolating. I am a forever student – seeking to further my understanding, education, and deepen my skills so that I can better serve those who are seeking care to feed their babies.
​​
As a Lactation Consultant I have experience helping with a myriad of infant feeding and lactation challenges. I am sensitive to what babies have to teach and show me, and am honored to listen.
I live locally with my husband and two children, six ducks, and two cats. I enjoy gardening, the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, chocolate stout and going to outdoor concerts.

Visits in your home can feel like the right choice when you have a new baby. It is comforting to practice latching and positions in your own space, and it eliminates the stress of leaving the house.
Come to Snohomish to see me in clinic at Origins Natural Health and Midwifery. I can accept more insurance plans when seeing people in clinic.
Lactation support groups can be a great way to meet other parents and get basic questions answered. You can also weigh your baby!
