"Of course babies are my passion. I believe every baby is a miracle and deserves the best start to life. My joy is watching an infant develop and grow. Though it is not ideal, it is a unique privilege to see this happen outside of the womb. My goal is to help families during this often frightening journey...to find the beauty in their tiny miracle and help them grow together as a family."

  • Biography

    I have been practicing Neonatology and NICU care since 1990 and have had the privilege of working with several of our local healthcare systems.  I took an interest in tongue-tie and its effect on breast feeding after a few of my close friends and family members struggled with it and found relief after having their babies treated.  I was fortunate (and blessed!) to have been trained by Dr. Isabella Knox, a highly respected Neonatologist, whose specialty is tongue-tie and breast feeding success.  Through her, and through shadowing other local, highly respected providers, we were able to create a clinic where moms and babies can be evaluated and treated without having to travel out of the South Puget Sound area.  We model our evaluation and care around excellent lactation support as a first and foremost treatment plan, and then we consider other options for treatment based on each patient's individual circumstances.
