Hi! I'm Avery
And I'm really really passionate about helping new parents feel confident and empowered about latching and feeding their babies in a sustainable way, especially when feeding is difficult.
I've seen firsthand the emotional toll that feeding problems can take on so many new parents, and how devastating it can feel when you spent so much time preparing and things still somehow went sideways.
And I've seen the lack of good support fail new parents over and over again, so that they end up with a trauma response about their feeding experience because they didn't get the support they deserved.
I've also seen a better ending in so many of the families I have worked with individually - even those who have been in a state of despair for months, and I know a different outcome is possible.
This community is my solution to this problem - a safe space for you to get the emotional support you need AND connection with professionals who are passionate about helping you make things better, so can enjoy your limited time with your newborn.
