Helping new mothers adjust to life with a newborn baby has been a passion of Danielle’s since she became a parent, a Registered Nurse and an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC.) One of the most important aspects of parenting is feeding your baby. Many parents opt to provide human breast milk to their babies and as an IBCLC, Danielle’s main job is to help parents do this.
For almost a decade Danielle has worked as a Registered Nurse in local Bay Area hospitals, specializing in peripartum care. Danielle has a background in education, working as an elementary school teacher, an administrator, and most recently as an Adjunct Professor for the University of San Francisco.
In addition to her work, she enjoys spending time with close friends and family, camping, exploring the regional parks, and reading.
