About

Meet Gina...

I'm a Maternal Child RN with my Bachelors in Nursing, a Public Health Nurse, and a Board-Certified Lactation Consultant practicing in Lincoln, CA and surrounding areas.

 While breastfeeding is natural, that doesn't make it easy! It is a learned skill. A dance. When something interferes with the rhythm, that's where I come in. I can help choreograph the sequence of steps for Your dance to help You meet Your breastfeeding goals! Even before I had children of my own, I've been the type of person who wants to help others find their own way. This spurred my passion to help moms in their breastfeeding journey find solutions with ease and joy. It has been my mission both personally and professionally to offer encouragement and support for breastfeeding families.

Virtual Consults

Virtual appointments are an option for families who do not need face to face consultations or need brief follow up that does not require a hands-on home visit. These consults can be used for lengthy questions &  problem solving. Virtual consults can be used for prenatal breastfeeding education & necessary resources, back to work transitions,  pump planning and more. For a virtual consult, you must download Spruce app (free) for a platform that is HIPPA compliant for privacy.

Home Visits

Getting off to a good start helps breastfeeding work well for the entire family. Proper care and attention takes time. My unique individualized approach allows me to give my families the right amount of time together so we can follow the natural flow of your and your baby's rhythm. I am here for you, whatever you may need, while providing gentle encouragement and unbiased support in the comfort of your own home.

Emails & Phone Calls

Due to the volume of emails and phone calls I receive asking me questions about lactation problems, or to "pick" my brain, I reserve the right to inform clients when it may be best to move towards a lactation consult. This will remind BOTH of us that our time is valuable and to be financially compensated for my time and knowledge, is respectful.
