ABOUT ME
As a Registered Nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I bring years of experience caring for women, newborns, and families throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond.My nursing career in this field began in outpatient OB/GYN, where I spent nearly a decade supporting women throughout their pregnancies and reproductive health journeys. I then transitioned to inpatient postpartum lactation care, where I developed a passion for helping mothers and babies establish breastfeeding during those important first days.
Today, I continue to care for newborns and families as a per diem IBCLC in the NICU.I also have a passion for making breastfeeding support accessible beyond the hospital setting. I have hosted a long-standing virtual breastfeeding support group through Jefferson Health and now facilitate two in-person breastfeeding support groups at my Colts Neck office each month—one in the morning and one in the evening—to provide options that better fit the busy schedules of new parents.
As a mother myself, I understand that breastfeeding can look very different from one baby to the next. I breastfed my first child for 14 months and my second for 8 months. Those personal experiences, combined with my clinical training and experience, have given me an appreciation for both the joys and challenges that can come with feeding your baby.
I am a Monmouth County native and, after spending about a decade living in Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia, I was excited to return home to Monmouth County with my family. I feel incredibly fortunate to support families in the community I grew up in.My approach to lactation care is compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based. Whether you are preparing to breastfeed, navigating challenges in the early days, returning to work, exclusively pumping, introducing bottles, or simply looking for reassurance and support, my goal is to help you feel informed and confident in your feeding journey.
I would be honored to support you and your baby.

Helen was quick to respond allowing scheduling to be possible immediately which is necessary when in such pain and discomfort during the first few weeks of survival with a newborn. Helen is professional, knowledgeable about lactation, and clearly has the experience. More importantly, being a mom herself, she can relate firsthand to the challenges you’re facing. It was obvious she reviewed my intake form in great detail and arrived familiar with the areas I needed the most assistance. After one short session, I already experience less pain and more confidence in myself. Overall an amazing experience!!

With Helen’s help I was able to nurse each of my babies for two years! She is calm, caring, honest and supportive while providing advice and information backed by science. Being a Mom herself, Helen knows the realities of how hard a postpartum journey can be and she uses that experience to lovingly guide her clients. Helen is extremely knowledgeable and it is evident that she loves what she does. Any new Mom is lucky to have Helen in their corner.

I had some difficulty breastfeeding my older son and had a lot of doubt and hesitation about being able to feed my newborn. Helen was understanding and encouraging and also very knowledgeable. I would recommend her strongly to anyone looking for a lactation consultant. After just one session I have a plan in place and have gained confidence and peace of mind too.

Helen is an incredibly sweet and compassionate person! She has a lovely aura surrounding her and is a very comforting presence. She is very knowledgeable, and you can tell she truly loves what she does, and loves being a mother.
