Breastfeeding can be a beautiful, transformative experience—but it can also come with challenges such as pain, exhaustion, low milk supply, or latching difficulties that affect both your physical and emotional well-being.

I understand how overwhelming this can feel, but I also know that with the right help and support, breastfeeding can become a healing and empowering experience, even after a rocky start.

Baby Smile Lactation offers a holistic approach to breastfeeding, honoring the deep connection between mother, baby, and their environment. Because a happy, well-fed baby starts with a supported, well-rested mama. 

This is me with my first child. Don’t be fooled by the smile… At that moment, I was exhausted, still in shock after a traumatic birth, and wondering why “everyone could breastfeed except me.”

It only took one appointment with a wonderful lactation consultant to give me the knowledge and confidence I needed to begin a two-year-long breastfeeding journey with my baby, Alex — and to inspire a fulfilling career supporting mothers and babies.

Does my name sound a little unique? That’s because I was born into a half-French, half-Spanish family in a beautiful little city in the southwest of France, and to be raised bilingual.

Over the years, I’ve lived in several countries, met wonderful people, taught both French and Spanish, learned Italian and English, moved to the U.S., marry a charming German man and raised three trilingual children. Each chapter has shaped the compassionate, open-minded perspective I bring to my work today.

PS: after having 3 kids on my own and spending thousands of hours speaking French to them, I have a very hard time speaking English to babies… chances are, your baby will get his first French lesson ever during the consultation 😅
