Self-Pay OnlyThe short version:
The whole story:
I was drawn to lactation work after the birth of my twin boys in 2015. Like many new moms, I struggled with breastfeeding and was fortunate to have the support of an IBCLC. That experience changed my life — and ultimately my career.
After completing my lactation education and clinical hours, I passed the IBLCE exam and became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I have worked in hospital settings, private practice, and virtually — supporting families across a wide range of breastfeeding challenges.
I believe that every mother deserves personalized, evidence-based support — and that breastfeeding, when it works, is one of the most powerful things a parent can do for their child. My goal is to help you reach yours, whatever that looks like.
Whether you're struggling with latch, supply, pumping, returning to work, or just need reassurance that you're doing it right — I'm here for you. I would be honored to accompany you on your breastfeeding journey, and to be a member of your village.

Real stories from real families in Westchester and beyond.
"Dana was the reason I continued my breastfeeding journey. I worked with her in multiple sessions. She was extremely helpful and had a welcoming personality. I was given helpful tips to manage my oversupply and ensure my baby was latching correctly. After every appointment she provided notes for you to refer back to which was extremely helpful. I cannot recommend her enough."

"I had my first prenatal visit with Dana. She is professional, practical, warm, and comforting—a stellar combination! I'm a first-time mom, so I'm a bit nervous about breastfeeding. However, I'm confident I got all my questions answered and that I'm set up for my first few days with baby, regardless of what delivery throws at me. I am excited to continue working with Dana when baby arrives."
