Consider me your non-judgy nurse friend
Consider me your non-judgy nurse friend
Hey, I’m Hillary.
Founder, RN, MSN, IBCLC
As a labor & delivery nurse, feeding specialist, and a mom of four, I’ve become the go-to person for friends old and new as they navigate the journey into motherhood. It’s funny how I might not hear from someone for decades, and then suddenly, as they enter their third trimester, the calls start coming in. It’s a role I cherish—being that qualified, non-judgy friend in your corner.
My background is as medically grounded as it gets, with a sprinkle of “crunchy” for good measure. Despite the many letters by my name, I question everything. I’m committed to understanding the “why” behind what we do, ensuring I can trust and share only the most reliable, practical guidance.
I’m super type A—relentlessly pursuing the latest and best practices in baby and mom care. In our fast-evolving field, I believe it’s critical to stay updated, always pushing for better, more effective ways to support you and your baby.
But here’s the thing—I care deeply about your experience during this transformative time. Just as you protect and love your baby, I feel a strong responsibility towards each mom I help. You’re not just another client; you’re a mom, a partner, a friend who’s rewriting her story in one of life’s most intense chapters. Together, we’ll navigate this journey, ensuring you feel empowered, informed, and supported every step of the way.”
