Hi, I’m Megan — the mom, Speech-Language Pathologist, and Certified Lactation Counselor behind Little Hearts Lactation + Feeding. Also, IBCLC candidate for Spring 2027!

I’ve always had a heart for helping families, but becoming a mother changed the way I understood feeding support. I know firsthand how emotional, exhausting, and sometimes confusing infant feeding can feel, especially when things don’t go the way you imagined they would.

Before becoming a lactation counselor, I earned my Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I’ve worked with children and families through feeding challenges, as well as with adults in hospital and rehabilitation settings who had difficulty swallowing. These experiences gave me a strong understanding of how the mouth, muscles, breathing, and swallowing all work together during feeding, knowledge I now bring to my work with babies and their families.

My own experiences as a mom have shaped my approach just as much as my professional training. I’ve navigated oral restrictions, oversupply, exclusive pumping, and the uncertainty that comes with having a baby spend time in the NICU. I know what it’s like to have questions, to wonder if you’re doing something wrong, and to simply want someone to listen and help you figure out what comes next.

Today, I work with families who may be struggling with latch, milk transfer, oral function difficultues, pumping, bottle feeding, or other feeding challenges. I believe feeding support should be compassionate, practical, individualized, and evidence-based — but most importantly, it should never be a one-size-fits-all approach.

And most importantly, I believe there is more than one way to feed a baby.

Whether your goal is breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, bottle feeding, donor milk, formula, or something completely different, you deserve support without judgment. My goal is to give you the information, tools, and confidence you need to make feeding work for your family.

Outside of Little Hearts, I love being a wife and mom to my two kids, and I’m grateful to continue learning alongside the families I serve.

If feeding has felt harder than you expected, please know that you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m here to meet you where you are, listen to what’s going on, and help you find a path forward.

You and your baby deserve support — and I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
