Denise has been a childbirth professional since 1998 covering all phases of the birth experience as a nurse, childbirth educator, birth doula, post-partum doula, and lactation consultant. She raised four daughters during this time including twins born at 29 weeks. The challenge of breastfeeding the twins during their 8 week NICU stay led Denise to want to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).
