Hi, I'm Tali.

My first son was born a little earlier than expected, and we had breastfeeding challenges. With the help of a lactation consultant, I was able to reach my breastfeeding goals. After receiving guidance again with my second child, I fell completely in love with breastfeeding and knew I wanted to help other families.

I've been helping families with breastfeeding and infant feeding for more than 10 years, and I also bring more than 10 years of personal breastfeeding experience with my own children.

My training and experience

I hold a B.S.Pharm (Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy) and am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

I've trained with experienced IBCLCs in outpatient clinics, mother-baby units, and NICUs in both the United States and Israel. My advanced training includes oral-motor function, oral ties, infant reflexes, flange fitting, reflux and food sensitivities, bottle refusal, and more.

I worked for three years as an IBCLC at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, supporting families through community lactation classes and support groups, as well as hands-on care in the mother-baby unit and NICU.

I volunteered as a La Leche League Leader (now retired) after benefiting from peer-to-peer support with my own children.

From the hospital to your home

I opened my private practice in 2017 and have since supported families in their homes through everything from getting breastfeeding off to a good start to more complex feeding challenges involving pumping, bottles, supplementation (breastmilk or formula-I don't judge!), oral ties, and more.

I bring clinical knowledge, experience, creativity, and a practical approach to each consultation. If one approach doesn't work, we'll find another way forward.

Every family and baby is different. If this sounds like the support you need, I hope you'll reach out.
