Board-Certified Lactation Consultant | Registered Nurse | Infant & Family Advocate

​Hello, I’m Trista! I’m a board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Sam Houston State University, and over six years of hands-on experience as a registered nurse.

​

My nursing background spans a wide range of specialties including mother/baby care, pediatrics, and antepartum (high-risk pregnancy)—giving me a well-rounded, compassionate understanding of the many paths families take into parenthood.

​

Becoming an IBCLC was a natural extension of my love for supporting families during the most tender and transformative moments of their lives. I understand that feeding your baby—whether by breast, bottle, or both—is deeply personal. My mission is to provide gentle, evidence-based care that meets your goals, honors your experience, and supports your bond with your baby.

​

Whether you’re navigating latching difficulties, supply concerns, pumping routines, or simply need someone to reassure you—you’re not alone. I'm here to walk with you, one feeding at a time.
