Hi, I’m Alex!
Founder of Labor To Latch
I am a wife, mother, Registered Nurse, Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and Doula.
I started my career as a labor and delivery nurse, where I had the privilege of witnessing the very first moments of life. Later, I cared for the tiniest and most fragile babies in the NICU. In both spaces, I saw the strength of mothers, the tenderness of new families, and the profound transformation that happens when a baby enters the world. I loved teaching new mothers how their bodies were designed to nourish their babies. I loved watching confidence grow as uncertainty turned into understanding. My first child deepened everything I thought I knew about breastfeeding. Through the challenges and perseverance, I experienced firsthand how powerful the relationship between a mother and her baby can be. This stirred something deeper in my heart — a calling to walk closely with mothers and families as they find their own rhythm and confidence. It also made me begin to ask a deeper question:
What would it look like if mothers were truly supported in this season of life?
I believe breastfeeding is more than nutrition — it is connection, comfort, and a beautiful design woven into motherhood. I believe motherhood is a sacred calling, and it is a joy to come alongside women and families in this season.
Through Labor To Latch, my heart is to walk with mothers from preparation for birth, to their first latch and beyond. My goal is to help families build a strong, peaceful foundation for breastfeeding and for motherhood itself.
