As an IBCLC, Demi believes the family’s goals are the top priority, and provides an unbiased, professional opinion. She likes to meet her families where they are and create a roadmap to get them where they want to go in their breastfeeding journey, empowering them as the experts on their baby. Sheis a native to the southern Virginia area but has lived in many places through her families military service.
