Hi, I’m Macy! I’m so glad you found me. I’m a pediatric physical therapist, certified breastfeeding specialist, and mama of 3 beautiful kiddos. I began this journey of optimizing infant health through my work, where we navigate developmental difficulties that get in the way of infants participating in meaningful play activities with their families. As I began having kids of my own, I saw even more how crucial those early weeks were for establishing a strong emotional foundation, breastfeeding outcomes, immunity, milestones, and really everything!
As I walked through the ups and downs of raising my own (2 biological and 1 adopted), I learned many lessons the hard way when it comes to the things that we can do to influence developmental outcomes (colic, allergies, low milk supply, social/emotional health, milestone acquisition, etc.). Fast forward to trying for a fourth child, we suffered 3 pregnancy losses that left me wondering what on earth could be going wrong. With no answers from doctors (and very little attempt on their part to help me find any), I set out on a journey to learn more about the fertility and hormone space, and discovered that despite my knowledge of child development from being a PT, there was so much about pre-conception and pregnancy that influenced future babies and their future wellness FAR more than I ever realized.
In addition to my training in lactation and child development, I set out on a journey to optimize my own health and environment (and my family’s) through toxin-free living and fertility-friendly nutrition practices. I’m here to share what I’ve learned along the way, whether that be holistic insights on fertility, pregnancy, lactation, or milestones. My goal is to help you give your little one the VERY BEST start to life.
