I first became interested in breastfeeding medicine after having my first child at the end of my pediatric residency. Despite years of medical training, I realized I had real gaps in the practical application of breastfeeding — Do I need to pump? Change my diet? How do I start? How do I maintain my supply?
I was fortunate to have incredible clinical mentors and a supportive community that guided me on my breastfeeding journey. Through all these experiences I realized there is SO MUCH to be shared about human milk — from the first latch to the squirmy toddler.
Founded in 2025, Dyad Health Collective bridges a gap in postpartum care by providing physician-level breastfeeding and lactation medicine consulting in the Nashville area, with both in-home and virtual visits during the "fourth trimester."
