Hi. I’m Angie.

I am a board certified pediatric nurse practitioner, international board certified lactation consultant and certified prenatal and postnatal fitness specialist.

Over my time as a healthcare provider, I have come to realize that many moms, myself included, are looking for reliable information related to their pregnancy, lactation and postpartum. The internet is a place where trustworthy information is often buried deep beneath countless layers of unreliable material. 

I developed Mama Vine as a trustworthy resource for moms, spouses, partners, and support people to come to in order to gain knowledge from the most recent research around these critical times in a woman’s life.

Pregnancy, lactation and the postpartum period can be the most challenging time of many women’s lives. Mama Vine exists to provide sound resources to empower women through these challenges so they feel prepared and confident in their new phase of life – whether it be pregnancy, lactation, or postpartum. I want all moms to have the best shot possible to know what to expect, and to best prepare themselves to feel they are being the best mama they can for their little ones

Much of the information I provide comes from a place of need. When I was pregnant, I was never 100% sure about my exercise routine or the food I was eating. When I was breastfeeding, I was not prepared for all the hardships to come, I simply had no idea what to expect. And postpartum, trying to return to the normalcy of life, I was not expecting all the changes that motherhood brought on. My hope is that this platform brings you a plethora of information in these different areas, as well as the support of other moms, to give you confidence going into each of these phases so you can feel empowered and ready to take on each day!
