Soma Landing was created to offer Northern BC families a dedicated space for infant feeding support and postpartum connection.
A space where clinical expertise and relational support co-exist.
How Soma Landing Came to Be
Through my own postpartum experience, I became aware of how immense the transition to motherhood truly is. The adjustment was difficult, and at times I struggled a lot. And yet, through it all, I remained devoted. After my second child was born, I could look back and see just how resilient, capable, and embodied I had become—how much I had grown through a season that was both challenging and expansive.
From this experience grew a strong desire to support other women through this same season, with the understanding that motherhood is part of one’s becoming and is deserving of care. That asking for help—and receiving thoughtful, attentive support—is not a luxury or a failure, but a vital and normal part of raising healthy families and building healthy communities.
In pursuit of this calling, I trained and worked as a doula and childbirth educator before completing the highest standard of training in lactation and infant feeding to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). This path included a combination of health sciences and lactation/infant feeding education, as well as a 500-hour supervised clinical practicum under the guidance of a highly regarded mentor.
Along the way, I fell deeply in love with this work.
Soma Landing grew from the recognition that mothers in Northern BC deserve a higher standard of infant feeding and postpartum support—and better access to meaningful care.
Support at Soma Landing is grounded in the understanding that early parenthood is a profoundly body-based, emotional, and relational transition. Feeding challenges, overwhelm, and uncertainty rarely exist in isolation, and I believe that effective care must reflect that complexity.
I work closely with families to understand not only what is happening with feeding, but the wider context in which feeding is unfolding. When care is calm, attentive, and thorough, parents are better able to understand what’s happening, find trust in themselves and their babies, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Our Philosophy of Care
Infant Feeding Support at Soma Landing
As an infant feeding specialist, my work integrates clinical expertise with a family-centred approach. Consultations are comprehensive and unhurried, allowing time to observe, assess, and respond thoughtfully to each family’s unique needs. We consider feeding dynamics, infant behaviour, parental wellbeing, and the relational environment surrounding both parent and baby. This depth of care supports meaningful integration and more sustainable feeding approaches that align with each family’s goals.
I support families across all feeding methods—including breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, and formula feeding—with the same care, respect, and evidence-informed guidance. My role is not to judge or prescribe a “right” way to feed, but to help families find an approach that feels supportive, achievable, and aligned for them.
Soma Landing is more than a feeding clinic — it is a shared space for community-held support.
Alongside infant feeding support, the space hosts thoughtfully curated offerings led by other skilled facilitators in our community. These include postpartum groups, workshops, and gatherings designed to support parents as whole people throughout the transition into parenthood.
Each offering at Soma Landing is chosen with intention and aligned with our core values of attunement, respect, and deep regard for the family experience. This space will continue to evolve as collaborations take shape, responding to the needs of the families it serves.
