Christie is an independent RN offering breastfeeding and lactation support at Her Optimal Health. She is a BScN graduate of Western University. Christie has also completed the LEAARC approved Breastfeeding certificate from Mohawk college. Christie is a passionate labour and delivery nurse who initially became interested in breastfeeding education and support after she gave birth to her first child and needed a support network to help make informed decisions around feeding. 

Christie is passionate about providing education and resources to families to help them make informed decisions to meet their unique feeding goals. She approaches challenges with a gentle curiosity and provides a safe non-judgemental space to ask questions. 

When she is not working she enjoys playing at the park with her two small children, walking her giant dog, or hiking the local trails with her husband. She is excited to be joining our team of health and wellness providers.
