Meet your Lactation Consultant 

Francesca

Hi, I am Francesca (she/her) a compassionate and dedicated Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) on a mission to support families through their infant feeding journey.  My story is rooted in personal experience, as my interest in lactation began with the premature birth of my twins at 34 weeks. 

Having premature twins was a challenging time that presented unparalleled challenges in the feeding department.  This experience left a lasting impact and inspired me to shift gears and dedicate my life to helping others who face similar struggles.  Once the twins were three, I made the bold decision to return to school and immerse myself into the fields of lactation and nutrition. 

Driven by a passion to help others, I seek to provide families with evidence-based care, empowering them to conquer infant feeding challenges and achieve their goals.  I bring firsthand experience and a wealth of knowledge to my practice.    

Francesca lives in Pleasantville, NY with her husband, boy/girl twins and their goldendoodle Foofer.  With a Bachelor of Science in Finance from St. Joseph’s University, she initially ventured into the financial services sector, contributing her expertise as a risk manager at Deutsche Bank.  Francesca is currently perusing a Master of Science in Nutrition Education from American University.  She has completed over 1000 hours of supervised practice towards meeting the eligibility to become a registered dietitian nutritionist.  Francesca’s academic focus extends to her thesis work where she explores the transformative power of health education as a tool to enhance breastfeeding rates and alleviate the burden of nutrition-related chronic disease.  In her free time, she enjoys being with family and playing tennis.  

Foofer is an honorary member of Lactation Help NY LLC. His primary responsibilities include sunbathing and lounging about the office. Foofer was born in Climax, NY and moved to NYC as a puppy. He lived the first three years of his life in Manhattan's Financial District where he attended puppy pre-school and puppy Kindergarten at School for The Dogs. While he and his human siblings enjoy the suburbs of Westchester, NY, they will always be true NY'ers at heart.
