International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) & Doctorate of Nursing Practice Specializing in Neonatal and Newborn Care
Meet Vivian!
I've been a registered nurse for over thirty years, specializing in the care of newborns and their families. Much of my career has been spent in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where I supported some of the tiniest and most vulnerable patients — and their parents, during an often overwhelming time.
In addition to my clinical work, I'm proud to serve as a Professor of Nursing at CUNY, where I guide the next generation of nurses with the same passion and dedication I bring to my own practice.
"My goal is to combine my professional expertise with personal experience to help new mothers feel confident, supported, and empowered in their feeding journey."
As both a nurse, a nurse practitioner, and a mom to two wonderful children, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges of feeding and caring for a baby. Whether you're nursing, pumping, or navigating other feeding options, I'm here to provide the knowledge, encouragement, and care you deserve — in the place you feel most yourself: home.
