Nancy has the distinction of being Maui's first lactation consultant through the
prestigious UCLA lactation program.
She was instrumental in developing Hawaii's first breastfeeding clinic, through the Maui Childbirth
Program in Wailuku in 1994. In 1996 she began her private practice and opened "Breastfeeding
Services of Maui", which eventually became a program of Valley Isle Childbirth. Nancy was the first
to offer home visits to evaluate, observe and support the new mother and her baby through their
breastfeeding adjustments, and has served thousands of Maui families. Nancy is known for her
"one-on-one" sessions and her care and compassion for the breastfeeding mother and baby.
