 I collaborate with maternal wellness and infant practitioners all over westchester county and lower fairfield county. I have a wonderful partnership with my colleague Carrie Dean, IBCLC, CST. Two heads are better than one! She is also highly skilled in infant craniosacral therapy.

    I was fortunate to start my nursing career in Maternal Newborn nursing and I never looked back. I have been supporting families on their breastfeeding journey for 25 years. There is always something to learn in the field of lactation. When I'm not seeing clients you will find me at a lactation conference! In my down time, I love to walk my dog on the hiking trails and take my telescope out to staragaze. I live in Greenwich with my partner and two grown sons.

"Cathy cared not only for my baby but for my needs as well. She listened to my concerns, helped me to understand the issues and come up with a plan to move forward. Most importantly, she prioritized my needs as a new mom and my own mental health with my goals and expectations. This allowed me to feel calmer and happier with my breastfeeding journey." ~Dana

"Cathy is extremely personable and makes you feel so comfortable. Every suggestion that she made was spot on and helped me make improvements with feeding my baby within a day." ~Danielle

Mentorship

​I have a passion for teaching and have taught undergraduate and second degree nursing students in obstetrics during my career. I enjoy mentoring candidates who will be sitting for the IBCLC exam to become International Board Certified Lactation Consultants. I'm happy to introduce Nicole Imm who has been a joy to have in my practice and always teaches me something new!

My name is Nicole Imm and I have been a Registered Nurse since 2014.  I currently work for a major medical center in the Bronx, where I take care of general pediatrics (ages 0-5 years of age) and all pediatric ages in the areas of cardiology and gastroenterology.  I am board certified in pediatrics and a certified lactation counselor on the unit.  I am working towards becoming an IBCLC to provide better care and assist families reach their breastfeeding goals.  When I am not helping patients and their families, I enjoy spending time with my family.  We go for hikes with our dog Lulu, enjoy cooking, or enjoying a nice relaxing movie night.
