    retired as a La Leche League Leader at the end of 2011. LLL gave her a support network and friendships that saw her through breastfeeding her own three children. For 11 years as an LLL Leader she provided information and support to other women interested in breastfeeding.

She would like to assure all mothers of young children that mothering through breastfeeding, though sometimes intense, is really worth it!
