Pumping Mom Academy

If you’re a mom-to-be, chances are you may be planning to breastfeed. You know breast milk is incredibly beneficial and you may have read breastfeeding books or taken classes.

But what do most breastfeeding classes skim over? Pumping! 

The Infant Feeding Practices Survey showed that 85% of moms have used a breast pump at some point. So why is there such a gap in support for pumping moms?

As a first-time mom, I never expected to pump. In fact, when I brought my daughter home from the hospital, we didn’t even have a single bottle in the house!

After latching difficulties and a complicated recovery, all my plans for nursing went out the window.

Since I couldn’t nurse, I turned to pumping. I knew how beneficial breast milk was, so if I couldn’t nurse, at least she could still get the benefits of my breast milk.

The problem? I was exhausted and I knew next to NOTHING about pumping, storing, and feeding pumped milk. I scoured the web, but all that info left my head spinning.

Don’t let this happen to you!

There are so many reasons moms choose to pump:

  • Baby is sick and can’t nurse
  • Nursing is painful due to latch issues or tongue tie
  • Mom works outside the home and needs to pump while away from baby
  • Mom chooses to pump for her own personal reasons

More Milk Less Stress Pumping Mom Academy

I’m passionate about helping moms meet their breastfeeding and pumping goals. That’s why I created Pumping Mom Academy, an online e-course designed to teach everything I’ve learned about pumping.

Across the span of three kids and nine years, I’ve pumped about 43 months – that’s an estimated 40,000 ounces! Not only that, but I also battled and overcame just about every complication a breastfeeding mom can encounter.

I know what works!

And I want to guide you through your journey, cheering you on and teaching you all the little-known tricks and tips for making pumping life easier…so you can focus on what matters most — loving on that sweet new bundle of joy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this course for me?

A: This course is designed for moms expecting moms who plan to breastfeed. A recent survey has shown that 85% of moms who breastfeed have also pumped. Learning all you can ahead of time will leave you feeling confident and prepared for when baby arrives. This course is also great for new moms who exclusively pump or who pump at least 1-2 times per day.

Q: Do I have to complete all the lessons in a certain order?

A: Nope! Feel free to skip around and watch the lessons in any order you wish.


Q: What breastfeeding training do you have?

A: While I’m not an IBCLC or a doctor, I am a mom who has been through it all. I’ve spent countless hours researching and reading and have been the go-to person in my friend-group when someone has a nursing problem. I’ve had friends refer their friends to me for advice. Not only that, but I’ve also had hours of formal training, as I have previously volunteered at a well-known breastfeeding hotline, talking with moms over the phone and answering their breastfeeding questions. I’ve also faced nearly every breastfeeding challenge you can imagine. I’ve exclusively pumped, pumped part-time, pumped occasionally, and nursed full-time. (In fact, my 21-month-old is still nursing!) After spending more than 3,000 hours attached to a pump, I’ve learned a thing or two along the way! 😉


Q: Okay, so you’re telling me this class is valuable but it’s SO affordable…are you sure it’s not just fluff?

A: No fluff here! I know how busy you are, so I’ve worked really hard to make sure this course is jam-packed with information, tips and tricks, and NO FLUFF or sales pitches. I’m confident you won’t be disappointed.

If the class doesn’t live up to your expectations, just email me within 30 days at findyourmomtribe (at) gmail.com and I’ll gladly issue you a full refund.


Q: I can’t stand boring lectures. Why would I want to pay for a class?

A: This class is different than anything you’ve attended in school. I seek to be compassionate, energetic, and make learning fun. Don’t have time to watch the videos? That’s okay! Each lesson has a printable summary so you can read through all the information at your leisure.
