Bio

Suzanne began her career as a Breastfeeding Educator, and founded Merry-Go-Round in Kingwood in 2003. Merry-Go-Round quickly became known as the go-to resource for new parents in the area as it provided everything from private practice lactation consultations to breast pump rentals to hosting a weekly breastfeeding support group. While in private practice, Suzanne provided comprehensive lactation support to thousands of local mothers in the North Houston area and became known for her expertise in handling complex breastfeeding issues. In 2010, she received the Family Time Woman of Achievement in Business Award, recognizing the contributions that her business had made to the community. (Link to article here). In 2014, Suzanne transitioned from private practice to working for The Woman’s Hospital of Texas. While working at the hospital, Suzanne not only provided lactation support to mothers in the early postpartum period, but she also was instrumental in helping the hospital attain and maintain the Baby-Friendly designation. In 2015, she also began working with Dr. James Liu at Adult and ENT & Allergy of The Woodlands to provide lactation support for mothers and babies with complex breastfeeding issues caused by tethered oral tissue (Tongue-Tie and Lip-Tie). In 2016, Suzanne was excited to return to Private Practice, this time with Tessa Gardin, IBCLC, founding Bayou City Breastfeeding to provide in-home lactation consultations to mothers in Central and North Houston. Over her lactation career, Suzanne has continued to pursue additional lactation training and certifications, becoming a Certified Lactation Counselor and eventually an International Certified Lactation Consultant. She continues to pursue advanced lactation training to further her knowledge by taking classes and attending conferences. She is a member of ILCA (International Lactation Consultant Association), USLCA (United States Lactation Consultant Association), HALCEA (Houston Area Lactation Consultant and Educator Association) and IATP (International Association of Tongue-Tie Professionals). Suzanne is an avid runner and enjoys spending time with her family, reading, biking, cooking and painting.
