I first met Liz 27 years ago during a La Leche League meeting at the Thousand Oaks Library. She shined a tremendous light on my life with her confidence and enthusiasm for breastfeeding. Liz guided me through a successful 3 years of nursing my daughter who was 2 weeks old at the time. My daughter is now a successful Apple engineer who recently won 2nd place in her company fitness contest. I thank Liz for her outstanding leadership and guidance which greatly facilitated my parenting journey. A strong role model like Liz is priceless when facing the many challenges of nursing a newborn.
