As a lactation consultant...

I provide holistic support through all stages of infant feeding. I respect all feeding choices and help families meet their goals with no preconceived notions about what feeding ‘should’ look like. Whether your goal is 3 days or 3 years of breastfeeding, exclusive pumping or formula feeding, it is an honor to walk this journey along with you, celebrating your triumphs and holding space for the challenging moments.

I am experienced in assessment of tongue-tie, providing holistic care to maximize oral functioning whether parents choose surgical (frenectomy) or non-surgical management.

Lactation Consultant Services

I provide in-home education and support both before and after the arrival your baby. No need to pack up your precious bundle to travel to an office! I will come to you with all needed assessment tools, including a hospital grade scale, and help you feed your baby in the comfort of your own home.

Each visit includes a follow-up via phone or email within 48 hours of the visit. Beyond that time, questions that can be answered in an email or with a short phone call are provided at no additional cost. If the question is more involved, or new issues have arisen, I will often recommend a follow up visit to more fully assess what’s happening.

Additional Support

Add 3 hours of postpartum doula support to Initial or Follow-up consultations for an additional $110. This has the dual benefits of allowing me more time to observe your baby feeding and providing support in the form of light-housekeeping tasks, birth recovery and newborn care education, or baby care while you take time for self-care (or a nap!). If you are interested in this additional support, please include a note in the comment box when you schedule your lactation consult and I will get back to you to confirm scheduling.

Lactation services are eligible for reimbursement through your insurance company or through your HSA or FSA.

 

I am able to provide up to 6 fully covered visits for HMSA (Blue Cross Blue Shield) and Cigna PPO insurance holders. If you have one of these insurances, please us the link below to connect with Lactation Network and verify your insurance coverage before scheduling your consultation.

For all other insurances, I provide a superbill after payment is received to make reimbursement as simple as possible, but it’s up to your individual insurance to decide how much they are willing to reimburse.
