I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Registered Lactation Consultant (RLC). I am happy to assist you through a lactation consultation with breastfeeding prenatally, preventative postpartum, or when you have issues postpartum. I love to help families with newborns, infants, toddlers, and from the early stages of breastfeeding through introducing solids and weaning.  I am here to help you meet your breastfeeding goals. 

I highly encourage father, partner, or a support person to be present at the consultation if possible. An initial consultation typically lasts between 1 1/2-2 hours. I will obtain a thorough history, conduct a full sucking assessment, and will observe a full feeding (at the breast, pumping, or bottle, or any combination). Questions and concerns will be addressed during the consultation. Tools may be used or demonstrated to help support breastfeeding if needed and may be available for an additional fee. We will work together to create a care plan based on evidence based principles and on baby and mother's needs and goals. To schedule a consultation please contact me. 

I will report my findings to you, and send reports to your health care providers promptly so that they may be able to be a further support to you breastfeeding your baby.  The initial consultation fee includes follow-up, via telephone, from me for two weeks after our consultation per our care plan. Afterwards, the mother is responsible to report any changes or if we need to make amendments to our care plan, additional follow-up fees may be required.  Occasionally, a follow up consultation may be necessary, depending on the severity of the breastfeeding issue.  Follow-ups are billed incrementally, one hour minimum to help minimize costs.

While I am unable to bill directly to insurance, I will provide you with a Super Bill that you may submit to your insurance to attempt reimbursement.  There is no guarantee of reimbursement, you will need to speak directly to your insurance if that is a concern, but I will provide you with the form that you need so that you can begin the reimbursement process.

I am able to receive payment by cash, card, and I'm also able to take most Health Savings Account cards.
