I'm on the road to becoming an IBCLC!
I'm super excited to continue providing calm, well-rounded prenatal and postpartum support with a deeper understanding of lactation.
Join me on my journey by onboarding my lactation mentor and doula partner, Erin Chapman!
I have about 500 hours of shadowing to complete and I'd love the opportunity to learn by supporting you.
Pregnant?
PRENATAL VISIT IN OFFICE Prenatal lactation education session for expectant clients. I feel SUPER passionate that every expectant family should integrate lactation education and prep into their prenatal journey. Doing a prenatal breastfeeding education session is extremely impactful— (1) it gives us a chance to meet and connect prenatally so if and when you need support once baby arrives we are able to hit the ground running and (2) it can be hard to learn and absorb information in the freshly postpartum period so taking a chance to set a general foundation of knowledge and best practices before baby arrives really sets you up for success. Topics include: interactive instruction & demo of latch & positioning “golden hour” preparation how to know if baby is "getting enough" a “road map” of breastfeeding so you can better understand hour one, day one, week one what to expect flange fitting pump and bottle feeding q&a This visit happens in my office space and is usually 1.5 hrs long.
Baby's Here?
PRIVATE HOME VISIT When you are struggling with things like nipple pain, slow weight gain, or latching your infant onto the breast, it is an enormous relief to have someone meet you in your own space, with your own stuff, where you and baby are the most comfortable. I come to your home so we can have the most productive consultation possible-- where you can ask questions, get answers, and ensure you are feeling supported and empowered. Private in-home visit includes: review mother and infant medical history observation of a feeding, often a weighted feed help can include: positioning, latch, nipple care, nipple healing techniques, pumping demonstration discuss ways to make sure your infant is “getting enough” discuss normal infant feeding patterns and expectations creation of clear care and feeding plans resources, videos, and referrals as needed Notes: visit includes one week of follow up email support Follow up visit recommended. They are the same price, duration, and offer another week of email support. $350
Erin and I have built a close friendship through sharing doula clients for the last 2 years and have established a flow that feels effortless.
Our dedication to the families we work with feels completely aligned, let's just say...we care a lot.
We've supported hundreds of families over the last 6 years, and would love the opportunity to support yours too.
