Yes! A functional tongue/lip/buccal tie assessment is part of every consultation. Based on what I find, I will give you options for mitigation and an oral habilitation toolkit to improve your baby’s ability to breastfeed.

Feed your baby 1.5 hours prior to the visit. No need to clean or tidy, but I do ask that you secure animals for the duration of our visit.

Absolutely! Partners and other support persons are encouraged to attend.

My goal is to support you in whatever way that looks like for you. As a lactation consultant, my interest in helping women achieve their breastfeeding goals, but every woman’s breastfeeding goals are unique! I will counsel you on the many options available to you for feeding your baby. The final decision is for you and your family to make.

I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, which is an allied health care professional serving the mother/baby dyad by supporting breastfeeding. IBCLCs are the experts in infant feeding. I have many years experience breastfeeding my own children. I have also completed a 2.5 year apprenticeship where I accumulated over 500 hours of direct care to mothers and babies.

To help make your consultation as affordable as possible, I’ve partnered with The Lactation Network (TLN). TLN partners with some insurance payers to provide coverage to families seeking care.

If TLN does not cover your visit, I will offer you a Super Bill for insurance reimbursement.
