Lactation Consultation
(Virtual & SF North Bay)
{PLEASE NOTE: In Home Lactation Consultation & Craniosacral Therapy for Infants is available on a limited basis, based on covid levels in our area, exposure risk in your family, and need for in person vs. virtual care. I ask that clients wear masks and open the windows during our sessions, and I will be masked and sanitized as well.
Please contact me for more information, I'm happy to do a 15 minute discovery call to explore what's going on for you and assess together what our most effective and appropriate approach will be.}
Virtual Lactation Consultation
(via Zoom)
Virtual support is flexible, accessible, affordable and effective, and can be a great option whether you live across the country or the globe, aren't in an ideal place for a home visit, or are in period of isolation such as we are now during this time of Covid-19.
We will review what has been going on for you, address your supply, positioning and latch as needed, answer your questions, explore potential solutions together, and come up with a plan that honors your goals and feels do-able for you. I use a HIPPA-compliant, secure video program that you can access easily on your phone, iPad or computer.
Fees are based on the time we need, as I charge $100/hr in 15 minute increments with no minimum required.
Please reach out by email or phone if you have any questions about my services.
Scheduling is flexible and I'll be here when you need me.

Add Craniosacral Therapy for your Little One!
Craniosacral therapy can be an invaluable addition to a lactation consultation, as many of the soft tissue issues that contribute to shallow, painful latches can be effectively released with just a treatment or two. This service is available a la carte, or can be added to any lactation consultation.
To add craniosacral therapy to an Initial Lactation Consultation, the fee is only $45 so you can check it out and see how you feel about the work.
If you love it and want to add it to Follow Up Lactation Consultations, the fee is $60 for up to an hour of craniosacral therapy per visit.
