Lactation Consultation
(Sonoma County & the SF Bay Area)
​

{PLEASE NOTE: In Home Lactation Consultation & Craniosacral Therapy for Infants is available on a limited basis, based on level of SIP practiced, size and practices of family/cohort/pod, and need for in person vs. virtual care.  

​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
(Online)

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, without having to download anything special.  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.

Initial Visit in Your Home
(Sonoma County & the SF Bay Area)

Our Initial Visit will include:
  • A thorough review of your nursing and birth history.
  • An evaluation of both the birth parent's and baby's physiologies, as well as  latch, milk transfer, and potential issues.
  • Assistance with improving latch and positioning to improve ease, comfort and success in breastfeeding your baby. 
We will discuss our findings, and create a plan together for addressing your family's unique situation.

The fee for an Initial Lactation Consultation is $185.
​An Initial Visit generally lasts 1.5 to 2 hours, but I allow up to 3 hours if needed. 
​This visit will take place in your home unless an office visit is preferred.*


​
​

Follow-Up Visit in Your Home
(Sonoma County & the SF Bay Area)

In our Follow-Up Visits, we will:
  • Review how nursing has gone since our last visit.
  • Troubleshoot any remaining challenges, improving on positioning and latch and exploring other potential causes of discomfort or issues.

The fee for a Follow-Up Lactation Consultation, which lasts up to 2 hours, is $135.  
(If further time is needed, I am happy to extend our visit at a rate of $50/hr, charged in 15 minute increments so you only pay for the time you really need.)
This visit will take place in your home, unless an office visit is preferred. *

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.


​
The Fine Print

*  Travel within Sonoma county is included in visit fee. 
An additional fee of $50 will apply to visits to Marin, Solano, and Napa counties.
For travel to SF and the East Bay, a travel fee of $75 will apply.
