Whether it is to discuss latch, supply, illness, pumping, weaning, or trauma; seeking guidance from a board certified in-home lactation consultant can be the missing link in helping you reach your goals when it comes to feeding your child.
An initial lactation consultation is up to 90 minutes in duration and may include a detailed assessment of your history as it relates to lactation, an assessment of your current situation and past experience, and a detailed assessment & questionnaire of your child's birth & life history up to our appoint. Consultations also include...
Follow-up lactation consultations are frequently needed due to the ever evolving nature of breastfeeding. These visits will include an updated care plan, an updated assessment of your child, and documents for physician and reimbursement if requested. These in-home visits are up to 1 hour in duration.
To really "get off on the right foot," I highly encourage a prenatal lactation consultation. This appointment includes an assessment history of lactating parent, discussing of feeding goals, what to expect in the first days, education on breast pump, and a personalized plan for follow-up. Prenatal consultations are up to 1 hour.

After tongue and lip ties and difficulty latching which resulted in triple feeding and being told we’d done all we could, we had transitioned to exclusive pumping, which was taking a huge toll on my mental health and I was considering giving it up all together. A friend recommended Sarah to me and I reached out as a last resort. She was such an empathetic listener, completely non-judgemental, incredibly encouraging, and super hands on in helping me figure out how to get a good latch - things no one else had taken the time to do. Three weeks later and we are nursing full time! Our family is so thankful we found Sarah and would recommend her to anyone struggling with any aspect of breastfeeding.

After struggling with breastfeeding and having multiple bouts of mastitis, I reached out to Sarah to help me with the weaning process. What I appreciated most about Sarah is that she took the time to listen to my story and concerns with such compassion and empathy, and there was never any pressure to keep breastfeeding when it wasn't working for me and my family. She put together a detailed care plan that took the guesswork out of this process and she made sure I felt supported through multiple follow up emails and meetings. It's been an emotional journey and it has made a world of difference to have someone on my side.

I struggled from the beginning with supply issues and Sarah was the first person I'd seen who didn't make me feel inadequate. She was encouraging, kind and loved on my little boy whenever we met. Sarah provided me with realistic, helpful information that aided in feedings for my son. She listened compassionately and left me feeling equipped with what I needed to know as I combo fed (breastfed & formula) my little guy. I truly can't recommend her enough.
—Kind words from O.M.
I contacted her in my hazy, first few weeks postpartum. I reached out for help with nursing, but little did I know she would help me with SO much more. Sarah met with me in my home multiple times. If I needed her, she was there the next day. If she couldn’t be there the next day, we talked through my questions via email. Being newly postpartum is a vulnerable period in a woman’s life and during our appointments together, Sarah made me feel so safe, heard, and supported. She helped me reach my goals and adapted her care as my goals changed. She was one of my biggest cheerleaders and I will never be able to express how much she means to me!
