We ask that you provide us with a 12 hour notice if you will not be able to keep your appointment time. Any appointment cancelled within two hours of the scheduled time is subject to the cancellation fee of $50 if made more than 24 hours in advance.
Step 2 - Prepare
After arriving to your home, we’ll chat about any challenges, issues, or concerns you are having regarding yourself or your baby. We will review the health history form and go over any additional information needed. Please note, there is no special cleaning or tidying up necessary! We do ask that any pets who can be aggressive towards visitors be put in a separate space for a safe environment.
For a competent and comprehensive assessment, the lactation consultant will observe active breastfeeding/pumping/bottle feeding. An infant scale will be used for a breastfeeding session to perform a weighted feeding, which allows us to see the milk transfer amount from the feeding session.
Following the appointment, a summary report will be sent to the attending pediatrician for consistent care. Before leaving, our next appointment follow-up will be discussed and planned.
Constant communication is included in your fee, so always reach out if there is a question or a concern!

Virtual consults are strictly for adult health and coaching consultations.
During our initial consultation together, we will discuss health history, goals, and current challenges you are looking to address through health coaching. Meal planning, supplement regimens, and lifestyle changes are all pieces of the puzzle. Together, we will construct monthly plans to successfully achieving your goals.
