In-Office visits
Located at Birthstone Breastfeeding and Wellness Center on Main Street Sylva, receive lactation care in this comfortable, peaceful and welcoming space. In 1-2 hours, lets work together and strategize to help you reach your feeding goals. During this time we will address any issues you may be facing with latching, pain, volume intake and more. We can also discuss a back to work strategy and how to most effectively use your pump while away from your baby.
Follow up visits available until problems resolve.
Virtual visits
Provided on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform, virtual visits are a convenient and simple way to consult with me for prenatal consults, follow ups, questions, and back-to-work planning. While sometimes an in-home visit may be needed instead, this type of visit offers flexibility and options for support, especially in a post-pandemic world!
In-home visits
Whether you gave birth days before and are learning to feed your newborn, needing help with infant weight gain, are experiencing lactation-related breast problems, or any other issues you may be facing, home visits allow families to spend 60-90 mins with an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant in the comfort of your own home. During this time I will assess the problem, offer support for your experience, and set forth a plan to help you meet your goals—whatever those may look like! Follow up visits available until problems resolve.
