Lactation Education/Support- (currently unavailable)
$20/hour

"Human milk is the preferred feeding for all infants, including premature and sick newborns...infant nutrition should be considered a public health issue and not only a lifestyle choice.... It is recommended that breastfeeding continue for at least the first 12 months, and thereafter for as long as mutually desired." 
                                                                                                                            -A.A.P. Breastfeeding Policy Statement

Congratulations on deciding to breastfeed your baby!  Even though breastfeeding is the most natural way to feed a child, it doesn't always come naturally.  But do not be discouraged or afraid to ask for help!  Having a trained lactation counselor can make the first few weeks as you learn how to feed your baby less stressful and even more enjoyable.  

The services I provide include, but are not limited to:

  • Private classes before the baby arrives to prepare (if desired)
  • Helping with positioning problems
  • Assistance with relieving pain with breastfeeding
  • Advice on treating  the common breastfeeding problems such as thrush, engorgement and mastitis
  • Information about weaning babies from breastfeeding to other alternatives (or teaching about baby-led weaning)
  • Feeding an adopted baby
  • Ways to increase milk supply
  • Pumping and going back to work
  • Continuing breastfeeding during pregnancy

Please contact me to set up an appointment or ask any questions.  Prices are currently negotiable until I am fully certified.


I will never turn a family away due to financial struggles.  Sliding scales and bartering are always welcome!
