Virtual Consultation (30-60 minutes)....$100
Do you have breastfeeding questions that don't necessarily require an in-person appointment?
Are you currently pregnant and seeking breastfeeding education? I offer a prenatal breastfeeding consult to discuss your specific goals, questions/concerns and what to expect with breastfeeding.
We will discuss your breastfeeding/lactation concerns and determine a care plan to reach your individualized goals.
Please note: While many questions can be answered virtually, if I feel that the health and safety of you or your baby requires an in-person appointment I will recommend an in-person consult with either myself or another appropriate healthcare provider.
