For immediate lactation help, check my availability for an in-home lactation visit.  If you do not see a same-day appointment, contact me and I will check for same-day openings that may have come up.  Your medical insurance may cover lactation consultations – check the list below to see if your lactation consultation can be covered.  Your breastfeeding success is more important to me than booking me as your provider; if I’m not available, I will refer you to a Lactation Consultant who may be able to serve you sooner for faster relief and problem-solving.

I am a graduate of the Lactation Consultant Program (USCD) where I also trained as a Certified Lactation Educator Counselor.  I have counseled dozens of women through breastfeeding and it is my passion to provide a virtual lactation counseling visit to a new mother and women who are having another baby.

I service the greater LA area for in-home lactation counseling sessions. You may also have me come to the hospital directly after your baby is born, and you can plan ahead and book me in advance – I’ll be on-call to do this for you 24/7.  I also provide this service (help establishing initial breastfeeding relationship) FREE for my Birth Doula clients after I help them through labor.  In addition, I provide virtual lactation counseling sessions through my HIPAA-compliant platform.

Breastfeeding isn’t just about feeding. It is a sacred bond only you can share with your baby. That being said, it can open women up to emotions they never knew they had which can be scary.  You should not have to go through this alone.  With a lactation consultation, you will be empowered and confident in your decisions and body, allowing you to focus on bonding with your baby.

It is important to address a breastfeeding issue to 1) ensure Baby is getting fed and 2) protect the mother’s milk supply as soon as there is an issue.  If you need immediate help, please contact me right away for a lactation counseling visit so we can fix any problems you may be having with breastfeeding your baby.  Let’s set you up for success!

Solutions to these common breastfeeding issues are addressed during a lactation consultation:

  • helping with feeding schedules
  • nipple care & prevention plan
  • cracked nipples and nipple pain
  • addressing oral ties (lip tie, tongue tie, posterior tongue tie, buccal/cheek ties)
  • determining the need for pumping plus when and how to start or reduce pumping
  • how to increase milk production naturally
