How Can I Help You?

I support families with all aspects of their feeding and lactation journeys:

  • Education on feeding babies and what are normal newborn behaviors before your baby arrives, which can help lessen anxiety

  • Newborn visits when you’re home from the hospital

  • Issues such as fussy or sleepy baby, slow weight gain, tongue tie, painful nursing, clogged ducts, not enough milk, too much milk, pumping, and bottle feeding

  • Teaching Hand Expression, as well as Therapeutic Massage for engorgement, plugged ducts, mastitis, and breast pain

  • Going-back-to-work consults to set up a workable plan, including pumping and bottle feeding

  • Helping parents induce lactation (if you have a pregnant partner/surrogate, or are adopting, and want to express milk or feed your baby from your body)

  • Weaning from formula, bottle feeding, pumping, using a nipple shield, breast/chest feeding, or making milk entirely

What to expect at a typical lactation consultation with your baby

Home Consultations:

  • Prenatal visit, $200, up to 75 minutes, helps lessen anxiety by knowing what’s normal and making me a member of your team (I won’t be a stranger when I meet your baby). We review your medical history and discuss realistic expectations and tools for your baby’s first week of life. This does not replace the full 3-hour feeding class, which you can take at your local hospital/resource center or online.

  • Initial home visit with your baby, $350, up to 90 minutes, includes full parent & baby assessment with care plan/resources, plus follow-up messaging/phone support.

  • Prenatal & New Baby Package: $400 (discount of $150), great for first-time parents or those having a second baby who know they’ll need extra support this time around.

  • Follow-up or Back to Work/Pumping/Bottle Feeding/Weaning visits are $200, 60-75 minutes, includes reassessment and updated care plan, plus follow-up messaging/phone support.

  • These are self-pay rates, and I will give you a Superbill if you’d like to submit for possible insurance reimbursement.

  • If you would like to use your Aetna/Meritain, Cigna, or other PPO insurance benefits, please see let me know. You can click here to verify your Cigna insurance or Anthem Virtual Lactation Program coverage through Wildflower Health, or click here to verify other (non-Aetna) PPO plans through The Lactation Network. Eligible clients receive 100% covered consultations. Once your insurance is verified, please schedule your home visit with me at the BOOK ONLINE button at the top or bottom of the page.

  • There is a $150 fee if you cancel within 24 hours and do not reschedule (illness excluded).

Telehealth Visits:

  • All self-pay video consults are $150 for up to 60 minutes. You may also check with your insurance company to see what your individual PPO coverage may be.

  • These are usually follow-up consults. Video means there is no weight check or hands-on assessments, but it’s no problem to talk you through a feeding or pumping session. HIPAA-compliant apps/video platform used.

Travel

I provide home visits in Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda, Emeryville, and Lamorinda (Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda), California. My schedule usually does not allow travel to other areas, but if it does, there is a $50 non-reimbursable home visit fee. If you think we might be a good fit and would like to find out more, please book online, send me an email, or give me a call. Thank you!
