PRIVATE LACTATION CONSULTATION (Scheduled at your convenience!)

Consults are provided by International Board Certified Lactation Consultants. We will schedule you within 2 hours of your call if needed. A personalized care plan will be provided to you and a copy of the chart will be sent to your pediatric office so that both facilities may work hand in hand for the best care possible. 24/7 phone service is available in case any further questions or issues arise. Unlimited follow ups are free of charge and scheduled at your convenience. An IBCLC is on site at all times to answer any questions you may have. 1 Hour Consult, Follow-ups are FREE! Consults are scheduled at your convenience and can also be scheduled in your own home for an additional fee.

NOTE: We truly value the time we spend with you and your baby. When an appointment is booked, that time is reserved exclusively for you. Cancellations, especially with short notice, can prevent us from offering that time to another client, as we sometimes have others on our waiting list who could have benefited from the appointment slot. We kindly ask for a 24-hour cancellation notice for consults. If the cancellation is made with less than 24 hours’ notice, a $25 cancellation fee will be applied.

CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION

The focus of this class will be preparing for labor, understanding your options, and having a toolkit of comfort measures! It is appropriate for first time couples or those looking for different options in their birth. Together we will discuss fears surrounding birth, the stages of labor, how to progress efficiently AND stay as comfortable as possible. We will explore things you can be doing NOW to prepare and have a smooth transition postpartum. When you fully understand your options, you can make confident decisions regarding your care! Taught by Certified Childbirth Educator and Doula, Tara Whithey. Each class is a 3 week series.
