Services
Breastfeeding can be difficult. Thankfully you don't have to do it alone.
Connect with me for in home lactation, breastfeeding, chestfeeding, and infant feeding support for you and your newborn completed virtually via HIPAA compliant and secure Google Meet. In-home visits available for Boston, MA and the Northshore.
Gift certificates are available via my booking website to add to your baby registry, or to give as a gift!
A $50 non-refundable deposit is due when the visit is scheduled. The balance is due at the end of your visit. Initial visits for new clients are $300. Follow up visits for established patients are $250. Payments are completed through Square.
I am currently not in network with any health insurance companies. A superbill will be provided for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Under the ACA, lactation services are required to be covered by your health insurance without cost sharing. The National Women's Law Center offers a toolkit and a one page handout to help guide you on reimbursement.

Breastfeeding/pumping While Traveling Visit
1-1.5 hours
Traveling soon and not sure how to mange breastfeeding/chestfeeding or pumping while you're away. Connect for concrete recommendations to make travel easier whether your little one will be with you or staying home.

Flange fitting
30 minutes
Can be added on to an in-person visit after the first initial visit. An in-home inital visit focuses on directly breastfeeding your baby, unless you plan to exclusively pump. Flange measuring and fitting is best accomplished prior to breastfeeding, which is not easy with a baby who is ready to eat!
Virtual flange fittings require parent to take a photo of each nipple with a ruler prior to appointment and e-mail to HIPPA compliant email address. Photo will be used to recommend via e-mail flanges for you to purchase and try on during our virtual visit. Visit will be rescheduled for after you have received the recommended sizes in the mail. Pump flanges not included in cost of visit, average $20-40.
