–Breastfeeding Support

Initial Consultation for breastfeeding support is free. This is where I will gather all information necessary to make an assessment and provide you with a plan. This might include a home visit for further assessment and hands on help/support, or it could just be virtual support. It depends on the difficulties mama and baby are having.

–Home visits- $55
Home visits are invaluable, this is the best way for me to help mamas
in a majority of situations. All home visits will come with our plan of
action, a copy of my contract and consent form, a folder or email of
handy pamphlets full of info precise to your journey/struggles and a
list of referrals you might need for any issues we’ve discussed in the
initial consultation. Any distance over 15 miles will have added travel
fees.

–Virtual Support- $50
This includes phone calls, emails, text messages and video calls. This
is a great option for mamas who don’t live local, but still need
assistance or have a simple to fix problem which will be determined
by the initial consult. Virtual support should not and will not replace
home visits. I love helping mamas and will always offer virtual
support, however there may be some cases where I have to advise you
to meet with someone local to you if you’re not local to me.

Postpartum Doula-$500

A postpartum doula is just as important as a birth doula. I offer support in more than one way, whether that’s with emotions or education. I do prefer to be hired before baby comes as it is so important to plan for your postpartum period just as it is your birth I also like to meet up with my mamas a couple of times before birth just to connect. If you’re out of my immediate service area a small travel fee might be included. For families that need it, I do offer a sliding scale. Payment plans are accepted and offered, but need to be paid in full before birth. Below is a list of services you will get with this bundle as well as some optional add on’s.

-5 hours of care, no more than 2 hours at a time.

-Includes 1 additional hour specifically for breastfeeding. If you’re not breastfeeding this additional hour will be added onto your 5 hours of PP care to total 6 hours of PP care. (I’m a Certified Breastfeeding Educator/Lactation Consultant)
