We offer home visits and virtual appointments. Home visits are typically 1-1.5 hours and usually involve checking your baby’s weight, and observing a feeding session while performing a “weighted feed” (weighing the baby before and after feeding to assess their milk transfer). We’ll come up with a plan that addresses your concerns. I’ll also perform an oral assessment on your baby to assess for any oral function challenges as well as use craniosacral therapy techniques to release tension.

Virtual appointments are available. These are a great option for specific issues such as milk supply, pumping and feeding routines, returning to work or prenatal sessions.
