+ How do I book a consultation with you?

You can book directly through our website using the below button.

If you feel that you would like to chat before booking, please reach out.

For emergencies and additional availability, please contact us at (270) 938-3404 (text or call).

+ Do you have an office?

Yes, our office is located in Northern Warren County/Plum Springs area. Please note: Only ONE support person is allowed to attend your consultation with you (no siblings/other children).

+ Do you provide in home consultations?

Yes, our in home service area is Bowling Green, KY and the surrounding 20 mile radius. The distance will be calculated from our office. Travel surcharges apply for visits greater than 20 miles. Please Note: In home consults have limited availability

+ Do you charge a travel fee for in home consults?

If you are in my service area, I don't. If you aren't in my service area, trust me, I wish I didn't have to. But, when I have to drive more than 30 minutes to see you, that leaves me less time in the day to see other clients. You can always come and see me in office, if you want to avoid the additional fees.

+ Do you accept insurance?

No, I do not accept insurance. I will provide you with a superbill that can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement for my services; unfortunately I can’t guarantee that they’ll do so. I do not offer refunds for services rendered for any reason.

+ You will fix all my problems during our visit, right?

I hope so! Some breastfeeding problems can be solved immediately. Others take practice, hard work, follow up visits, and the element of time. I will be here for you every step of the way to guide you and be your #1 fan.

+ I have a breastfeeding or pumping problem/question. I don't really feel like I need consultation, can I just text you?

No, sorry! I can’t give you individualized advice or care without a signed consent form and your health history. This would be irresponsible and unethical.

Sickness, Germs, and My Policies.....

+ What if I am sick (or someone in my house is sick) at the time of my consultation?

If you have mastitis or a plugged duct, don't cancel your consultation! But, if you or anyone in your home, at the time of your visit, is sick- please cancel and reschedule. I will always give you the same courtesy. I work with newborns who may be fragile or immunocompromised, and I would never want to spread any illnesses.

+ Will you come to my house if I am sick (or someone in my house is sick)?

If you have mastitis or a plugged duct, yes, I will come! There is no reason to cancel, as we can work on it together and develop a plan. If you or anyone in your home, at the time of your visit, is sick- please cancel and reschedule. I will always give you the same courtesy. I work with newborns who may be fragile or immunocompromised, and I would never want to spread any illnesses.

+ What if you are sick?

If I am sick (or anyone in my home is sick), I will cancel and reschedule! I’ll contact you as soon as possible to discuss rescheduling. Your health and safety is very important to me.

+ Are you fully vaccinated?

Yes, I am. This includes being fully vaccinated for COVID-19. I will not ask for your vaccination status.

Can You Help Me With.....

+ I can't get my baby to take a bottle- can you help?

Yes, I do bottle consults! There is normally a reason baby won't (or is having trouble) taking a bottle. We can work to get to the bottom of it. I have lots of tricks.

+ My baby is on formula- can you help?

Yes, I work with families who are supplementing with formula, donor milk, and who exclusively formula feed. For example, families book my services for oral assessments, post frenectomy help, bottle refusal, or other issues/concerns with bottles.

+ I have multiples- can you help?

YES!!! Multiples are so fun. Give me all the babies.

+ I want to know if my baby has a tongue tie- can you help?

Yes, I can complete a functional oral assessment, which includes assessing for indicators, signs, and symptoms of oral restrictions (tongue, lip, or buccal ties). Referrals will be made, if necessary.

+ I exclusively pump- can you help?

YES! EPing is a full time job. I work with EPing families all of the time to help with supply, comfortability, and developing a schedule that allows you to maintain your sanity while reaching your goals.

+ I'm tandem nursing- can you help?

YES! I can help you if you are tandem nursing and want to continue or if you wish to stop.

+ I want to wean- can you help?

Of course! Whether your baby is 2 weeks or 4 years old, I won't try to convince you to keep breastfeeding or shame you. If it isn't working for the mother AND baby, then it simply isn't working. I can help you figure out a plan to fully or partially wean.

+ I need help building a stash/returning to work/etc- can you help?

Yes. I offer return to work pumping consults! Clients find them VERY helpful.

+ I'm pregnant- can you help me now?

Yes, I happily do prenatal consults to help you launch your breastfeeding journey, whether this is your first baby or last. There can be things in your health history or anatomy that affect lactation, and we can make sure that you have a solid plan in place to address these issues before they present.

After baby is born, families will often contact me in the first couple of days of baby’s life to then schedule the first home visit around day 4-6. If things aren’t going well, then we can certainly meet sooner (even in the hospital).

About Me.....

+ Tell me about yourself?

I'm married with three girls (7,5, and 2). I am a homeschool mama and business owner. I love all things babies and breastfeeding. I am obsessed with graphic tees, headbands, leggings, coffee, Netflix, podcasts, and baths. My hobbies are sitting down for five seconds and peeing alone. I stay up way too late and am always tired. I am probably a lot like you!

+ How do I know if I will be comfortable meeting with you?

Clients have described me as warm, helpful, non-judgmental, funny, friendly, relatable, realistic, and supportive. I pride myself on being accepting of all people and families. I know that every family is unique with their own parenting style and breastfeeding/pumping goals. I also know that you care about your baby and are doing the very best that you can. Babies are overwhelming, and I am here to help you figure out your parenthood and feeding journey.
