Yes! I believe you get the best care when I can support you in your own environment.

I offer home visits throughout Northeast Los Angeles: Eagle Rock, Highland Park, Mount Washington, and in Glendale, Pasadena, and surrounding areas. A travel fee may apply to distances beyond 10 miles from 90041.

Depending on your needs and preferences, I also offer Telehealth appointments.

You may want to write down a list of questions (so you don’t forget to ask when I’m there) and talk with your partner to see if they would like to be present. I’m comfortable with pets and siblings so you don’t need to make special arrangements for them unless you would prefer.

We will try to scheule my visit at a time when your baby is hungry (but not hangry) or will wake soon.

What you don’t need to do is clean the house or put on makeup! I’m coming to support you so please don’t feel like you need to host me!

Prenatal consults are typically 45-60 minutes.

Consults that include an assesment of infant feeding will typically take 1.5-2 hours depending on when the infant is ready to feed and what intervention/s or support are needed.

Follow ups can vary in length from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on whether we are addressing latching, pumping, milk supply or breast/nipple concerns.

I always recommend at least one follow up visit after our first consult because your baby grows and changes so much in the first days, weeks, and months!

Another approach is to plan for lactation “check ups” at key milestones to ensure you are on track: During the first week (addressing initial concerns), the second week (assessing your milk production), around six weeks (when infant has a growth spurt), and before returning to work (or somewhere between 3-5 months).

We will likely cover a lot in our time together! I don’t expect you to remember everything, so I’ll provide you with a personalized lactation plan and some curated resources based on your needs.

After our initial consult, you are welcome to reach out with and additional questions: I may have a quick answer or we may need to schedule a follow up so I can reassess your latch or milk supply.

I am able to provide you with a Superbill you can submit to request insurance reimbursement.

I am partnered with The Lactation Network to offer consults covered by insurance with no out-of-pocket costs for you. To verify eligibility click here.

If you have an insurance that does not partner with TLN, I can provide you a Superbill to submit to your provider. I recommend checking with your insurance provider first as I may be considered “out of network” and they may not reimburse.

There’s no substitute for having an IBCLC assess your specific situation and help you know how to apply all the available information!
