Feeding isn't one-size-fits-all. Neither is my care.
Before we ever build a plan, I take time to understand your concerns, your experience so far, and what success actually looks like for your family. Every visit starts with listening — not a checklist.
The Guided Feeding Method
1.See
Before I ever watch a feed, I connect with your family first. Then a full clinical assessment — you and your baby, together. As an RN and IBCLC, I'm checking things a lactation-only consultant wouldn't: vitals, oral structure, muscle tone, reflexes, physical recovery. Nothing gets skipped.
2.Find
Painful nursing, prolonged feedings, bottle refusal, poor weight gain, reflux-like symptoms, clicking, pumping difficulties — these rarely begin where they show up. Rather than treating the symptom in front of me, I look for what's actually behind it: latch mechanics, positioning, technique, oral function, body tension, growth, your own recovery and confidence. Every clinical tool, every visit, until we know what's really happening.
3.Guide
My role isn't to replace your instincts. It's to strengthen them. You leave every visit knowing not just what to do, but why — able to keep going on your own, not dependent on me being in the room.
4.Stay
Care doesn't end when I walk out the door. You have continuous access after every visit, and if something changes, you're not waiting in a queue.
No two care plans look exactly alike. Some families want reassurance before baby arrives. Others need help navigating something unexpected. Some just want an expert in their corner as their baby grows. Whatever brought you here, this is how I work — every time.
