My Approach
There is no single feeding experience that looks the same for every family.
I listen first.
​
Then we look at what is happening, what you would like to change, and what kind of support would be useful.
My role is to support and educate you, not to make you feel judged.
If something falls outside my scope, I will encourage you to speak with the appropriate healthcare professional.
How the Intake Works
The intake asks about your pregnancy, birth, medical background, your baby's feeding, sleeping, growth, and anything else that may be relevant to your feeding experience.
​
This gives me an opportunity to understand your situation before we meet and helps us use our consultation time effectively.
What to Expect in a Consultation
Intake Analysis
I will review the information you provide during your intake and identify the main areas you would like help with.
We will talk about your feeding goals, what is currently working, what is difficult, and what you would like to change.
Feeding Assessment & Support
During the consultation, we will discuss your baby's feeding and observe feeding when possible.
I can teach practical techniques to help improve feeding, including latch and positioning support, paced bottle feeding, pumping guidance, and ways to make feeding more comfortable.
Personalized Feeding Plan
Together, we will create a practical plan based on your goals and your family's needs.
You will receive recommendations and a written plan.​
