Full Spectrum Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding Counseling 

Whether you've just arrived home from a complicated hospital birth and need extensive breastfeeding support, need basic assistance to manage feeding your infant, or are nursing an older baby or child, I can help. Research shows that competent support from a knowledgeable counselor makes a huge difference in helping parents meet their feeding goals.

In response to the increase in postpartum separation that I'm seeing as a result of COVID-19 and the resulting increases in postpartum mood disoreders, trauma, and lactation difficulties, I've developed a new service that I'm excited to offer to families in Minneapolis and St. Paul communities.

For families who experienced a traumatic birth experience or separation after birth that is affecting lactation and parent-child bonding, causing lactation issues, especially non-latching baby, and/or are experiencing postpartum mood disorders and post-traumatic stress due to the birth experience. This session includes a full lactation assessment, as well as a guided rebirthing that includes co-bathing and a period of skin-to-skin contact that will mimic the experience of gentle birth for you and your infant, healing trauma and leading to improvements in bonding and breastfeeding/chestfeeding.

Instead of my regular sliding scale fee, I'm charging a standard flat rate fee of $200 for this 3-to-4 hour session, which is waivable for families who are Black, Indigenous, POC, transgender, or survivors of COVID-19 during birth or pregnancy. If you identify as any of these and are interested in support for healing birth trauma and establishing breastfeeding or chestfeeding, please let me know and I can crowd-fund the finances necessary to cover my costs.
