Lactation consulting services,
wherever you are in the feeding journey.
Expert Care For You and Your Little Gift
Every infant feeding journey is different—and no part of yours should feel like something you just have to push through. I offer in-home and virtual lactation consulting services in Denver and the surrounding suburbs. Depending on your exact location, a small travel fee may be applicable.
Below is a list of lactation challenges I can help you work through. Don't see your exact situation? Reach out anyway. If I'm not the right fit, I'll help you find someone who is.
Most visits are fully covered by insurance. Learn more.
Prenatal Visits
You don't have to wait until baby arrives to get support—in fact, some of my most beneficial visits happen before the birth.
A prenatal appointment is a relaxed opportunity to build your confidence, ask every question on your list, and walk into those first days postpartum knowing what to expect.
Together we can cover:
How milk supply actually works (it's supply and demand—I'll explain)
What normal newborn feeding looks like: hunger cues, feeding patterns, and what those first days really involve
Latch and positioning practice, so it's not brand new at 3 am
Your pump: assembly, settings, and finding the right flange size
Hand expression and collecting colostrum
Anything in your health history that could affect supply and breastfeeding, so we have a plan in place, not a surprise later
Prenatal visits work well in person or virtually, and they're especially valuable if you're a first-time mom, expecting multiples, or had a previous challenging feeding experience.
Latch & positioning
A painful or shallow latch is one of the most common reasons families call me—and one of the most fixable. Some discomfort in the early days is common, but ongoing pain, damaged nipples, or dreading the next feed are signs something needs adjusting. You don't have to grit your teeth and bear it.
During a visit, I'll watch a full feed from start to finish, right in the spot where you normally nurse. We'll look at how your baby is latching, how they're positioned, how milk is transferring, and cues that tell us when your baby is full—then make hands-on adjustments in real time so you can feel the difference, not just hear about it.
This is where home visits really shine: we work in your actual chair, with your actual pillows, your actual pump, your actual setup. No recreating anything in an office. By the end, you'll have a latch that works and know how to be successful when things shift.
Milk supply
Concerns about milk supply keep more moms up at night than almost anything else. Is baby getting enough? How do I know when my baby is actually full? Why did my supply dip when my baby started sleeping through the night?
These are some of the most common questions I hear—and there's almost always a clear answer once we look at the full picture.
I help with:
Low supply: investigating the actual cause (there are many) and building a realistic plan to increase it
Oversupply: managing the discomfort, leaking, and fast letdown that can make feeds stressful for both you and baby
Engorgement: providing strategies to manage and relieve symptoms
Sudden changes: troubleshooting any changes with supply or feeds
We'll assess how much milk your baby is actually transferring during a feed, look at your feeding and pumping routine, and make a plan built around your goals.
Triple feeding, pumping and bottles
Whether you pump occasionally or pump exclusively, this deserves just as much support as breastfeeding does.
As a lactation consultant for exclusive pumping families, I know that pumping is breastfeeding, and that the right setup makes all the difference between sustainable and exhausting.
Together we can sort out:
Triple feeding and how to simplify the process
Flange sizing (the single most common pumping problem I see, and most moms are using the wrong size)
Pump settings, schedules, and output troubleshooting
Milk storage guidelines you can actually remember
Introducing a bottle without disrupting nursing
And if your baby flat-out refuses the bottle, you're not alone. As a lactation consultant, I provide strategies to avoid bottle refusal.
If the problem does arise, I'll help you work through gentle, proven strategies to address the issue before the pressure of a return-to-work date arrives.
Returning to work
Going back to work while breastfeeding can feel like solving a logistical nightmare while sleep-deprived, but with a plan in place, it's completely doable.
This is one of the most valuable times to book a visit, ideally two to three weeks before your return to work date.
Together we'll build a plan that covers:
Personalized pumping schedules designed to fit your actual workday, including busy meeting schedules and long commutes
How much milk your baby needs while you're apart (usually less than you think)
Building a freezer stash without exhausting yourself
Keeping your supply steady through the transition
Bottle introduction, if your baby hasn't taken one yet
Plenty of moms are told they'll "have to see how it goes." I'd rather you walk into your first day back with a plan you trust. I’ll also only be a text away if anything goes sideways.
Multiples, preemies & NICU graduates
Feeding twins or triplets, or bringing home a baby who spent their first days, weeks, or months in the NICU, comes with its own set of questions—and honestly, this is where my background matters most.
After years as a Level IV NICU nurse, preemies and medically complex babies aren't unfamiliar territory for me. They're where I started.
I can help with:
Feeding plans for twins and triplets, including tandem positioning that saves your arms and your sanity
Transitioning a NICU graduate from fortified feeds or bottles toward your breastfeeding goals
Building and maintaining supply if your baby arrives early or you've been pumping from day one
Weight gain monitoring, to ensure that your baby is on track
Untangling conflicting advice you may have received along the way
If your start was harder than expected, you haven't missed your window. There's so much we can still do to support your breastfeeding goals.
Weaning
Weaning gets far less attention than the rest of the breastfeeding journey—but how you end things deserves just as much care as how you start.
Whether your baby is six weeks or two years old, whether you're ready now or just starting to think about it, weaning deserves a solid plan, not just "drop a feed and see."
Together we'll create a gradual approach that:
Protects you from engorgement, clogged milk ducts, and mastitis
Moves at a pace that feels right for you and your baby—weeks or months, your call
Covers what to replace feeds with, based on baby's age
Prepares you for the hormonal and emotional shifts that can sometimes come with weaning
And this matters: your reason for weaning doesn't need justifying. Ready to be done is reason enough. My job is to support your goals—including this one—with zero judgment and a plan that keeps you comfortable.
Virtual visits
Live outside my travel radius? Prefer support without a visitor? Virtual appointments make lactation consulting services accessible no matter where you are.
Virtual visits are a great fit for:
Prenatal consultations
Pumping support: settings, schedules, and storage questions
Milk supply concerns: low, high, or suddenly different
Navigating engorgement or blocked ducts, with guidance on relief and when to seek in-person care
Return-to-work planning
Building a weaning plan
All you need is a phone or laptop and a decent internet connection—I'll guide you through the rest, including camera angles if we're assessing a feed. You'll get the same listening ear, the same clear plan, and the same text access between visits as an in-home appointment.
Not sure whether your situation suits virtual? Just ask—I'll tell you honestly.
You don't have to wait
until you're struggling.
Whether you're expecting, home with a brand-new baby, or months into your feeding journey and ready for a change, reach out. We'll start with a free 15-minute phone call to talk through what's going on and see how I can help.
