Do you offer in-home lactation visits in my area?

Yes — I provide in-home lactation support throughout North County San Diego, including San Marcos, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, Escondido, Encinitas, and nearby communities. If you’re unsure whether I travel to your location, reach out and I’ll be happy to confirm.

Do you offer virtual lactation consultations?

Absolutely. I offer secure telehealth lactation support to families anywhere in California. Virtual visits are a great option if you live outside North County or simply prefer the convenience of meeting from home.

What should I expect during my first lactation consultation?

During your visit, I’ll take time to listen to your concerns, observe a feeding, and provide personalized, evidence-based guidance. We’ll make a care plan together to help you feel confident and supported in your feeding journey.

Do you provide healthcare navigation assistance?

Yes. In addition to lactation support, I help families navigate the healthcare system — from understanding referrals and follow-up care, understanding insurance coverage to connecting with pediatricians, specialists, and community resources.

Are you a certified IBCLC?

I am a Registered Nurse (RN, BSN) and Lactation Consultant who has completed all the requirements to sit for the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) exam. I’m currently an IBCLC candidate and look forward to adding this credential soon.

Can you help with pumping and bottle feeding?

Yes. I support families with exclusive pumping, bottle feeding, returning to work, and combination feeding. My goal is to help you feed your baby in the way that works best for your family.

Do you accept insurance for lactation visits?

At this time, I do not bill insurance directly, and most insurance plans do not cover visits with a Lactation Consultant outside their contracted networks. I provide a receipt (superbill) you can submit to your insurance, but reimbursement is not guaranteed. Many families choose to use HSA or FSA funds to cover services.
