Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn’t mean it comes naturally to everyone. As a lactation counselor, I can work with you to find answers to the problems you’re having with feeding your baby. I offer in home visits for those in Manhattan, Keats, Saint George, and Wamego. If you’re interested in an in home visit and live outside of that area, please contact me to discuss my fee for added travel. I also offer virtual consultations for those interested. For those giving birth in Manhattan, Kansas I can also visit you in person during your hospital stay after your baby is born. This is especially helpful if you have your baby over the weekend and the hospital’s lactation consultant is not available. A consultation includes an assessment of baby, an assessment of the breastfeeding parent, and assistance with latch and positioning. We will collaborate to find solutions so you can reach your breastfeeding goals. I also offer prenatal consultations to help you prepare for your breastfeeding journey before it has begun. Prenatal consultations are offered as a virtual service.
I am still working with clients to fulfill my required hours for certification.
I am offering special prices on initial consultations to those that get a prenatal consultation, as well as those that hire me as their birth doula!
Lactation Counseling
Birth can feel scary, but it’s easier when you have a good support system. As a birth doula, I’ll help prepare you for what birth looks like, and then I’ll be there to support you through it. A birth doula provides comfort both emotionally and physically during labor. The comfort a doula can provide is beneficial for any part of labor, but can be especially helpful if you’re planning an unmedicated birth. I currently only offer birth doula services virtually. This is a good option for those that want the extra support, but don’t want the extra person in the room.
I have worked as a birth doula already, but I need more clients in order to become fully certified. For that reason, I am offering a special discount until I fulfill that requirement. Please contact me or schedule a discovery call to discuss the discount.
Birth Doula Services
A birth plan lets your whole birth team understand what you want and don’t want during your labor. It can be hard to know what decisions you have to make, and can feel overwhelming when hospital staff does things that you didn’t already know about. In a birth plan counseling session, we’ll go over all the options you have. I’ll provide information on as many options as I can, so you can make informed decisions before you go into labor. We’ll discuss the different ways that birth can look, so you can feel prepared even if things go differently than how you originally wanted.
Birth plan counseling is included for all doula clients.
