Why I’m Transitioning to Concierge Lactation and Postpartum Care

Hi, Mama. I’m so glad you’re here!
I’ve been sitting with this shift for a while now—listening to the families I support, reflecting on what really makes a difference in those tender early weeks, and asking myself how I can show up in the most impactful way. The truth is: I’m stepping away from the one-and-done model of lactation care. I’m moving toward something deeper, more consistent, and more connected.
I’m transitioning to a concierge-level model of lactation and postpartum support.
Now before you wonder, “Wait, what even is that?”—let me explain.

What Is Concierge Lactation Support?
Concierge care is a more intimate, elevated level of support. Instead of one or two visits and then a goodbye, I’m right there beside you—before your baby arrives, through the wild ride of birth, and into the fourth trimester and beyond. I’m not just popping in; I’m walking with you.
This means:
Prenatal planning sessions to prepare you and your partner.
Priority booking and guaranteed availability—no frantic emails or long waitlists.
Extended home visits with time to breathe, feed, cry, laugh, and truly be seen.
24/7 access to me via secure messaging because feeding challenges don’t only happen during office hours.
Personalized care plans that evolve with you—not cookie-cutter printouts.
Ongoing emotional and mental health check-ins, because postpartum is a whole-body, whole-family experience.
Why I Made the Shift
I’ve been doing this work for nearly a decade, supporting breastfeeding families as an IBCLC, RN, and mom of two. And while I loved helping so many people through high-volume care, I started to notice something: families don’t just need a lactation consult. They need continuity. They need someone in their corner. Someone they trust who knows their baby’s name and their story. Someone who can say, “We’ve got this,” and mean it.
This shift in how I work is about depth over quantity. Instead of squeezing in more visits, I’m holding space for fewer families—so each of you gets more of me.
Yes, it was a mindset shift. And yes, it’s a little scary. But it’s the right kind of scary. The kind that comes with growth and purpose.
And No—This Isn’t Out of Reach for You
One of the biggest myths I hear?“But concierge care isn’t covered by insurance.”
Let me tell you something important: IT IS.
These packages are reimbursable. We submit everything as a comprehensive service bundle, and in most cases, families are reimbursed based on the dates services are rendered. I’ll walk you through it. I’ve got your back.
Just because the care feels elite, doesn’t mean it’s out of reach. This is about creating access to better, not more expensive.
More Than Just Lactation Support
Here’s what else makes this model special: I’m not just a lactation consultant.
I’m a registered nurse with 12+ years of experience in the NICU, pediatrics, and perinatal care. I’m a certified pediatric sleep consultant. A postpartum doula. And a certified perinatal mental health provider through Postpartum Support International.
What does this mean for you?
It means when you work with me, you’re not just getting someone to fix a latch. You’re getting someone who understands the bigger picture—your baby's sleep, your recovery, your hormones, your heart, your family dynamic.
You Deserve This Level of Care
I know what it’s like to have small children. To be postpartum. To feel the joy and the overwhelm at the same time. I’m a mom to two wild and wonderful toddler boys, and a wife to my high school sweetheart. I’m in this with you.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.You don’t have to wonder if what you're experiencing is “normal.”You don’t have to keep Googling at 2 AM.
You deserve someone who sees you, holds space for you, and helps you confidently find your rhythm as a parent.
That’s what this model allows me to do.That’s what you deserve.
