Consultations typically last between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your specific needs. I’ll ensure we take the time necessary to address all of your questions and cover everything you want to discuss. Follow-up appointments are usually shorter and focus on tracking your progress, making adjustments as needed.

There’s no need to prepare anything specific for our visit. We'll plan to feed your baby around the appointment time, so if possible, try to time a feeding close to our session. Feel free to jot down any questions you have along the way—I love answering them! We’ll make sure to review them together at the end of our session, ensuring all your concerns are addressed.

As both an IBCLC (International Board of Lactation Consultant) and Registered Nurse, our services may be eligible for coverage with insurance companies such as Manulife, Sunlife, Great West Life (Canada Life), Desjardins, RBC Insurance and more. However, coverage can vary depending on your specific policy, so you can verify the details directly with your insurance provider. Additionally, it’s possible that our lactation consultation visit could qualify as a tax-deductible medical expense.

Yes, I have specialized training in supporting families navigating postpartum depression or anxiety. Breastfeeding and mental health often go hand in hand, and I create a safe, compassionate space to address both.

This is a common concern and can often be addressed with positioning adjustments, skin-to-skin contact, and patience. We’ll work together to identify the underlying issue and find solutions tailored to your baby’s needs, ensuring a positive feeding experience.

Absolutely! My goal is to support you in whatever feeding approach works best for your family, whether that’s breastfeeding, bottle-feeding breast milk, formula feeding, introducing solids, or a combination of these options. I’m here to provide guidance and help you feel confident in your feeding choices.

Each parent’s situation is unique, so I’ll begin by assessing factors like feeding frequency, your baby’s latch, and your medical history to identify any potential causes affecting your supply. From there, I’ll provide personalized strategies to help boost your milk production. After our consultation, I’ll also send you helpful links to recommended products, tips, a diet plan, and/or additional resources to support your journey.

Yes, it’s often possible to reintroduce breastfeeding even after bottle feeding. Keep in mind, this is a process that may take some time, and it might not happen overnight. I’ve worked with many families who faced challenges transitioning from bottle to breast, and with patience, commitment, and the right strategies, it’s definitely achievable!

This depends on your goals (e.g., returning to work, building a freezer stash). I’ll guide you on timing, pump selection, and creating a schedule that supports your milk supply.

Signs may include difficulty latching, frequent nursing sessions, and nipple pain. I specialize in identifying and supporting families navigating tongue/lip tie challenges.
