Alternatives
Video Consultations
Free of charge with approved insurance $125 self-pay | Up to 60 minutes
HIPPA compliant, secure, video consultations are offered for distance clients, sick clients, or those that just prefer it!
These video consults don’t have hands-on assessment but we do cover all concerns, watch/correct positioning, and make referrals as needed. There are many things that can be covered via video conference.
IN-HOME PRENATAL CLASS
Free of charge with approved insurance or $200 self-pay | 60 minutes
Private, in-home prenatal breastfeeding classes and prenatal nutrition consults. These can be especially valuable if you tend to operate better feeling “prepared” rather than trying to figure things out once your bundle of joy arrives. Some moms find it comforting to establish things like using their pump, discussing a plan for milk storage, and comfort techniques before the baby is here. We can tailor this class to your specific concerns/needs.

Additional Services
Phone Visits
$25 | Up to 30 minutes
While phone visits are not ideal, we realize that sometimes neither are the circumstances we find ourselves in. Maybe it’s past business hours or early in the morning and you’re in pain. Or, maybe you just need some reassurance (we all do!).
Generally, we can tackle some of the basics over the phone.
