My postnatal support services include personalized one-on-one sessions to address common breastfeeding issues, such as latching difficulties, sore nipples, and milk supply concerns.

I also provide guidance on supplementation and formula use then necessary. My goal is to ensure you feel confident and supported throughout your breastfeeding journey, helping you and your baby establish a successful and rewarding feeding routine. 

Formula Selection 

Not all formulas are created equal. While they all contain the necessary macro and micronutrients for development, some protein sources are easier to digest. Some babies microbiomes may react better to others. Premies and babies that spent time in the NICU or had trouble gaining weight require even more consideration when it comes to formula as some protein and processing techniques do not allow adequate weight gain. 

Clogged Milk Ducts and Mastitis

Specialized care to treat and prevent clogged milk ducts and mastitis, ensuring comfortable and effective breast-feeding. I offer therapeutic ultrasound treatments, biomechanical assessments, Kinesiotaping, and bodywork to quickly relieve blockages and reduce inflammation - promoting healing and preventing recurrence.
