Lactation Consultations
Though body feeding is a natural way to feed an infant, it doesn't always come naturally.
I believe human milk is GOLD STAR nutrition for human babies and I also believe that creating sustainable feeding plans is of paramount importance in preserving a parent's mental and emotional health.

As a Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I work with you to address the challenges that may come with early feeding and support you in achieving YOUR feeding goals.

-Ton & Anmao
Having seen 5 lactation consultants, I can really say that Jen is hands down the best of the best.
Talking to Jen has always been like a breath of fresh air ~ she is ever so open minded & completely free of judgment.
During early post-partum days, both me and my husband felt like she had the most therapeutic presence out of everyone we came across."

Feeding Education
Learn about what to expect and how to navigate feeding before your baby arrives. Create a feeding plan for the first 72 hours post delivery and get feeding off on the right foot.
feeding Challenges
Address challenges such as position & latch discomfort, a sleepy/fussy baby, large/low milk supply, breast/chest augmentation/reduction, anatomical complications, pre-term delivery, previous medical history, formula or donor milk supplementation, bottle refusal, clogs, mastitis or thrush.
feeding Transitions
Plan for first pump, introduction of bottles, sleeping longer stretches, being away from your baby, returning to work, introduction of solid foods or weaning.
Most families need
3-6 lactation visits within the first 6-months of their baby's life.
Because of this, I strongly recommend booking the 4-visit package for a cost savings which includes unlimited messaging support between our scheduled visits. This ensures the most comprehensive support with the best outcomes.

Testimonials...
This is not some thing she does just because she loves babies. She’s well-trained, well-read, and well-practiced in caring for both newborns and nervous new parents.
The main thing you need to know about Jen is that she has total professional commitment.
Steve & Val
She sets everyone at ease with her warmth, confidence, and reassurance. We also admired the way she was able to come up with flexible strategies that were specific to our baby and family dynamic, rather than advocating a single, fixed philosophy of care, which is what the baby books do.
What really sets Jen apart is that she has exceptional expertise both with babies AND in communication in general.
