I am a lactation consultant (IBCLC). I offer in-home consultations in Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, and Ulster Counties. Telehealth is available for all locations. Self-pay clients will be provided a superbill to file for reimbursement. Insurance covered visits are available for Aetna, United Health Care, and Blue Cross Blue Shield.

I can help you feed your baby.

During an initial in-home consultation we will discuss your medical history and assess both you and your baby in relation to infant feeding. We will use a scale to track your baby's intake while feeding, and will work together to design a plan that works for both you and your baby. Initial consultations last around 90 minutes and follow up visits take around 60 minutes. Please try to avoid feeding your baby during the hour prior to the visit so they will want to eat during our appointment.

Virtual appointments address the same issues, but without the option of a weighted feed. They are 60 minutes for an initial visit. It is helpful if you have videos of your baby’s behaviors that you want to work on.

I offer home visits in the following areas:
