Frequently Asked Questions

Still wondering about something? Reach out any time. I'm happy to help you find the right next step.

An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) holds the highest, internationally recognized credential in lactation care. It requires rigorous clinical training, supervised hands-on experience, and passing a comprehensive board exam. When you work with an IBCLC, you get evidence-based clinical management of breastfeeding, chestfeeding, and human-milk feeding, delivered with compassion, not guesswork.

Yes. Virtual consultations are highly effective, and many families prefer them. With a little preparation, good lighting and a couple of short feeding videos. I can assess latch, positioning, milk transfer, and pumping just as thoroughly, and you receive the same personalized care plan. Virtual appointments are available to families across Canada.

Book whenever you need support. For prenatal preparation, the third trimester (about 28–36 weeks) is ideal. After birth, reach out as soon as feeding feels hard, early support usually leads to better, faster outcomes. And it's never 'too late': I help with challenges well beyond the newborn stage, including pumping, low supply, and the return to work.

Coverage varies by provider. Many extended-health and RN-eligible plans reimburse lactation or nursing services, either fully or in part. I provide a detailed receipt for every visit so you can submit for reimbursement. I recommend checking with your individual insurer beforehand to confirm what your plan includes.

That's completely normal, start with the contact form and tell me a little about where you are and what you're hoping for. I'll help you choose the service that fits your situation, whether that's a prenatal class, a full IBCLC consultation, a flange fitting, or ongoing support.

Have a question that isn't here? Send me a message and I'll answer personally.
