Chelsea was life-changing in my critical postpartum days, and I would not be breastfeeding my baby right now as I write this if not for her. I will sing her praises to anyone who will hear: WORK WITH CHELSEA. She was so kind, fast, knowledgeable, understanding, and supportive. When I was struggling with a very painful oversupply and scared of developing mastitis, Chelsea was there to help me create a plan that I could follow that would work for me and my baby. She helped me avoid any further complications or discomfort, and I was so grateful to be able to feel better and become even more comfortable nursing and pumping for my baby. Chelsea also was a big part of me getting more sleep at night, as she helped me create a pumping plan that would allow me to go longer stretches and get the critical longer periods of rest. I cannot urge you enough: CCONTACT CHELSEA TODAY. Your insurance may even cover it—mine did!!!!

Chelsea is wonderful! As a first time mom, I struggled to breastfeed my newborn son. We had a few lactation consultants meet us in the hospital, but none were as helpful as Chelsea. Through home visits she provided weighed feeds, advice on positioning, exercises we could do for our son’s mouth and jaw to improve his latch, and more. She is warm, professional, and gave me the confidence I needed to keep going. I would definitely recommend her to any mom looking for help nursing. Breastfeeding was challenging at first, but she made it possible for our family.

Chelsea was great! She visited me in my home, she didn’t feel like a stranger, she didn’t rush me, push her breastfeeding ideals or make me feel uncomfortable. I think breastfeeding is an intimate experience where you should feel relaxed and confident and she made me feel just that. My baby and I didn’t need much help but she provided that confidence I needed to keep going. Thank you from my healthy 2 month old and I! -a first time breastfeeding mom

Frequently asked questions

Do you accept insurance?

I check your insurance first — many plans cover lactation visits. Coverage depends on your plan and how many covered visits you've already used, so I verify before your visit and let you know what to expect.

What's the difference between an in-home visit and a virtual consult?

An in-home visit ($400) is me coming to you in the Sacramento area — unhurried, hands-on, with weighed feeds so you know baby is getting enough. A virtual consult ($150, 30 minutes) is a focused video visit for latch, pain, supply, or pumping questions — from anywhere.

When should I book?

The sooner the better — ideally before birth so we have a plan, or the moment feeding feels hard, painful, or you're wondering if baby is getting enough. You don't need to wait until it's a crisis.

What happens at a visit?

We watch a full feed together, check latch and positioning, do weighed feeds when needed, and you leave with a clear plan — plus you can reach me between visits.

What if I need more than one visit?

Many families do. That's why I offer concierge packages from pregnancy through baby's first 3 months — your nurse on speed dial, with support between visits. We can talk about it on a free 15-minute call.
