Frequently asked questions

Do I offer in person appointment?

I see clients in person in north Snohomish/Skagit counties in Washington State. All other visits are virtual. This is easy, fast and secure. With a virtual visit we can usually meet within 1-2 days without any driving, parking, or even needing childcare for your toddler. I use a HIPAA compliant platform, Google Meet for secure video visits.

Can you help me with bottle and formula feeding?

YES! I can help with any and ALL infant feeding needs. There is NO judgement from me on how you choose to feed your child. If you exclusively breast-feed, bottle feed, pump and bottle or any mix- that's entirely up to you. My job here is to support you, educate and give options to help you attain your goals. We can even work together for solid foods!
