Because your situation and needs will be unique, we tailor support around you. Below are some of the typical services we provide as well as information on payment, travel area and more.

In-Home One-on-One Visit

  • The first visit is $195
    (up to 1.5 hours)
  • Additional hours are $100 (Fractions are offered in $25/15 min. blocks)
  • A block of 4 hours for multiple feeds, education and support is $395 ($50 savings)

Phone Call Consultations

First 10 minutes free, then $25 every 15 minutes.

In-Home Classes

$150 for up to 2 hours. Have a personal and personalized Breastfeeding 101 course in your home. You are free to invite family and friends to join in on the class - anyone who is going to be a part of your support network. There is no limit to the class size, but generally keeping it under 10 people makes for a more manageable class.

Skype/Video Chats

$100 per hour (fractions offered in $25/15 min blocks). We always prefer in-person, one-on-one time, but sometimes that’s not possible. During those times, Skype or online video chats can be a great way to help. They can also be especially helpful for certain types of follow-up appointments, depending on your needs and wants.

Insurance Coverage

Some insurers cover services by IBCLCs, while others do not. We require private pay for all appointments, but we do provide an insurance form to apply for reimbursement from your insurance company. If your insurer rejects the claim, you can typically use Flexible Spending and Health Savings Accounts to reimburse you for lactation services.

Fees and Payments

Payment is required at the time of your visit. We accept cash, check or credit cards. You’ll receive an invoice and an insurance reimbursement form for all visits.

Distance

We are based in San Carlos and travel to the greater part of the Peninsula and Coast. Visits to San Jose, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz require an additional travel charge of $60.

Cancellations

If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, please do so by phone, with as much time as possible. Appointments cancelled within 24 hours of your scheduled time will be charged 50% of the rate.
