As an Austin lactation consultant (IBCLC), I support families with all aspects of infant feeding, including breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, and combination feeding.

This includes concerns like latch difficulties, low or oversupply, pain with feeding, slow weight gain, reflux, bottle refusal, tongue and lip ties, and feeding transitions over time—while also supporting your mental health and nervous system throughout the postpartum period.

Many families in Austin choose ongoing lactation support not because something is wrong, but because they want things to keep going well.

Even when feeding feels smooth, there are always ways to refine and build on what’s working. We might explore more comfortable or sustainable feeding positions (like side-lying), practice nursing in a baby carrier, fine-tune your latch or milk transfer, or introduce pumping and bottles in a way that supports your goals.

We can also talk through sleep, developmental milestones, and the day-to-day realities of feeding as your baby grows—so you feel prepared, not caught off guard.

Yes. As an IBCLC in Austin, Texas, I work with many families navigating feeding challenges related to tongue ties, oral function, and painful or ineffective feeding.

Babies with tethered oral tissues may struggle with latch, milk transfer, weight gain, prolonged feeds, reflux-like symptoms, clicking, or difficulty feeding comfortably and efficiently. Parents may experience nipple pain, low milk supply, clogged ducts, or the feeling that feeding is taking over their entire day.

During our visits, I assess feeding, oral function, and milk transfer while looking at the bigger picture for both baby and parent. I also support families before and after frenotomy procedures, including help with breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, and protecting milk supply throughout the process.

Yes, as an IBCLC, I have specialized training in assessing oral motor function for all babies, both breastfed and bottle fed. I can help get your baby to take a bottle as you prepare to return to work or otherwise need to offer milk by bottle. I work with exclusively formula feeding families on bottle feeding and infant oral motor function as well.

Same-day appointments are sometimes available, depending on my schedule, and are often available with the purchase of a package for families who need more immediate postpartum support.

If you’re looking for urgent help, reaching out sooner rather than later gives us the best chance of finding a time that works. Please text 512.270.9280 if you need a same-day appointment or can’t find availability online that fits your schedule.

You can book during pregnancy or anytime postpartum. Many families choose to book early to ensure support is in place from the beginning, while others reach out when something feels off or they simply want more guidance.

If you’re unsure what you need, starting with a Parent Support Call is a great place to begin.

While I do not bill insurance directly, many insurance plans will reimburse for lactation visits with an IBCLC. I provide superbills that you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. HSA and FSA cards are also accepted for prenatal and postpartum lactation visits and packages. Ask me about payment plans for ongoing lactation support packages.

I provide in-home prenatal lactation consultations in Austin, Texas and the surrounding areas including Central Austin, South Austin, Westlake, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Dripping Springs, Buda, Kyle, and nearby communities. Please inquire if you live outside these areas. Virtual visits are available anywhere in the world.
