Lactation Consultations
Lactation support is a game changer! I can help with understanding newborn behavior, clogged ducts, painful latch, newborn weight gain and oral function challenges, supply, pumping, return to work, dual feeding and lactation cessation.
Many insurances will cover 100% the costs of prenatal and postpartum lactation support and education with IBCLCs.
Parent Mentoring & Childbirth Education
Interested in the knowledge, empowerment and intimacy that can come through personalized childbirth education? Wishing for a non-judgmental friend to help you find your footing?
I offer value/goal centered mentoring and support for families in the childbearing year and postpartum.
This is an inclusive Infant Feeding Support Practice, that helps not only breastfeeding parents, but also specializes in pumping and bottle-feeding support. Welcome!
“At every step of the way, as I made decisions for myself and my baby, she provided me with all the information and research needed to make the most informed choice, and she never questioned or pressured me to do anything other than what my instincts told me.”
“Tara supported us through the many stages of learning to successfully breastfeed twins. She was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and professional. And the fact that she came to our home to help and sent detailed follow-up notes made everything significantly easier. We couldn’t have done it without her.”
