Free “introductory” phone call (15 min)
It is important that you feel comfortable with your lactation consultant. These calls are an opportunity for you to talk with me in person so you can ask for the information about our services and get a feel for who I am as a person and what to expect during a visit. To put your mind at ease, I don’t have a sales pitch, and you will not be contacted afterwards unless you ask me to. This is a risk-free call.
Please note: For insurance purposes, I cannot give you specific lactation advice during this call. You have to be an existing client with a signed consent form for me to be able to assist you with any specific concerns.
