The Art and Science of Lactation

Just like birthing your child, it is important to prepare for the journey of nourishing your child. In this class we will cover all of the fundamental information you will need to feed your child including the benefits of body-feeding for both parent and child, how your partner and family can support you, common stumbling blocks, and how to navigate them.

Going Back to Work Lactation Workshop (2 hours)

Transitioning from parental leave back to the workplace can be very stressful. If your goal is to continue nursing your child when you go back to work, let me help you prepare: we will talk through your plans, troubleshoot any potential issues, and discuss what changes to expect for your body and your baby.

Please contact Jaimee to schedule $99 per couple

Lactation Support $50/visit

In-person or virtual support available
My favorite description of body-feeding is that it is half science and half art. Certainly, it is a natural, normal, and healthy way to feed your child; however, many birthing people need support in order to be successful. In the moment you are in need of help, that is where I come in. I will help you troubleshoot any issues, listen to your concerns, connect you to more resources if necessary, and help you develop solutions that are in line with your priorities for your family.

Birth Doula Services $1100

As your birth doula we will spend time during your pregnancy getting to know each other and forming a relationship in order to ensure you have a birth experience that starts off your parenting journey in a loving, fulfilled, and empowered way. We will meet twice during your pregnancy where we will develop your birth plan, discuss hopes for your birth, review comfort measures and any other pertinent information that you would like me to know. One of the meetings can be with your medical provider if you choose. I will also be available via phone for any questions or concerns you may have during your pregnancy. Starting from two weeks before your due date I will be on-call for your birth and will come to be with you as soon as you need during your labor (either at your home or your birthing location) until your child is born and generally one to two hours postpartum. I will also visit you once in your home during the first week after birth.

Placenta Encapsulation $325

With the exception of a few species, all mammals consume their placenta after giving birth. Some speculate that this is because of the nutritional benefits that consuming a placenta can offer after having a baby.The placenta delivers nutrients and oxygen to a developing baby and it is full of vitamins and minerals such as B6, B12, and iron. The placenta is also hormone rich with progesterone and estrogen. Anecdotal evidence on placenta consumption in human beings is overwhelmingly positive. The possible benefits of placenta encapsulation include: a decrease in postpartum mood disorders, increased production of oxytocin, a decrease in stress hormones, restoration of iron levels following bleeding after birth, and increased milk supply. Additionally, the placenta tincture can be used throughout the birthing person’s life to alleviate symptoms of menstruation and menopause. Service includes pick up from birth location, one blood print, 1-2 watercolor art prints, umbilical cord keepsake, placenta capsules, placenta tincture and delivery to your home.

Belly Binding $150

The ancient art of belly binding is a tradition that has been used in many cultures for many years. Belly binding can help the recently postpartum person feel secure and comfortable as their organs begin to shift back to their original position. Belly binding also assists in pulling your muscles back together to prevent diastasis recti and can help support both your pelvic floor and lower back. In addition to Belly Binding, during my visit we will check in about your birth, postpartum and the transition to parenthood. I will come prepared to answer any questions you may have as well as connect you to additional resources in the community.
