Feeding sucks sometimes.
Shame when you pull out the bottle in mom group.
Guilt over not enjoying feeding your baby.
Having to justify your choices, even when no one asks.
All of these can happen when feeding your baby doesn’t go as you hoped, planned, or expected.
And somehow, so many new parents feel like they’re alone in this experience, because we just don’t talk about it.
So, let’s talk about it!

Participants will pay one fee to be enrolled in all 5 sessions. Unattended sessions will not result in a reduced fee.
In an attempt to make this offering more affordable, I am implementing a sliding scale fee structure. Participants are encouraged to choose the option that is the most fitting for their own personal financial situation and capacity.
Tier 1: $250 ($50 per session)
Tier 2: $200 ($40 per session)
Tier 3: $150 ($30 per session)
