Postpartum & Infant Care Appointments

As lactation consultants, our aim is to provide education and support for breastfeeding and chestfeeding families through pregnancy, breastfeeding initiation, and any complications that arise along the way.

We can also support your pumping set up, return to work plan, as well as bottle feeding and bottle refusal strategies.

Our team has extensive experience treating babies with oral ties, birth trauma, and sensory sensitivity.

With the transformation that comes with birth, your body will feel sensitive, different, and new - especially when it comes to physical activity.

Together, we will assess your readiness for postpartum exercise and create a tailored physical activity plan if that aligns with your goals. (If it’s running, lifting, swimming, cycling… we will get you there!)

We’ll ensure a safe, supportive approach to help you feel confident and strong every step of the way.

You are postpartum forever, so if there is something lingering from a birth experience many years ago, this treatment is still appropriate for you.

Make sure your baby starts off on the right track with a watchful eye from an expert in development. Gain tools to help with positioning during feeding, positioning during play, and accessing the all-important tummy time! We will talk about your goals and create a plan together so you can stop googling, and simply enjoy your baby.

Do you want to learn how to massage your own baby? Let’s work on it! I will walk you through a neuro-developmentally appropriate way to approach massaging your infant at any stage of baby-hood.

Together, we will design a treatment session that makes sense for you and your baby.

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a subtle assessment and treatment tool. It is intended to release fascial adhesions, promote parasympathetic activity and offer nervous system regulation in both the baby and parent.

Appointments may be booked for you, your baby, or both in the same session. All CST appointments are completed at our office location in NE Portland (Laurelhurst neighborhood).

Additionally, some of our staff uses CST during your other appointment types. If you’re wondering if CST will be provided during a home visit, just ask!
