About Me

Practical, Calm Breastfeeding Support

I provide practical, respectful breastfeeding support for professional mothers—especially in those intense early weeks and as you start thinking about returning to work. As a working mom, I know how quickly feeding challenges collide with pumping logistics, childcare handoffs, and a full calendar, and I’d love to help you find a plan that actually fits your life. I’m an IBCLC, and I focus on clear next steps—like easing discomfort, troubleshooting bottle refusal, and making pumping feel less stressful. I’m based in Raleigh, North Carolina, and I bring care to you.

Policies

Booking & Billing

Payment is due at the time of your visit. If we bill your insurance, any copay, coinsurance, or amounts not covered will be billed to you after your claim is processed.

I accept select insurance plans (Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Tricare) and will verify your benefits when possible. Coverage depends on your plan, and you’re responsible for any copays, deductibles, coinsurance, or services your plan doesn’t cover.

If you need to cancel, please let us know as soon as you can so another family can use the time. Late cancellations may have a fee, especially for home visits.

If you’re running late, please call or text as soon as you can. We’ll do our best to make the visit work within the time that’s left.

If you miss your visit, please reach out as soon as possible so we can help you reschedule. No-shows may have a fee.

If you need to move your appointment, contact us as soon as you can and we’ll find the next best time. We try to stay flexible, especially in the early postpartum weeks.

If you prepaid and plans change, we’ll apply your payment to a rescheduled visit when possible. If we can’t provide the service as planned, we’ll refund any unused amount.

After you book, you’ll get a confirmation and a few quick questions so I can tailor the visit to your needs. If you have an urgent feeding concern, start with the 15-minute phone consult for quick guidance and next steps.

I try to apply these policies with care because postpartum life can be unpredictable. If something unexpected happens, reach out and we’ll figure out the most reasonable next step.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during the first consultation, and how should I prepare?

We’ll talk through what’s been happening, your goals, and what feels hardest right now. During the visit, we’ll look at feeding and/or pumping as relevant, then leave you with a clear, realistic plan for the next steps. After you book, you’ll receive a confirmation and a few quick questions so I can tailor the visit to your needs.

Is this a good fit if I’m breastfeeding and also using bottles (or plan to)?

Yes. Many working mothers need a plan that includes both breastfeeding and caregiver feeds. We can focus on making bottle feeding more workable while supporting your breastfeeding goals and building a routine that fits your schedule.

How many visits do people usually need?

It depends on what’s going on and how quickly things change at home and with work plans. Some families feel clear after an initial visit, while others prefer a follow-up to adjust the plan once they’ve tried it in real life or when childcare/work routines begin.

Do you offer a low-commitment way to start, and what are your fees?

Yes. If you want quick guidance first, the 15-Minute Phone Consultation (Free Promotional Offer) — $0 is a simple starting point. If you’re ready for hands-on help, you can book an Initial Lactation Consultation (First Visit) — $200 or a Follow-Up Visit (Individual Session) — $150. For return-to-work planning, the Back-to-Work Lactation Support Program (Outcome Based Package) — $500 is available.

What does the Back-to-Work Lactation Support Program include?

It’s a structured way to plan for pumping and feeding around your return-to-work timeline. We focus on practical decisions like when to pump, how to handle caregiver feeds, how to reduce stress around the workday routine, and how to adjust once you’re back at work. The goal is a plan you can actually follow, with room to adapt—without promising a specific outcome.

Do you have references I can speak to?

Yes—references are available upon request. If you’d like, I can share contact information for past clients who have offered to speak about their experience.

Do you take insurance, and what are your cancellation and timing policies?

I accept select plans (Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Tricare) and will verify benefits when possible. Coverage varies, and you’re responsible for any copays, deductibles, coinsurance, or non-covered services. Payment is due at the time of your visit; if we bill insurance, any patient responsibility will be invoiced after the claim processes. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact us as soon as you can—late cancellations and no-shows may be charged a fee, especially for home visits. If you’re running late, call or text and we’ll do our best to use the remaining time.

Testimonials

What People Say

"I reached out in the first week because feeding already felt painful, confusing, and much harder than I expected. Elena was calm, reassuring, and incredibly practical. She helped me understand what was going on, made small changes that mattered right away, and later helped me make a plan for pumping and going back to work. I finally felt like I could do this."
