Lactation &
Childbirth Support
You’re here because you are entering a new phase in life.
Birth and Lactation come with many new experiences. Your body is changing and growing in ways you have never experienced both before and after birth. Let’s connect and discuss all the wonderful things that are happening and how you can prepare for your new growing family.
Hi, I’m Candis.
I believe you have the power to create an amazing journey you will cherish forever.
I love pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding. It is my favorite thing to learn and talk about. I have four beautiful children and each has taken me on a different road through motherhood. I have had the privilege of working with women and babies for nearly 20 years.
I am passionate about your goals and wants. I hope as we work together, we can learn from one another and dedicate our motherhood journeys to discovering this wonderful way of life.
How it Works
What you need now is confidence. I’m here to help you simplify the process as you begin your journey.
1
Prenatal.
I love to meet with families in advance to help them prepare for breastfeeding. We can discuss what your breastfeeding goals look like. I will help you understand the physiological aspects of breastfeeding, how your baby comes with special reflexes to help them navigate this new way of life, and practice some hand expression. This is a great time to learn about breastfeeding and what to expect.
2
Initial.
An initial consult is the first step to getting to know you and your baby. I will discuss your health history, family history, pregnancy, and delivery. We can get to know your baby by doing a full body and mouth assessment, and observe a full feeding session at the breast. We can address any questions and concerns you may have as we establish a breastfeeding plan that meets both of your needs.
3
Follow Up.
Follow up consultations consist of any changes and bumps you may have hit along your breastfeeding journey. Babies experience many milestones through their first few years of life and each can bring a change to breastfeeding. We can work on improving positioning during distracted feeding, introducing solids and how this might affect breastfeeding, and everything in between. This is your time to discuss and celebrate each step of your breastfeeding journey.
Ready to help YOU & baby?
Women empower women. Each consultation is a one-on-one, individually based time where you can learn, embrace, and celebrate your journey through motherhood.
