OUR SERVICES

In-Home Consult

2.5 hours min. $400 Flat Fee

I come to you in your home and bring everything to you. I come with my professional grade Tanita neonatal infant scale, different brands/sizes of flanges, nipple shields, nipple ointment, bottles and other accoutrements needed. It looks like I am moving in! I do not have an alarm for when the session ends. I will never leave before the family feels we’ve accomplished everything they’ve wanted. Often this is between 2.5 -3 hours, or longer as needed. Typical session includes feeding, pumping and flange evaluation, maternal and infant history, oral exam, weight, basic lactation education, education, return to work plans, plan of care and more. Follow up in-home consults are billed only for actual time used, just like tele-health sessions.

Service area and travel distance: Included in the fee is a round trip 1 hour from my location to yours. I live in Leawood Kansas. If you live outside that area, I can still visit you. The extra time driving time will be added to your visit cost at the rate of my tele-health sessions.

Tele-Health Consult

1 hour $135

From prenatal, to latch, pumping, weaning, feeding plans, milk supply evaluation, flange fittings, return to work, introduction of solids, growth evaluation, mastitis, plugged ducts, sleep changes and more…I have been working virtually with clients for years and uses ZOOM for video calls. Trained by the best IBCLCs and LLLLs to be appropriately hands off, and very descriptive in her techniques. She doesn’t need her own hands; she teaches you how to use your own so that you can be successful even when the call ends. “My skill set lies in being able to teach you to use your own hands!” You will only pay for the time used to the 5 minutes. Upon scheduling you will pay for the first 1 hour, any unused time refunded post call, and any additional time needed billed post call. Repeat clients will be invoiced after our session.

Support Group

Summer has been leading support groups since her early days as a LLL Leader (cc. 2006) and continues to do so now as an IBCLC. She has a private FaceBook Support Group that is extremely active and grown to be worldwide. She moderates this group along with 14 other moderators (she carefully elected) to keep the group loving, without judgment or drama and only sharing evidenced based information. She fiercely protects this group, reads every post herself and to keep it safe, the only people that she accepts requests into the group HAVE to be invited by a current member.

This group is quite special according to members, saying this is their “Boobie Google” and only place they feel safe and can trust they will receive supportive and extremely helpful information. Members also love being able to see other people’s stories, challenges and successes. It can help everyone feel less alone during the vulnerable postpartum period.

People even remain in the group beyond their own journey’s end to be able to help others through their journey. Mothers supporting mothers!

*partners and men are allowed in the group as long as they belong to the lactating parent. The group also consists of many medical professionals, especially those in the mother/baby field.
