Why I Charge What I Charge for My Services

As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT)/Craniosacral Therapy (CST) provider, my mission is to offer you and your family the best care and support possible. I understand that healthcare costs can feel overwhelming, and it’s never easy to make financial decisions when it comes to your baby’s health and well-being. I truly care about your journey and want to explain why I charge what I do for my services. This is not only to help you understand the value of what you’re receiving but also to ensure that I can continue offering support to families like yours.

1. My Investment in Ongoing Education and Training

The expertise I offer comes from years of dedicated training and education in both lactation support and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT). I’ve spent significant time and resources on advanced courses and certifications to make sure that I’m equipped with the best knowledge and techniques to care for you and your baby. This ongoing learning ensures that I can provide you with the most effective and up-to-date care available, and it allows me to continue growing in my ability to help families with complex needs.

I believe that when you choose to work with me, you're not just paying for my time—you’re benefiting from years of specialized training and knowledge that can make a significant difference in your baby’s health and your experience as a parent.

2. The Time and Care You Receive

Each session is tailored specifically to your family’s needs. Whether it’s a longer initial consultation or a focused follow-up session, I’m fully present and engaged during our time together. The time I spend with you includes not just the session itself but also the preparation, the review of your baby’s history, and any follow-up support I provide. My goal is to make sure that you leave each session feeling supported and confident in the plan moving forward.

Additionally, my support doesn’t end at the end of our visit. You’ll receive two weeks of follow-up messaging support, where you can reach out with questions or updates, and I will continue to guide and assist you as needed. This ensures that you have ongoing access to support and can address any concerns that may arise after the session.

As a small business owner, I also dedicate time to the operational aspects of my practice—ensuring that scheduling, billing, and communication run smoothly so you can focus on what matters most: your baby and your family.

3. The Costs of Operating a Practice

Like many small business owners, I have operational costs that are necessary to run a professional and safe practice. This includes maintaining an office space, paying for insurance, professional memberships, and the various overhead costs associated with running a business. These expenses help create a stable environment where I can give you the best care possible.

While I wish I could offer my services free of charge, the financial realities of running a practice mean that I must charge for the care I provide to ensure that I can continue to be here for families like yours.

By maintaining this structure, I can continue to provide the support you need and be available for future care, all while ensuring that I’m providing the best possible service to every family I work with.

I want you to receive the care you need, and I’m happy to work with you to make that happen.

The value of the services I provide is not just in the hours spent with you but in the long-term benefits. Many of the families I work with see noticeable improvements in their baby’s feeding patterns, physical comfort, and overall well-being. It’s a privilege to see the positive changes that come from our work together, and I am deeply invested in helping you achieve those outcomes.

When you choose to work with me, you’re investing in your baby’s health and in a stronger, more confident parenting experience. I understand that these are important decisions, and I don’t take the responsibility of being part of your family’s journey lightly.
