I offer private breastfeeding support at home visits in Peterborough, Lindsay, and surrounding areas by booking at milc.help ($100.00 fee required). Book through the Home Visit link on the main page. No referral is required.If you have any private insurance coverage, lactation services may be reimbursed.

I also offer partially subsidized virtual and clinic visits through the Ontario Breastfeeding Clinic.

The in-person clinic visits are located at the following midwifery clinics:
