COVID-19 Policies:
Due to the pandemic, Elevation Lactation is offering virtual lactation support via HIPAA-compliant Google Meet, which can be accessed using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Virtual visits last 1-1.5 hours, and the fee is $100. If in-person evaluation is required (as determined by IBCLC assessment), a 30 min home visit add-on will be $55. The in-person portion will consist of weighing baby (before/after feedings, as well as naked) and any necessary infant and/or maternal exams.
For urgent and emergent needs, including but not limited to: newborn feeding difficulties, tongue tie evaluation, slow weight gain, nipple damage, etc., we are also offering traditional home visits which last 1.5-2 hours, and the fee is $160. To ensure the health and safety of all, I will require that no one in your home is sick, and I will not work if anyone in my home is sick. My family and I respect social distancing recommendations, and I would ask you to do the same, for the health of your family, mine, and the community. I will wear personal protective equipment, including a mask, throughout the duration of the visit and I will maintain appropriate distancing whenever possible. I also ask that you, and anyone present during the visit, wears a mask. I will follow strict sanitation procedures for all of my equipment. This is all uncharted territory, but I am optimistic that these procedures will be a good compromise that keeps everyone safe and healthy, while ensuring access to necessary lactation support.
Please reach out to me directly with any questions or concerns. Best wishes to you and your family for health, safety, and peace during these difficult times.
