Low Milk Supply Support
Work with a Certified Lactation Counselor and Physical Therapist Certified in Breast Heath Care to increase your milk supply and feed your baby
Low Milk Supply Package
If you have been struggling with low milk supply or slow milk ejections (ie letdowns), we might be able to help! As a Certified Breast Health Specialist trained in therapeutic breast massage and the art of kinesio tape to help moms increase their milk supply and flow, I know that physiological factors are just one of the drivers that can be impacting milk supply.
That is why I am teaming up with Certified Lactation Counselor, Ronee Welch! Ronee is well-versed in herbal supplementation and finding the drivers of low milk supply within client's medical histories. Together, we help moms not only increase their supply but ensure they understand possible root causes of their supply issues and other ways to help rectify them.
We know how frustrating it can be for moms to not be able to produce all the breast milk they need for their child(ren), and we want to help! We help moms who…
*have never made enough milk to fully feed their child(ren)
*used to make more but now aren’t getting as much
*are “just enoughers”, who usually have just enough milk but no extra
*make enough milk but would like to make a bit more
Ronee and I recently ran an informal study to see if our taping technique would work to both improve a mom’s overall milk supply, as well as help with an improved milk ejection reflex (MER). We are excited to report that all the moms in the study (6) saw at least some improvement in one or both of those areas (see study results below)! It is clear to us that the technique can definitely help many moms improve their supply, though just how much is dependent on many individualized factors.
Because each mom’s case is different, we put together the following packages so that we can help you to explore the possible root causes of your low milk supply issue, while working to help you increase it. At the end of our time together, you will at least understand why you might not be getting the results you desire; though, we’re hoping to help you improve the supply you do have!
We believe that the taping technique we use can be the key for many moms, coupled with the lactation education that will be given afterwards. Ronee will talk to you about not only the possible root causes she sees from your questionnaire answers but also about ways to continue to improve your supply. Check out our packages below for more information!

Some of the Results/Feedback we Received from the Moms in the Study:
Katie:
mom of 6mo baby
After one week, mom reports a faster flow of milk with her child popping on/off less and gulping milk like never before. She notices many more letdowns now, and she can see many more sprays of milk during pumping sessions. At the end of the study she reported having more milk, using less formula, having extra milk for the freezer, and that her baby seemed much happier!
Danielle:
mom of 3mo twins
Mom started out by breastfeeding about 40% of the time and supplementing with formula 60%. By the end of the study, mom reports feeling much fuller and being able to completely get rid of the formula bottles! She’s now 100% breastfeeding both of her babies!
Daryll:
mom of 8mo baby
Mom started out being a “just enougher” and sometimes needing to take milk from her freezer stash to keep up with her little one. By the end of the study, mom has been able to make plenty of milk for her baby and be able to freeze about 6oz a day extra! She’s also no longer needing to supplement after breastfeeding sessions!
Andreina:
mom of 3mo baby
Mom reports feeling fuller after the taping was over and has increased her pumping volumes by 1-2oz per session! Before starting, mom felt that she had an “under-producing” breast and that her baby was less satisfied on that side. After the study, mom reports that the “under-producer” has now caught up and is satisfying her child. Mom feels letdowns again, where she hadn’t since shortly after birth, and baby is now back to solely breastfeeding!
