Becoming a Private Practice IBCLC

Are you interested in private practice? I've been doing private practice work for many years, and I know how difficult (and scary!) it can be to start and run your own business. I receive many emails from people who are needing a little guidance from someone who's "been there, done that." I'm happy to set up a time to talk with you about my work in the field of lactation, private practice work, websites and marketing, the realities of this work, etc. Please note that this consult is not to discuss clinical cases/situations.

30 minute virtual private practice consult for IBCLCs/those in training | $50
60 minute virtual private practice consult for IBCLCs/those in training | $85

Contact me directly to schedule a time to meet. I'm looking forward to talking with you!

These are just a few of the resources I have used to help me be more efficient in not just the clinical side of my work, but also the "other" side as well

Paperless IBCLC
This is a great resource by Annie Frisbie, an IBCLC in New York. Annie provides a blog with great information for PP IBCLCs. She also developed forms, templates, books, and more for those wanting to begin a PP business or who want to take their business to the next level with charting and going paperless. Annie provides many free resources and information in her FB group. If you purchase her Essentials Tool Kit, you'll get most of her resources PLUS free upgrades for life. That means when she adds something to or changes something in the Toolkit, you will get it as well!
