Most breastfeeding advice comes in one-size-fits-all.
But bodies don't.
Most latch advice is built around one position.
So when it doesn’t work, you’re told to adjust yourself, push through discomfort, or force it anyway.
But what you really need is support that adapts to your baby’s reflexes and your body.
Because feeding should feel supportive — not stressful.
Let Me Guess.....
You were told to stroke your nipple down your baby’s mouth, then squish your breast into a 'sandwich' to get as much of it in their mouth as possible.
Now, you’re struggling to get your baby to open wide at all. Instead of a deep, comfortable latch, your baby’s sucking or slurping your nipple into their mouth—and even if you get past the pain, you’re stuck in an awkward position for the entire feed.
And let’s be honest—the forceful method you were taught never really felt right, and none of this feels even close to natural, and you are starting to dread feeding your baby.
Here's the secret you need to know: there’s just one key detail that your missing, and it changes everything.
The method you've been using taught you to skip key reflexes.
Touching your baby’s lips with your nipple triggers their sucking reflex before they’ve been given the cue to open wide, and that turns the whole process into a struggle.
Imagine trying bite into a massive sandwich without opening your mouth first - awkward and messy, right?
Missing these key reflexes makes latching feel confusing and frustrating, leading to a painful, shallow latch. But what if you could tap into your baby’s natural instincts and quickly get the deep, comfortable latch you’ve been searching for, right away?
It doesn't have to stay this way.
Most breastfeeding advice is one-size-fits-all, but bodies aren't.
If latching feels forced, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong.
And you don’t need a different hold.
You need support that adapts to your baby’s reflexes and your body.

Julia Greenspan
I had already seen four lactation consultants and a speech-language pathologist (all in person). Within 20 minutes, Avery taught me a different way to latch and gave me the first pain-free latch I experienced in 7.5 weeks.
Ali Nolan
Avery is wonderful! I had my first baby this summer, and even with reading about breastfeeding and taking a class, I still needed help, and Avery was patient, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. She explains things very well and is willing to help you until you find what works.
Ashley Miller
The info is so unique. I have never learned latching this way, and FINALLY it makes sense. The techniques worked on my child immediately. I was baffled that he finally opened his mouth wide for me after weeks of us not getting close to a proper latch.
You Deserve Latching Support That:
Respects your body.
You should never feel forced into a position that doesn’t feel safe, comfortable, or sustainable for your body.
Good latch support helps you learn how to find what works best for you.
Builds your confidence.
By understanding why what you were doing wasn’t working for your body — and what adjustments help — so things don’t fall apart when you’re home on your own.
Feels good, for your baby and you.
Feeding your baby should be something you can genuinely enjoy — physically, because it feels good, and emotionally, because you can be present instead of worrying about what you are (or aren’t) doing right.
Let's make latching work for you, even with...
• A larger body or larger breasts
• Soft or elastic tissue
• Breastfeeding or chestfeeding with a Supplemental Nursing System (SNS)
• Nipples that are flat, short, long, or shaped differently
• Feeding advice that's never felt like it was made for you.
So you can stop worrying about what’s wrong and start knowing what works.

Quick answers before you book.
Totally normal to have questions. Here are a few quick answers.
How Much Does a Latch Lesson Cost?
Latch Lessons are $149 per session. While I don’t bill insurance directly, many families use their HSA for these visits, and I’m happy to provide a detailed receipt for HSA documentation. If you’d like to pursue out-of-network reimbursement, I can also provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance.
What will we do during out session?
Yes—and in many ways, it works even better.
Because I can’t physically latch your baby for you, I coach you step by step while you do the feeding in real time. That means you’re learning what to do in your own body, with your own hands—so the changes actually stick.
You’ll also get a replay of your session, so you can revisit what worked anytime you need it… including in that 3:00am fog.
And it’s more flexible, too. If your baby falls asleep or isn’t ready to feed during our scheduled time, we’ll reschedule so you can get the support you came for.
How is this different from a typical lactation consultation?
Most feeding support starts with a position you’re supposed to fit into.
In a Latch Lesson, we do the opposite.
We look at how your baby is already trying to latch, how your body is built, and how your baby’s reflexes show up in real time.
Then we make small, personalized adjustments that work with what’s already happening — instead of forcing a position that never quite feels right.
I’ll coach you step by step with suggestions, not mandates.
If something doesn’t feel good, we don’t push through it. We adjust, experiment, and try again until it does.
You’ll also learn what a functional latch actually looks and feels like on your body — what matters, what doesn’t, and how to tell when things are working so you’re not second-guessing yourself at every feed.
The goal isn’t just for feeding to work while I’m watching.
It’s for you to understand why it works — so you can keep it working at home, even when things change.
Can a virtual latch session actually work?
Yes — and for many families, virtual support works better than in-person visits.
Because you’re feeding in your own space, with your own setup, we’re working with what actually happens at home — not a version of feeding that only exists in an office.
I can see how your baby approaches the breast, how your body is positioned, how the latch forms and changes, and how your baby’s reflexes show up in real time. From there, I’ll guide small, specific adjustments you can feel and repeat yourself.
Virtual sessions also mean you are doing the hands-on work — not me. That’s what builds confidence and makes the changes stick long after our session ends.
If virtual support couldn’t help with latch issues, I wouldn’t offer it. I’ve seen it work — again and again — for families who thought nothing else would.
Who are these sessions for?
Latch Lessons are for every human who wants to latch and feed their baby directly from their body.
It's not about how much milk you make, what tissue you have or how often you want to feed...these sessions are here to help you learn how to make latching work and feel better, for your body and your baby.
Feel confident knowing that your body was made for feeding.
You don’t have to keep pushing through a latch that feels painful, awkward, or confusing — or trying to make your body fit an approach that doesn’t work for you. You can feel comfortable and confident feeding your baby.
Even with your body — just as it is.

Let Me Guess.....
You were told to stroke your nipple down your baby’s lips, squish your breast, and push it inside their mouth as soon as they open. Now, your baby won’t open wide, latching hurts, and you're stuck in an awkward position for every feed.
And let’s be honest—the method you were taught never felt quite right, did it? But there’s one key detail that’s been missing—and it changes everything.
The method you've been taught skips your baby's key reflexes.
Touching your baby’s lips with your nipple triggers their sucking reflex before they’ve had a chance to open wide.
You've been accidentally skipping over the cue that tells them to open wide.
It’s like trying to eat a massive sandwich without opening your mouth—awkward and messy, right? Missing this cue has made latching confusing and painful.
But when you tap into your baby’s natural instincts and give them that simple cue, you’ll get the deep, enjoyable and pain-free latch you’ve been searching for. And best of all? It happens right away.
