Prenatal Care

Personal or Couple Prenatal Lactation Appointments

Family Seasons is committed to offering comprehensive lactation services tailored to the unique needs of each family. We understand that the journey of lactation—making milk to nourish another human—is miraculous, yet can be filled with questions and challenges. That's why we've designed a variety of services to guide and support you through this crucial phase.

Our offerings include Personal or Couple Prenatal Lactation Appointments, ideal for first-time parents or those anticipating difficulties with lactation. We aim to provide both practical and emotional nursing support for newborns, focusing on latch and breastfeeding assistance.

For expectant mothers looking for a deeper emotional and physical connection with their in-utero baby, we offer Prenatal CranioSacral Therapy. This therapy is particularly beneficial for mothers experiencing anxiety, nervous feelings about upcoming childbirth, or any form of pregnancy discomfort. It's a holistic approach that complements our lactation consulting for breastfeeding mothers.

We also offer Group Prenatal Lactation Classes. These classes are an excellent way to gain knowledge and share experiences with other expectant parents. Keep an eye on our MommaCircles for upcoming sessions.

Each service aims to equip you with the tools and knowledge you need, whether it's mastering positioning and latch,  dealing with nipple concerns, or optimizing milk supply and pumping for when you go back to work, let Family Seasons be your trusted guide in navigating the beautiful yet complex world of lactation.

Prenatal CranioSacral Therapy

At Family Seasons, prenatal CranioSacral Therapy is much more than a session; it's a holistic experience designed to enrich both mother and baby. This specialized therapy recognizes the profound anatomical changes an expectant mother undergoes, celebrating the body's incredible capability to conceive and nourish a new life.

When you arrive for a CranioSacral Therapy session, you'll find an environment tailored for comfort and relaxation. Whether you choose to lay on a cushioned massage table with supportive pillows or sit in a cozy chair, the setting adapts to your specific needs at every stage of pregnancy. Our therapists are expertly trained to use a light touch to monitor the circulation of cerebral spinal fluid in your central nervous system, as well as that of your baby. This monitoring is followed by gentle hands-on techniques designed to release discernible tensions that may affect you or your child.

Sessions usually last about an hour, offering precious benefits even after just one visit. If you opt for additional sessions, you can expect to see extended and fortified results. Our therapists work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, ensuring that each session aligns with your particular needs and goals. At Family Seasons, we are committed to offering you the highest level of care on your path toward a healthy, fulfilling pregnancy.

Group Prenatal Lactation Classes

Family Seasons proudly offers Group Prenatal Lactation Classes as a part of our comprehensive support for expectant parents.

Ideal for first-time parents or those looking for a refresher, our classes cover a broad range of topics, from latch and positioning assistance, bottle support for newborns, effective pumping and hand expression techniques. We also delve into essential topics like milk storage, including best practices for using your fridge and freezer. Concerned about potential challenges like cracked or sore nipples, blebs, or thrush?
