Clinical In-Home Support
90 minutes consults
Single in-home clinical visits are available on a limited, case-by-case basis at Hali’s discretion. Due to high demand, this option is not guaranteed and is reserved for select families with straightforward clinical needs that can be fully addressed in one appointment.
Single visits do not include unlimited messaging access or priority scheduling. To inquire about availability, contact us before booking.
Your cost with insurance: The clinical visit is billed directly to your insurance, plus a home visit travel fee based on your location. Travel fees typically start at $150-200 per visit.
Self-pay with a superbill: $350–400 depending on location. FSA & HSA accepted.

During a consultation, a lactation consultant will assess your breastfeeding technique, your baby’s latch, and any challenges you may be facing. We will provide hands-on guidance, offer personalized recommendations, and work with you to develop a plan that meets your breastfeeding goals.
Feeding doesn't exist in isolation. Your nervous system, hormones, recovery, and sleep all influence your milk supply and your baby's ability to feed well. Hali looks at all of it.
-
Lactation support is designed to help you navigate the challenges of breastfeeding. Whether you're struggling with latching, milk supply, or simply need advice, a lactation consultant can provide the guidance and support you need to ensure a successful breastfeeding journey.
-
An IBCLC, or International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, holds the highest credential in lactation care. While anyone can call themselves a “lactation consultant,” it’s essential to check for IBCLC certification when seeking support to ensure expert care. IBCLCs undergo rigorous training over 2-5+ years, including 90 hours of lactation-specific education, health science courses, and 300-1,000 hours of hands-on clinical experience. They must also maintain and renew their credentials regularly through the IBLCE. IBCLCs play an invaluable role on the healthcare team for breastfeeding families, offering a personalized, expert approach to help you reach your feeding goals.

Yes. Hali has completed extensive continuing education on tongue ties and the support needed before and after a frenectomy. She works closely with pediatricians, occupational therapists, and dentists to ensure your baby gets comprehensive, coordinated care.
One important note — tongue ties are rarely as simple as a quick procedure. If you're concerned, start with a consultation. Hali will help you make informed decisions so you're not jumping to interventions before they're truly needed.
-
For approved plans, your insurance may cover your lactation visit in office or some plans cover telehealth— prenatal, newborn, through weaning, and everything in between.
Please note: Depending on your insurance benefits, you may also be responsible for applicable copays, coinsurance, or deductibles for clinical visits. Please call your insurance company to determine if this applies to you.
What insurance doesn't cover is, travel to your home, the support between visits, the texts, the check-ins, the ongoing guidance that most moms find they really need.
If you want Hali in your corner between appointments, our Home Visit Packages and Poppins Pass Text membership was built for that.
-
Hali reserves your appointment time exclusively for you and your baby. Out of respect for that commitment we ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.
Cancellations made less than 24 hours before your appointment — including no-shows — will be charged a $100 cancellation fee. This fee is charged to the card on file and is not covered by insurance.
Life with a newborn is unpredictable, we get it. Please be sure to reach out with notice and we will happily reschedule you.
-
We see clients 7 days a week and do our best to get you in as quickly as possible, usually within 24-72 hours. We can occasionally accommodate same day appointments as capacity allows. Availability varies so the sooner you reach out the better.
Concierge package clients receive priority scheduling and are always seen first.
WhatsApp Heather at (305) 897-7449 for the fastest response.

Every family is different. Some families get what they need in one visit. Others benefit from ongoing support over several weeks or months, especially when navigating tongue tie, low supply, returning to work, or introducing solids. On average, most families work with Hali 4-8 times during their breastfeeding journey.
Hali will give you an honest recommendation at your first visit based on what she sees. There is no pressure to continue beyond what you actually need.
-
There's no such thing as too early or too late. If you're expecting or months into your postpartum journey, we can help!
-
While breastmilk is our thing, we are here to support you no matter what! No judgement!

Your home visit is 90 minutes of hands-on clinical support — in your own space, with everything exactly as it is in your real life.
Your visit will include:
✦ Full health history review for you and your baby
✦ Feeding assessment at the breast or bottle
✦ Latch and positioning guidance with hands-on support
✦ Weighted feed to measure exactly how much milk baby is transferring

✦ Oral function assessment and exercises if needed
✦ Personalized care plan emailed to you after your visitTo prepare for your visit:
✦ Have paper towels available for handwashing on arrival

Absolutely! And we highly recommend it. The best postpartum experience starts before baby ever arrives.
Insurance covers a prenatal breastfeeding preparation visit — a focused session with Hali before your due date covering everything you need to know about feeding before you're in the thick of it.
-
As a licensed medical provider, Hali follows standard clinical hygiene practices at every visit. She washes her hands thoroughly on arrival and before and after any hands-on assessment. Gloves are worn for all oral function assessments and any direct contact with your baby's mouth. She is fully vaccinated and up to date on all recommended immunizations.

Mother Poppins is a healthcare practice, not a hired service. Hali is a licensed IBCLC — the gold standard in lactation medicine — and your appointment is a clinical visit, held in a private, professional setting. Payment is required to confirm your appointment, and clinical protocols are standard and non-negotiable, just as they would be in any medical office.
We Do It All.
