About

   Here at Lactation & Beyond, the goal is to focus on the new tiny human, as a whole.  Lactation is a very important subject that I am well versed in. However, that is not the entire story. I am here to offer support to your prenatal care from your OB, advice for feeding your baby with love, and any other parenting milestones along the way. I'd also like to look at the entire family as a whole and offer suggestions and advice to make your parenting journey the best it can be. Feel free to contact me so we can begin creating your personalized plan.

Alexis

Destannie has been an absolute LIFE SAVER! My baby had several set backs on our breastfeeding journey and Destannie helped me through every step. I never felt any judgment for my lack of knowledge and she encouraged me the whole way. When I needed help with sleep or was feeling overwhelmed with other peoples critiques she made sure I knew that I wasn’t alone and gave me great advice that had my baby sleeping better and me feeling much calmer! I will be calling her for potty training because I know she’ll have my and my baby’s best interest at heart while giving valuable and actionable advice. Thank you Destannie!

My Services

Prenatal Consultation

$100

Not every pregnancy is the same, nor every baby the same. This service is ideal for someone who likes to plan ahead as a first time parent, someone wants to plan ahead because this delivery will have expected extenuating circumstances, or for someone who has had issues with a previous newborn and wants to attempt to circumvent those same issue. (60 Min)

Initial Consultation: In home

Not everyone has the same needs or life circumstances. In fact, it’s hard to find two people who benefit from the exact same plan for their family’s wellness. Let’s get to know each other and make sure we’re all on the same page. (90 min)

In-Home Consultation : Follow up
