What happens in the session
Red-flag screening first
Olivia checks for signs that mean you need medical review today, so you are never left guessing whether it's "bad enough".
What's happening, and why
Together you look at symptoms, feeding pattern, pumping and what has and hasn't helped so far.
A clear, tailored plan
Practical steps for comfort, feeding and recovery, including the at-home support approach Olivia uses in her own practice.
Follow-through
If you need a GP, an IBCLC lactation consultant or other care, Olivia says so plainly and helps you get there.
What you leave with
A short written plan you can return to at 3am, the signs that mean it's time to seek medical care, and resources chosen for your situation.
Scope & safety
This is nursing support within Olivia's scope as a Registered Nurse. She does not diagnose or prescribe; when antibiotics, imaging or a medical assessment may be needed, she will tell you and help you arrange it. For complex lactation concerns, she may suggest working alongside an IBCLC lactation consultant.
