  • As a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, Desirée offers flexible, expert lactation support that centers your autonomy and respects your choices. Her scope of practice includes education, individualized support, referral and collaboration with other health professionals, and advocacy for you and your family.

    What she offers

    • Hourly, bookable consultations tailored to your needs — from prenatal planning to troubleshooting challenges postpartum.

    • Evidence-informed education about feeding options, milk supply, infant latch and positioning, pumping and bottle-feeding, returning to work, and combining breastfeeding with other caregivers.

    • Practical problem-solving for common concerns such as nipple pain, low milk supply, engorgement, mastitis, tongue-tie considerations, and fussy feeding.

    • Goal-focused sessions that clarify your feeding aims, map realistic next steps, and identify opportunities for growth and confidence.

    • Referral and collaboration with lactation consultants, pediatricians, OB/GYNs, mental health providers, and other specialists when additional medical input is needed.

    • Respectful advocacy to help you navigate systems and support people around you so your feeding choices are honored.

    Who benefits

    • Pregnant people planning for feeding after birth.

    • Postpartum people needing immediate troubleshooting or ongoing support.

    • Families balancing feeding with work, other caregivers, or complex medical situations.

    • Anyone seeking nonjudgmental, evidence-based guidance to meet their feeding goals.

    How a session works

    • You book hourly support focused on a specific topic or broader planning.

    • Desirée listens to your history, priorities, and current challenges.

    • Together you set clear goals, create a practical action plan, and identify referrals or resources as needed.

    • Follow-up options are available for monitoring progress and adjusting the plan.

  • Herbal support can enhance mental health therapy by addressing body systems that influence mood, stress response, sleep, and cognitive function, creating a more integrated path to recovery and resilience.

    As a trained herbalist, Desirée begins with a careful review of your current medical history and any medications you take. This step ensures safety and identifies potential herb–drug interactions. With that context, she recommends individualized botanical and lifestyle approaches that support both physical and emotional wellness. Recommendations may include nervine herbs to soothe anxiety, adaptogens to help regulate stress response, sleep-supportive botanicals for restorative rest, and digestive or liver-supporting herbs when gut or detoxification pathways influence mood.

    What to expect from a focused session

    • Comprehensive intake: review of medical history, medications, current symptoms, sleep patterns, diet, and stressors.

    • Safety screening: identification of contraindications and interactions; referral to a prescribing clinician when herbal care needs coordination with medical treatment.

    • Personalized herbal plan: single herbs or blends, dosing, form (teas, tinctures, capsules), expected timeline, and how to integrate herbs with therapy and other supports.

    • Lifestyle and adjunctive strategies: nutrition, sleep hygiene, movement, breathwork, and simple botanical self-care practices.

    • Clear goals and next steps: mapping short-term objectives (symptom relief, sleep improvement) and long-term goals (stress resilience, mood regulation), plus measurable checkpoints.

    • Referral and collaboration: if further medical evaluation or specialty mental health services are indicated, Desirée will refer you for additional support and coordinate care where appropriate.

  • Trained by Dr. Falami, Desirée offers sound-frequency sessions that blend compassionate listening with guided auditory immersion.

    What to expect

    • Initial consultation: a brief conversation to assess current needs, pinpoint events or patterns causing discomfort, and set intentions for the session.

    • Guided sound journey (30–45 minutes): Desirée uses calibrated sound frequencies to guide a focused, grounding experience designed to promote comfort and support emotional processing.

    • Integration and inquiry: time after the sound journey to process what arose, with Desirée offering reflective questions and suggestions for next steps in your healing journey.
