FAQ

What is a Registered Dietitian?

Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) are food and nutrition experts with a minimum of a graduate degree from an accredited dietetics program and who completed a supervised practice requirement, passed a national exam and continue professional development throughout their careers. (Eatright.org, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics)

What is a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist?

I earned my Certified Breastfeeding Specialist credential through Lactation Education Resources (LER). It involved 95 hours of lactation specific education.

 The Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS) certification identifies a lactation professional who has received training in the education and support of breastfeeding and chestfeeding families through pregnancy, breastfeeding initiation, and the normal course of lactation.

Do you take insurance?

I take insurance for nutrition services. See our Start Here page for more information about which insurances I accept. I will need a referral from your doctor prior to our first visit.

If I am out of network with your insurance, I am happy to provide you with a Superbill for any nutrition services if you would like to submit it to your insurance. I am a licensed dietitian in the state of Kansas.

Lactation services are self-pay at this time. Initial lactation visits are $120 and last around 1 hour. Follow up visits are between $60 and $120 depending on length of visit and last between 30 - 60 minutes.

Does my child need to be present at their nutrition visit?

If you are planning to use insurance, yes your child will need to be present for the nutrition visit in order for me to bill through your insurance.
