Her medical background in pediatric hospitals and NICU settings, expertise in oral-motor assessment, and treatment with feeding skills across all ages, sets her apart.

Billing/insurance:
At this time, Pura Vida Lactation does not participate in or submit directly to any insurance plans. This allows us to provide a customized therapy plan that is in the child's best interest rather than having coverage determined by a third party. I can provide you with a Superbill for submission to your insurance for possible reimbursement
