Carrie Kim, IBCLC

Services

No matter what stage you're in,
support is available.

Breastfeeding changes as your baby grows, so support is organized the same way: by where you and your baby actually are, not a single checklist for every visit.

You'll be booking directly with Carrie. Her name will appear after you select your location and insurance.

Prenatal

Older Babies

Breastfeeding can change so much as your baby grows.

How sessions work

In-home, in-office, or virtual

In-home visits across the Greater Sacramento area, in-office at the CuraNatal office in Orangevale, or virtual, whichever fits your family. Carrie is a provider through CuraNatal Health, and insurance or cash pay options are available at booking.

Beyond the basics

Oral restrictions and tongue-tie

Advanced training through the Oral Habilitation of the Breastfeeding Dyad masterclass means Carrie both assesses and supports tongue-tie and other oral restrictions many consultants aren't trained to catch, with referrals for collaborative care when that's the right next step.

“She suggested we see a pediatric dentist, who discovered lip and tongue ties, and Carrie supported us through the releases and relearning process.”
