Happy Lactation Consultant Day – and All About my Site Launch
I am excited to share that my website has a new look and design.
What better day to launch it than TODAY, MARCH 6th, WORLD IBCLC DAY, a day we recognize and honor those who support parents on their journey feeding new babies. On this day we remember IBCLC’s in our communities and around the world. I will thank my colleagues for their amazing work in this field. IBCLC Day was developed to recognize the important role of the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and the specialized knowledge each has to make a difference in the lives of families.
My new site has many new features, the most important being the software for parents to communicate with me within the website. I have spent many hours researching the most efficient, HIPPA compliant platform for my clients and feel that I chose the best one. It has online scheduling ability so that families can chose their own day and time to see me. This can be accomplished even during the middle of the night when baby is awake. Then once a consult has been booked forms will be sent directly to their email to fill out in advance of our consult.
Also, clients will have the ability to pay ahead of time so that during our consult we can focus on the mother and baby’s needs. The site will have a new area for blog posts on important topics, including nutrition and self-care, traveling with babies, family balancing and more. I have included a beautiful page of my breastfeeding in art collection of images from around the world, wherever I have seen images of breastfeeding, I capture that. If you are interested in finding specifics about each image, I will be happy to share those with you. On the Services page you can see all of the options available that I provide, including a brief note as to what to expect in that particular service and the pricing.
The site designer is Claudia Palmira, my friend from elementary school with whom I reconnected after 30 years. We discovered through Facebook that we were both living in Rome (me part-time, her permanently). I was happy to chose her to redo the website which as you will see has a harmony of color and design, a flow which is user-friendly and easy on the eye. I learned during the site redesign the importance of adding a personal touch. You will see that in her design, she has captured the essence of my practice.
I am offering with my new redesign website, a special offer! If a past client refers me to friends or family, the new client will get a reduced fee of 20% off the consult fee for the first consult. This does not apply to follow up visits.
Thanks for reading all the way through and for sharing my news!
